“A home away from home! 10/10”
The Retreat is in a fantastic location, just a short walk to the centre of Carlingford. The place is so beautifully decorated and homely, with lots of finishing touches that make you feel so welcome. Beds are super comfortable, and a lovely outdoor area to enjoy too (with a cute little ginger cat who visited!). The host communicated all instructions clearly and was so helpful, only a message away. I would highly recommend the Retreat to anyone hoping to visit lovely Carlingford.

Our trip to Carlingford was enhanced by staying in this beautiful property- the interior design and decoration is superb. Essentials left in fridge , pods for Nespresso and fresh oranges to juice - just heaven.

The host is a pleasure to deal with! The house is in an amazing location- close to the very centre, but quiet enough to sleep! We cycled the Greenway and The Retreat is central for doing everything! We will definitely stay again.
