Ros cottage is more idyllic in reality than the photos can convey. It’s situation on the side of mountain is really quaint and feels totally isolated (in a good way!), yet isn’t at all, with easy access to Carlingford village. The views are spectacular, and it has immediate access to fabulous walking trails, including “the Deserted Village” which is steeped in history and intrigue, as well as more challenging climbs further up the mountain. We also enjoyed dandering one minute down the lane to say hi to the neighbour’s horses each day!
The house itself is very homely and full of nooks, crannies and family photos and mementos. It was clean, and had copious fresh linens and towels. The outdoor space has not been conveyed in other reviews - it is fantastic! A mature and extremely well maintained large garden, with beautiful beds including an array of colour and variation of plants and flowers. The views from the large lower garden where my children enjoyed playing football and rolling down the grass bank, are phenomenal.
Rachel was a great host, very communicative and responsive.
