A small piece of heaven, with close-up views of Carlingford Lough through most windows — quiet, cosy and tranquil, with high-end, boutique accommodation for four.
The cottage sits just outside Carlingford, a handsome medieval town on the edge of the lough and the foothills of the Mournes. It has been finished with care — a fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, Wi-Fi and Netflix — but the decoration that matters most is outside the glass.
Two minutes' drive brings you to Carlingford's restaurants, pubs and atmosphere; the road home brings you back to quiet. Suits families and anyone who has ever wanted to wake up facing the sea.
The view
Carlingford Lough fills the windows — the water changing with the tide and the weather, the Mourne Mountains rising on the far shore. Gulls, sailboats, and light that never repeats itself.
