Ghan House

We had an amazing time at Ghan house beautifully situated in the heart of Carlingford on its own private grounds. an oasis in an already beautiful spot. The staff were fantastic friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much work. The breakfast is possibly one of the best I’ve ever had you have to try the pears with turmeric. The dining room was so elegant. It had beautiful antique China.. we had an excellent four course meal the scallops were a highlight five stars an amazing place for a short break.

Stayed here on a Saturday night in their main house family room. Room was fantastic and well worth the extra money. We had dinner in the restaurant in the evening which was nice. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic. The natural yoghurt with their poached plums and granola was delicious. Great selection of homemade jams and bread as well. We also had the cooked breakfast which was very tastey. The only thing I would maybe suggest is having some gentle back ground music on when people are dining as the silence in the room was a little bit awkward at times. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The house itself is in a brilliant location to the village and has plenty of room for safe parking for guests.

A roaring fire in the hall was a very warm welcome on a chilly February afternoon . Our first trip to Ghan house I hope will not be our last. The owner Paul was friendly & helpful. The bar a snug spot with an extensive selection of wines & spirits is a great place to enjoy a night cap. The breakfasts were delicious & piping hot & our meal on one of the nights of our stay was absolutely delicious . I cannot recommend Ghan House for an unpretentious country house hotel stay . Several restaurants within a 3 mins walk of Ghan house were also exceptionally good & the pubs all really lovely too. The bathroom had the most comfortable roll top bath , separate shower & period suite. I found the towels to be of a quality rarely found in five star hotels . They were super fuffy . I also noticed that a young waiting staff were , well informed & friendly with each other , including their boss

Our first visit to Ghan House and we will certainly be back. So different to the usual hotel experience, this is a real Georgian house experience. Wonderful staff and amazing food. Everything you could want for a break that is that little bit special.

We discovered Ghan House via a random Facebook pop up over the summer. We booked to stay Fri 11th Oct on the B&B and dinner package. We checked in and got shown to our Garden room The room was magnificent, so spacious, wirh a large and comfortable bed and a lovely roll top bath. We met Paul in the small but cosy bar pre dinner. I'd read the history of the house and it was great to meet Paul and see his passion and pride for his business and guests. Our meal was amazing and the setting in the dining room really cosy. All the staff that we met were excellent. Being able to sit in the drawing room with the lovely open fire after our meal was brilliant Our breakfast was excellent and the service again excellent We thoroughly enjoyed our break and would definitely recommend if you are wanting to switch off for 24hrs We would love to return again in the future The house is a few seconds walk to the village of Carlingford with some lovely shops to potter in and enjoy a coffee along the way Thank you for a wonderful break

From the moment we visited Ghan House we knew it was the place for us to get married in and it did not disappoint and managed to exceed our expectations. All the team were amazing before and on the day. The ease of organising everything with them was truly remarkable and nothing was too much trouble. On our day the team were there when ever we or our guests needed them however at the same time it not feel like they were over crowding us in that the venue truly felt like it was our home for the day. The relaxed yet professional manner is unique and truly appreciated by all our guests including our (nervous) selves. Nothing was ever too much even when Paul himself had to arrive at 7 am to cook us breakfast on the morning we were leaving early for our honeymoon.The food was absolutely amazing on our wedding day and every other day. All our guests loved the venue and complimented every aspect of Ghan House. We really can not thank everyone from the team front of house to all the team behind the scenes for making our wedding day and 3 day stay in Ghan House remarkable. Can not wait to return in April for our 1st Anniversary and hopefully for many years to come! Darren & Lisa April 2013
