"Quite man location - quite splendid" Cong by sourbugger

Cong Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 29 photos

Cong

I am amazed that this place has not been mentioned yet - it gets loads of vistors, especially from the USA every year.

There are basically two things of interest here. The top class hotel - see the picture and the locations for the Quiet man film. Tips will follow shortly and I hope a car tour route for film locations.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful location
Cons:can you stand this much twee-ness
In a nutshell:Excellent for one or two nights of luxury

an interesting page ! Funny to see how an old movie may still promote such a small village after decades...
