Perfect!

We were pleasantly surprised by the location and how well appointed the home was! We had a quick stay but it was a great stop and resting location. We walked to dinner at Ferguson’s and had a few pints while caring the Open with the locals. Very friendly and safe spot. Ciara, our host, was especially helpful and kind.

Right by the sea

Lovely cottage with everything you need. Stand out feature though is being within 50ft of a sheltered and sandy beach. Local pubs and restaurants served good food. A special call out to the Carlingford brewery
