    A really terrible shame for this Movie Landmark to end up like this. I’ve watched “The Quiet Man” dozens of times during my life and never finish without a tear in me eye for the absolute top notch acting and scenery, both of which, for me, haven’t been equaled since. Marvelous cast, including the extras of the village and the now legendary other great actors of the day. Sadly missed , all. The Golden Time of Hollywood.

    ??? The Cottage still stands, as I visited with my father ( even sat at the table) there is a local woman who acts as a guide, and allows you to take photos. It is very well kept and looks exactly inside as it did in the film.

      The White-o-morn cottage is in ruins, it has been for some years, I've been there on a few occasions, what you visited is a replica, built especially for tourists, it's not the cottage that was in the film also it's nowhere near where the original cottage stood.
