I had the most enjoyable weekend at Red Island House with my brother and sisters, and our dogs. The location is incredible. I don't say that lightly. The views are stunning, both the long distance views, and the scenery in which the house is set. It's very remote, extremely remote. For me, this is perfect. It's also placed perfectly for day trips and activities. We did the Quiet Man tour in Cong, and we had great meals in Cong and Clonbur also, and plenty of traditional music and craic as well. The house itself is very well equipped, the decor is definitely dated but not lacking in facilities and extremely well heated and holds the heat well. The phone signal is hit and miss. My phone picked it up most of the time, others had less success. But really, it didn't matter. Neither does the decor. The house is comfortable. The facilities are excellent. The scenery and area is from heaven.
