The Retreat, Dundalk Street, Carlingford, Co. Louth, Carlingford, Ireland –

A very well located home in a quiet part of the town (Carlingford can get a little noisy at the weekend). Spacious and comfortable, Anne Marie was very accommodating and flexible with arrival time. Our group of six enjoyed our stay.

Clare, United Kingdom

The house was great perfect for our catch up - would love to visit in summer the back garden for bbq and drinks would be great - we were allowed to check out later than 12 which was great and much appreciated :) we will be back

Marie, United Kingdom

The Retreat was an absolute treat. Full of character and comfort with everything you might need and the landlady Anna Marie was lovely to liaise with. I particularly lived my jacuzzi bath! Absolute value for money if there is a party of you visiting this beautiful village of Carlingford.

We all thought that a book detailing how to manage heating system and cooker etc and little details of the local area would have been helpful though our host was more than happy to answer our queries when we phoned her. The weather turned chilly while we were there so a little coal /sticks and firelighters would have been a welcome touch so we could have lit the fire. We were all more than happy with the house and would recommend same to friends. We would book the house again if going to carlingford.
The retreat was perfectly situated in the heart of carlingford within walking distance of pubs and shops.We loved the outdoor walled garden and the house was very comfortable and warm.bedrooms were spacious and also comfortable.We would definitely return to the house.

House could do with updating which would help to keep the house cleaned better. The taps were very wobbly for example. The house could be very lovely if given a face lift. Also garden very sweet but needed attention. In all it was shabby chic but without the chic I'm afraid.
Owner was very helpful and responded to text queries. Beds were comfortable. Very convenient for the four seasons where we attended wedding. Liked the house itself.

Beautiful house, really pretty and peaceful, lovely court garden, pictures on site do the place justice, just a few minutes walk from what can be a very busy lively town (especially at the weekends) but still very peaceful and tranquil, lovely sitting room, old style décor (which I loved), lots of great reading material in the house, looking forward to visiting again
