Philips house is a perfect location in Carrick. I stayed twice- once for a hen party and then for a family event. It was ideal for both! For the family event we had the small kids (3 months and 3 years) upstairs and they were not disturbed by the noise of the rest of us. It is short walk into the town, SuperValu is very close too. Communication with Philip was easy- he is very responsive to messages. There is no WiFi in the house, so we used hotspots for one family member from abroad. Recommend!
