    engaging dining experience
    unenthusiastic check-in

    The culinary experience was enhanced by the lively musical event, creating a delightful atmosphere during dinner.

    The check-in process felt a bit laconic, lacking the welcoming charm I expected.

    picturesque garden
    cozy room

    great stay but some room for improvement

    The gardens were beautifully landscaped, creating a serene atmosphere to relax in. Our double room was tastefully decorated, offering a cozy retreat after a long day. Breakfast featured a delightful selection of locally sourced ingredients, which truly impressed us. The mountain view from our room added a picturesque element that enhanced our experience.

    top-notch food
    chilly room

    We had a grand stay in this cozy spot, the views were breathtaking, and the food was top-notch! The only hiccup was a chilly room that didn’t quite warm up. All in all, it was a mighty relaxing getaway!

    Exceptional Quality and Relaxing Atmosphere

    During our stay, we enjoyed the stunning ambiance and the blend of historical charm with modern comforts. The delicious breakfast featuring homemade brown bread and locally sourced options was a delightful start to our day. the vintage-style bathrooms, complete with luxurious toiletries, added a unique touch to our experience. One small improvement could be ensuring the bathwater is heated adequately for those long, relaxing soaks.

    What a delightful retreat! The gardens are stunning, and our room felt like a cozy little nest. The ambiance is charming, and I can't wait to return!

    Had a bit of a wait for drinks, like playing hide and seek with the staff. coffee at breakfast could use a bit more pep!

    The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast with plenty of local options. The gardens had stunning views, enhancing our overall experience.

    excellent dinner
    stunning views
    comfortable room
    noisy neighbors
    broken kettle

    I spent two nights in a double room with my partner. The dinner was excellent, and I appreciated how the staff accommodated my food allergies without fuss. The restaurant offered stunning views and locally sourced options, which added to the experience. I enjoyed relaxing by the log fire in the lounge after exploring nearby hiking trails. The cleanliness and comfort of the room made my stay enjoyable.

    quiet atmosphere
    dining ambiance

    Ghan House is a treasure! The luxurious room we had featured a canopy bed and a stunning claw roll top bath with views over the water. Dinner, prepared by the French chef, was an absolute delight. every course showcased exquisite flavors that made dining a true sensory experience. Breakfast the next morning was equally impressive, especially the homemade wheaten bread and jams. I appreciated how extensive the information about local attractions was, making exploring Carlingford easy. the coffee at breakfast could have used a bit more pep to kick start the day. We also found the dining atmosphere a bit quiet at breakfast. a little music playing would have helped lighten the mood. Ghan House offers a cozy, inviting experience that draws you back with its charm, but a few simple tweaks like coffee quality and ambiance could enhance it further.

    The heating was an issue. the room felt cold at times, making it less comfortable than hoped. Breakfast was served in a chilly ballroom—despite the beautiful decor, the ambiance lacked warmth. The coffee at breakfast could do with a bit more strength, and the continental offerings felt limited. noise from nearby guests at night disrupted sleep, and there was a lack of staff during busy dining periods, which impacted service. It was also noticeable that some menu items were poorly presented and didn’t quite match the high expectations set by the dinner the night before.
