Mountain Walk was a wonderful first international getaway during the pandemic! The house had so much space and the door between the living/dining area kept noise to a minimum while other members of the family slept in due to jet lag.
The kitchen and outdoor tables at the house were exactly what we needed to stay away from the crowds in Carlingford.
The main village is just a walk down the hill through gravel paths. It was easy to grab items from the grocery store and walk them back up to the cottage.
Our party of 8 hiked the trails on the mountain— we also did the two mile walk to the abandoned village. Highly recommend! There are several bike rental locations. We used Carlingford Greenway Bike Hire and then cycled to Omeath.
Speaking of which, the best amenity of the house was the detached laundry room with WC. We kept all the dirt/mud away from the house!
