Ghan House is a unique venue for weddings and other celebrations which require exclusive use of one of our dining rooms or utilising the whole house.

If you are after an alternative to a 'hotel' function, then Ghan House certainly offers that relaxed informal atmosphere only an Irish country house can give. It has beautiful landscaped gardens on the edge of a medieval Heritage town of Carlingford.

The menus reflect our passion for food with taste and imagination. We can cater up to 75 guests for dining and up to 120 for a fork buffet and for as few as 12 guests for a private party.

Our ballroom has a maple floor - ideal for dancing.

We have a full drinks licence and extensive wine list.
