A Georgian house · Carlingford, Co. Louth
A Georgian house. An unhurried evening. Between the mountain and the lough. Eleven bedrooms, each quietly distinct. A table that’s yours for the whole evening. Wines that reward a hard-earned break.
A welcome
A quiet Georgian house at the edge of a medieval village, between the mountain and the lough. Come and stay, come for dinner, come for a walk in the walled gardens.
A Georgian Country House
Just a tree length from medieval Carlingford
Built in 1727 and one of the oldest private houses of its type in Ireland, Ghan House is now in its 31st year of continuous family business. Three acres of castellated walled gardens give way to eight acres of stables and horse fields, with views of Slieve Foy mountain, Carlingford Lough and the Mournes beyond.
