Millgrange Cottages

7 Adults plus 3 kids and we are having a great time.   Carlingford is beautiful, the landscape is majestic.  4 Bedrooms, one ensuite plus family bathroom.  Big kitchen with adjoining large dining table.  Lounge with TV , WiFi.  Plenty of parking.  Great for families. 

Car is needed to get around but a visit is a must !

We found Don and Mary the ideal hosts and Millgrange to be a great location. It was exactly what we needed in order to explore the area during the day and then relax in the evening. 
Would recommend having a car with you to really get the benefit of the surroundings. 
Don and Mary were both very welcoming and helpful and so thank you.
Would certainly go back.

Carlingford is a wonderful secret which is only for the adventitious 
Great pubs with traditional music and food. Shopping for Irish memorabilia, art, jewellery or cloths. 
We used this as a base to travel to Dublin, Omare, Killkenny and Galway. 
Our hosts were exceptional  Don and Mary. 
Thank you for your assistance during our stay with you.

Ideal Hosts and Location

Lovely Cooley Cottage.

Great location

Staying in this large, one bedroom, one bathroom cottage was very interesting and very disappointing. It is well located near the town of Carlingford, and many sights of the Mourne Mountains and Boyne Valley are easily accessible. However, we’re not sure why the Bord Failte has given it a four-star rating, unless their scale is from 1 to 10. We would give it a 2.

Pros: Location is good; there is a washing machine and dishwasher in the kitchen; a good amount of space; and the hospitality shown to us by Mary.

Cons: No Wi-Fi, but we knew that when we rented. You can access the internet at a nearby golf course or, as we did, go to the Louth County Library in Dundalk, about 25 minutes away. The kitchen is very poorly stocked – a few unmatched dishes, pans but only one small skillet, only one sharp knife; the floors boards are loose and very squeaky – don’t expect to sleep if anyone is up and moving around downstairs; two single beds in the loft bedroom; small bathroom with no place to put anything like combs, deodorants, shower items, etc., no light over the sink for shaving and, due to the design and sloping ceiling, don’t plan to stand up to use the toilet unless you are under five feet tall; the water pipes squeal when turned on and off – again, light sleepers beware. 

But perhaps the most disconcerting issue was that on at least three occasions, the owners came into the cottage while we were out, without our knowing they planned to do so. Yes, they did empty the trash, but we were given instructions for what to do with the trash when it needed to be emptied, instructions which we were prepared to comply with. We have been traveling for over a year and a half and stayed in over 40 cottages and apartments all over Ireland and Europe and have never had this experience. During one of these intrusions, we even noticed the beds had been moved – not sure why. 

Although Don Brassil is listed as the owner of the cottage on the Imagine Ireland website, in 12 days we never saw or met him until the last night of our stay. His wife Mary greeted us upon arrival and did a good job of showing us how things worked. She asked if we would like heat and we said an hour in the mornings would be nice, but that didn’t happen.  We did speak with Don on the phone once when he answered our call one wet and chilly morning when we were asking if we might have some heat turned on for an hour, which he did – just that once.  We will certainly never revisit this apartment and cannot recommend that anyone stay here without clarifying with the owners the rules of privacy and the policy for providing heat.

Overrated and Disappointing

Location is great and views are amazing. Spacious apartment however it was dirty and hadn't been cleaned. The cobwebs were everywhere , including the shower! Sheets were dirty, kitchen needed a good clean and overall an absolute disgrace as far as cleanliness was concerned. Will never return.
