Guestbook for Red Cliff House
"We wish we could have stayed longer"
We have rented houses all over Europe and the US and Red Cliff House is right up at the top. The house itself is modern and comfortable. The kitchen is better than our own. The views are incredible. This house is completely private. I think our only neighbor was a goat. If you need a getaway to relax and unwind this is the place. They also have an eclectic collection of reading material which kept us busy. We wish we had rented it for longer than one week. We truly did not want to leave. The Philly Gang, US, Feb '11
"Exactly what I wanted"
Stayed at the Red Cliff House in April for my birthday with a few friends and it was ideal. The house is amazing and a fantastic place to enjoy sitting around the table chatting with friends and admiring the view of the bay. Of course we were blessed with the weather so it was great for walking around the area & we managed to get a trip to the skellig rock done too.
It's a beautiful area and if you are looking for somewhere to relax chill out and spend some time with friends and family it's ideal. The bedrooms were very spacious and the natural light in the house is great. Would definitely like to spend time here again. Catherine, April 2010
"Style and comfort in abundance.
We had the most wonderful week at Red Cliff House - the house itself is magnificent with every comfort of home and more! The view from the living room is amazing - the sea, mountains, islands and even the sound of the sea - most relaxing holiday and highly recommended. Many thanks Maria and John - didn't want to leave but at least we left refreshed and ready to face the world again!" Regards June. January '10
"We spent 2 weeks at Red Cliff House and every day we enjoyed the location of our holiday home because it is ideally situated for all Iveragh coastal places and furthermore to explore Dingle and central Kerry. Its views are terrific and the house is well enough equipped for a comfortable stay.
With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms the house is really spacious and can be used by larger groups.
We'll certainly consider to return! " Hildegard and Achim and Pauline, Germany. July '09
