"Very close to the town centre — perfect for our hen group, much bigger than it looks from the outside and the location is beautiful with its views. Caroline was very helpful and responsive, exactly what we needed and taxis were so easy to get. Would 100% recommend and will be back in the future! Thank you ☺️"
"Great stay at Caroline's! House was as described and a great size for large groups. Caroline was there to greet us and the house had everything we needed. Walking distance to Carlingford. Would definitely stay again ☺️"
"Bellavista was a great location for all of us to stay while in Carlingford. We were a large group of 18 and the house had plenty of room to fit all of us. The place is clean and well laid out with only a short walk into town. Would highly recommend Caroline as a host, extremely helpful and kind."
