Excellent!

This property was absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking views. The pictures don’t do it justice! Aidan was on hand for anything we needed and we couldn’t have been made feel more at home. Couldn’t rate this highly enough.

Beautiful Home Outside Westport

Beautiful home! Aidan is a friendly and responsive landlord and ready to help with any issues. The home is clean, well layed out and well stocked with the usual courtesy supplies such as tea, coffee, milk, etc. The view is great and the home is very comfortable overall. The only issues were location; it you use GPS or Eircode you can find it. If you do not, it is fairly difficult to find. Additionally, it was not exactly clear from the online description that there is a dog kennel with multiple dogs just 30 feet or so from the home. If dogs are not an issue for you - you will be fine. However, I would stronly reccomend that the write up on the property be expanded to clearly indicate this situation. The brief passing reference to the dogs does not make it at all clear how very close they are to the house. Overall, the stay was enjoyable and Aidan is an excellent host.

Marvelous house!!

We loved the hilltop location and the beauty of this place! The house is gorgeous and very spacious!! The owner, Aidan, is a delightful host! Our one and only problem was a lack of written instructions on the washer/dryer. I’m not sure if it was our fault but the laundry took forever and came out VERY wrinkled. Still, you loved this place and would definitely stay there again. Hopefully for a longer visit!!

A family fave

This is the place to stay! Breathtaking views from almost every room in the house. If we weren't pressed for time we all would have been just fine enjoying the views and serenity of the house. It's perfectly located to 2 towns only minutes away with a lot to offer. Aiden was very friendly and offered fantastic suggestions for live music and exploring. Hope to make it back on our next trip whenever that may be.

About the host

Hosted by Aidan O'Sullivan

Hi, We are Aidan & Maura O'Sullivan. Born & Bred in County Down, we have lived in Connemara for 20 years, before moving to Islandeady, on the outskirts of Westport, in 2018.
And here we are, looking forward to welcoming guests to our home.

Why they chose this property

This is a modern, spacious and secure home, set on a hight with spectacular panoramic views over Lough Islandeady and the surrounding countryside.
It is a quiet and peaceful place with a large garden and outdoor furniture, which allows for outdoor relaxing and eating/drinking. There are two living rooms, one with a working stove in the fireplace.
It is a great place to use as a pivot to explore the many attractions and activities offered only a short distance away in Westport, Castlebar, Mullranny, Louisburgh and Connemara, and then return back to the peace of the home place.
Both Westport and Castlebar are only a 10 minute drive away.

What makes this property unique

It must be the view, so spectacular that I often get up at all hours in the morning just to witness the sunrise! It's simply breathtaking.
The Wild Atlantic Way and the Great Western Greenway are 10 minutes away.
