March 2011 Ghan House awarded their 1st AA rosette plus the AA's special 'Eggcup' award for "an outstanding breakfast using fresh local produce"

'An impromptu meal at the Ghan house on Monday could only be described as a heavenly experience. It has been a long time and many miles travelled to experience a meal as good as this. I chose the taster menu at a humble 27.50 euro, to taste six delicate courses of mouthwatering flavours which was presented with the natural gift of an artist's eye.

The food is fine dining, the atmosphere is comfortable as you slip into a homely contentment, sipping fine wines, over looking the gardens and the peaceful waters of the harbour set outside the medieval walls of the Ghan House.

My only wish is to be treated to the christmas menu which reads like a food lover's quest for the perfect christmas especially if the snow is falling gently outside!' Ellen, 17th November 2011

We are a fully restored listed Georgian House - one of the oldest private houses of its' type in Ireland with restaurant, bedrooms and cookery school just 50 metres from The Tholsel - Medieval Carlingford's old town gate.

Ghan House, Carlingford

Walled private gardens, just 50 metres from the heart of Medieval Carlingford

We have private parking, lockable shed for bicycles and 2 little homes in the stable for dogs.

The uniqueness of the house also lends itself to weddings on an exclusive use basis, private dining - for special birthdays & hen nights, and corporate hospitality - enjoying the comforts of a private bar, log fires & candlelight.

We have a small dedicated team - Orla & Sarah in the office, Jenny, Olavi & Caoile front of house, Theresa and Siobhan serving breakfast and of course our kitchen team. All overseen by Paul Carroll. His mother Joyce Carroll is semi-retired ~ she attends to the herb & vegetable gardens, the flowers in the house, some cookery demonstrations and visits to approximately 11 grandchildren.
