Hope to be back someday. Stephen's place was perfect for my daughter and me. Stephen was a super friendly host, and honestly, the communication was amazing. He was very responsive as I was trying to set things up. As I did not have cell service and was completely dependent on periodic, free wifi, this was a surprise for me.
Carlingford is an amazing place and Stephen's place was right in the middle of it all. I only hesitate to recommend his place because I need it to be available the next time I am in Ireland.
Go to Carlingford. Meet Stephen. Stay in his place, and enjoy the fantastic breakfast he serves in his restaurant. You will not regret it.
