Have you ever met someone and felt you've known them forever? This is how we felt meeting Jacqueline. So much so, that when checking out we said "it was good to see you", forgetting that we weren't old friends and had only just met.
On the first night we were welcomed to her beautiful home. Our room was stunning, clean and worthy of a 5 star hotel (with complimentary chocolates included).
Opening our curtains next day we were treated to stunning views that we'd missed in the darkness the night before. Downstairs, Jacqueline had left out homemade jams, bread and scones. We chatted while we ate and completely lost track of time!
We explored Carlingford before the wedding we were there to attend. It's really charming and the locals are wonderful! Slipping in later that evening, an aura of wedding wine about us, we were met with offers of tea and biscuits. Lovely.
The following day we had another great breakfast accompanied by great conversation.
If you find yourself in Carlingford, stay with Jacqueline; you'll leave saying goodbye to an old friend.
