Enjoy three acres of walled gardens, log fires, and candlelit dinners at Ghan House: our 18th century Georgian house neighbouring fascinating Carlingford. It’s a treasure trove of history… and we’re a gem of hospitality, where beautiful en-suite bedrooms and a 2AA Rosette restaurant are available at your leisure. Come and find us nestled in rolling green hills – a staple of the Irish countryside.
We have strong sustainable values at Ghan House. Much of the delicious food we serve in our restaurant is sourced from the local landscape, including our own herb and vegetable gardens. For hot water and central heating, we use an air source heat pump, and we recycle and compost, too – taking all the measures we can to protect our planet while offering you a comfortable stay that’s packed with charm. Lounge in rooms filled with family antiques and cuddle up in plush furniture between heading out on adventures: we’re at the centre of so many, from UNESCO World Heritage sites to Ireland’s two capital cities and Carlingford’s several attractions. Hop onto one of our hired bikes and get going… there’s so much to see.
