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

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

Thankyou for kind comments and observation that we are one of ‘the best places to stay in Carlingford.’ We’ve been recommended by The Bridgestone Guide for ‘The Best 100 Places to Stay in Ireland’ now for 15 continuous year which we’re really proud of – to be benchmarked against a myriad of places to stay – including the new ‘kids...

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

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

Thankyou….I think you have ‘hit the nail on the head’….it’s all about creating the atmosphere – in terms of the house – dovetailing the historic, listed building of Ghan House with modern requirements – decent central heating, power showers in most of our bedrooms, free wi-fi, ‘smart’ TV’s etc……………and in terms of delivering – our staff really do care that...

Thankyou for making some very useful & valid observations. You are correct, our bar is small. Small & perfectly formed in most peoples eyes. We are an old house – built in 1727. Fully restored listed Georgian house. Genuine Georgian antiques and original worn floorboards and Persian rugs. Thank you for recognising this. And we do personalise your bill by... More

30% of our guests who stay with us come from recommendation from other guests who may have eaten or stayed with us. 65% are repeat customers. So, thank you for re-affirming my belief that word of mouth is the best form of advertising! We pride ourselves in what we do here at Ghan House – from the individual décor of... More

Thank you for appreciating our endeavor to provide a genuine experience rather than a glossed facsimile that is here today, gone tomorrow and often not remembered. Our log fires and original wooden floorboards add to the ambience. You were one of the 1st to stay in our latest upgraded bedroom & bathroom. I’m glad you liked it! Character & ambience... More
