I'll put the TL;DR ahead of my full thoughts on the Carlingford House for the sake of brevity: this is your best possible option for a stay in Carlingford. Now, onto the specifics. The hosts, Peter and Irene, are beyond courteous. They took a personal interest in my girlfriend and my stay, offered us recommendations on walks to take, even arranged lifts for us into adjacent towns with other guests. It was courtesy beyond what we ever would have expected. The lodgings themselves are gorgeous. The house, as we understand it, has been in Peter's family for generations. It is beautiful (see attached pictures) and our room was huge, impeccably clean, and aesthetically excellent. There is also a reading room (with a lovely little library, bring a book to swap), and a few areas in front of the property to sit and read, or enjoy the sunshine, if you manage to get some. Finally, the breakfast. Breakfast at the Carlingford House was my favorite part of my stay in our entire Ireland trip. Between the french pressed coffee, the quality of the food, and the hosts check-in on our plans for the day, each morning was a lovely jumping-off point for another gorgeous day in Carlingford. Also, there was a soundtrack of string quartet covers of music from movies playing throughout. Really lovely. In closing, I can't recommend this place enough. Margo and I were very taken with Carlingford, and will surely be contacting Irene and Peter upon our return.

We stumbled onto Carlingford House by reference of another accommodation that was booked out and what a pleasant surprise! We stayed out in the carriage house (fully separated) and it was perfect for our needs as well as very lovely. Irene and Peter are great hosts and their breakfast was amazing! Also, their advice on local (and further north) sights was very helpful and appreciated. We would definitely stay again if we popped up that way again!

Carlingford House is an absolute beautiful Air B&B. The owners Peter and Irene Finnegan are very accommodating and will do anything to make your stay more enjoyable. The owners are very kind and it was great having conversations with them during there great breakfast. They are very knowledgeable of the area and can recommend some great places around town.

Great hosts who couldn't do enough for you, even suggesting places to go or stuff to do Ideal location less than 5 minutes from the village with plenty of parking on the grounds Plenty of towels and then tea/coffee etc for our two days stay Great view of the mountains from our window Nice sitting room with smart TV and more tea/coffee facilities Unfortunately our TV had only 4 channels (Ron came up and helped us get our firestick going as TV doesn't have an original remote), they are upgrading the TVs though Personal preference of normal duvet rather than blankets, though I did stay in the summer Pity they stopped breakfast, as there is a dining room, even a few cereals/pastry selection Overall a great stay and would be my first choice if back in carlingford and will be recommended to others

We have stayed here several times. Always the best. Beautiful rooms. Very convenient to the town.

Had a great time. Erin is fantastic and made us feel right at home.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay, owners are very nice. Quiet spot but still a 2 minute walk from everything.

Wonderful welcome from Peter (owner) he made us feel like "old friends". The accommodation was spotless and breakfast was gorgeous. Hopefully we will be booking again to stay at Carlingford House. Thank you Peter.
