We had our wedding celebration in June at Ghan House for 70 friends and family. Choosing Ghan House was the best decision we could have made. I have never seen such professional care and attention delivered with such warmth and hospitality. Everyone at Ghan House went to such great lengths to make our day special. At every stage of our...

We chose 'Ghan House' as our wedding venue having celebrated a friends wedding there in 2011. We didn't even consider anywhere else.....nowhere else came even close to what 'Ghan House' has to offer. From the time of booking, the care, attention and service we received was incredible. Nothing we asked for was a problem. Our wedding day itself was simply... More

9 of us dined in Ghan House on Sunday night. Ghan House is an early Georgian house which is shabby chic. The restaurant is busy and an early booking is advised, a couple of weeks. The pre dinner service in the bar is quick and polite and they do some nice cocktails. The owner's son is fully in evidance making... More

A wonderful hidden gem of Irish cuisine. Beautiful rooms and a delightful historic building are accompanied perfectly by a wine cellar to die for and food even better than that. If you don't want to eat there for some insane reason, the pubs and restaurants of Carlingford are only a two minute walk away. Really well looked after by Paul... More

We had a lovely long weekend break at Ghan House, which was altogether charming. We found the staff very warm and friendly and the food was excellent (my favourite was the Irish breakfast!). The rooms were spacious with beautiful décor and the location, on the edge of Carlingford Loche, is an ideal spot for a relaxing holiday. Top notch… thoroughly... More

Thank you for your kind comments – Weddings (from 21 guests to 110 guests) at Ghan House have the exclusive use of Ghan House & gardens, which adds to the intimacy and ambience you experienced. I agree, we are indeed in a privileged setting with wonderful views – 2 castles, the old town gate – the Tholsel, the harbour and... More

We had our wedding in Ghan House 1st of March 2013. Ghan house is perfect place for the small wedding. Very close and friendly. The food was excellent and service was brilliant. Special thanks to Paul and Sarah for all the help, we could not have better day and night.

It was a great day, enjoyed by all of us too….I remember we held your drinks reception on the lawns – the earliest in the year that we have ever done this in hosting exclusive use weddings over 15 years! Thankyou for your kind words and appreciating everything we do. More

We were really looking forward to a weekend away in beautiful Carlingford and chose Ghan House because of its Bridgestone Guide recommendation. It did have its good side - solid service, food cooked with good local ingredients - but overall it underwhelms, especially for the relatively high price: Furnishings in the room looked tired, housekeeping left bins un-emptied and there...

We discovered Ghan house (thanks to Alastair Sawdays special places to stay) on our honeymoon many years ago and have been back a few times over the years. So felt it the only place to celebrate my husbands 'special' birthday weekend for us and some friends. Paul Carroll was superb in making the arrangements for a private surprise dinner. My... More

Interestingly Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay in Ireland is the tried & trusted book I always use when staying at home here in Ireland or going abroad. We’ve been in it since 1999. I remember seeing the surprise on your husband’s face when he walked into our cosy bar and, unbelievingly looking at his friends who had flown in... More

A very warm welcome, a lovely room in the Annex and a superb dinner in a lovely dining room. The house exudes atmosphere. Only small let down was the breakfast which seemed tous like a bit of an afterthought and was served in a slighlly odd room lacking in the character of the rest of the house. Carlingford village was... More

Thankyou for your kind comments. Indeed, I often ‘test’ our bedrooms & sleep overnight in each of them, just to see what they’re like from a guest perspective. And I always find our garden bedrooms which you stayed in more peaceful – perhaps they benefit from views of the garden and mountain without a car park or road in sight…... More
