Island house was a delightful location for an unusual break. My wife and I did our 14 days Covid-19 quarantining here as required by the Irish Government, before moving on to visit family.
Island House is a beautiful home in a delightful setting and was perfect for us with the restrictions on our movements. Brian and his family were warm and generous hosts, attentive to our every need and looked after us extremely well throughout our stay. (Including coping well with the disruptions caused by storm Ellen.)
The rooms were comfortable, clean and very tastefully decorated. The gardens were a delight, with comfortable sun-loungers and seating, for when the sun shone – (which it did) with plenty of room to explore the extensive grounds.
The location is fantastic, Casletconnell is a great little town, and has superb access to great walks locally on the doorstep of Island House, with Brian providing good advice on things to do and places to go locally.
Only one downside during the trip, was from noise within the house. Our rooms were close to the living area of Brian and family, and the sound traveled freely and could be disruptive at times. That said, we would definitely return to Island House in the future - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return in more ‘normal’ times.
Thanks again, Brian, Ann, Mark, Andrea and of course James.
