This is a great location, peaceful and close to paths for great walks. You will need a car to drive to the supermarket and to any of the close by towns. We stayed here while kids attended sailing school in Carlingford and it worked well for that. The house itself is reasonable but has a few fixable faults. There are almost no instructions on how to work things (wifi - you need to pay as you go, and ask John for instructions on how to do this; heating and hot water via the back boiler so you need to have a fire the night before to get hot water, except for electric shower; washing machine - turn dial to move through cycles); there are not many kitchen utensils, could useful add a few things which would make cooking a lot easier; a clothes dryer would help too.
