Had the best stay ever at An Sconna! For starters, everything was just as advertised: A cozy, fully equipped private suite (bed, bath, kitchenette/den) in a beautiful home nestled in the foothills of the Cooley Mountains and overlooking idyllic Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains! So happy I stayed in Omeath, a quiet village a stone’s throw away from the medieval town of Carlingford yet equipped with the essentials: a good restaurant, an excellent cafe, a couple of pubs, a few mini-marts, and a petrol station. And for those moments you require a bit more, all you need to do is hop the bus to Carlingford (a good service running 3 or 4 times daily). If walking is your thing, the Greenway (mostly flat footpath to Carlingford) starts in the center of the village at Omeath Pier. As for hillwalking, I highly recommend a trek in the Cooley Mountains to Foxes Rock (and beyond!) commencing at Windy Gap, a trailhead next to Long Woman’s Grave just a few kilometers from An Sconna. Last but not least was Shauna’s gorgeous hospitality. I found her to be accommodating, easygoing, and more than willing to share her local’s knowledge of the Cooley Peninsula with me. And those welcoming scones - simply divine! Thank you, Shauna!
