Carlingford Escapes absolutely delivered! The accommodation was perfect and the team made everything so easy, a hilarious activity that had us in stitches, and pubs that kept the cocktails and craic flowing all night. The bride-to-be hasn’t stopped raving, and neither have we. Already plotting our “recovery weekend” back there!

We had a fantastic few days in Carlingford with the kids. The views were absolutely stunning with perfect for morning coffee and evening strolls. We did a fun family activity that had all of us laughing and the food in town was top notch, loads of great options for all tastes. It really was the perfect mix of chill and adventure. We’ll definitely be back!

Carlingford was the perfect spot for our stag. The accommodation was in a savage location close to everything, which was ideal after a few pints! We did an adrenaline-filled activity that had the lads buzzing all day, then hit the pubs and dance floors ‘til late. Great atmosphere, cracking tunes, and plenty of laughs. Can’t recommend it enough legendary weekend!

Our company booked a two-day retreat with Carlingford Escapes and it was a brilliant decision. The team-building activity was well-organised, engaging, and got everyone working (and laughing) together. The evening meal at a local restaurant was outstanding – great service and even better food. A perfect mix of productivity and relaxation. Highly recommended for corporate getaways.

Our sports club booked a weekend in Carlingford and it did not disappoint. Golf course was in great shape with stunning views, ideal way to spend the day. Afterwards we were straight into the pub for some of the best pints of Guinness we’ve had in a while. The buzz was brilliant and the accommodation was just a stroll away it couldn’t have been handier. Top spot for a lads trip. We’ll be back next season!

We had the most amazing time at Carlingford Escapes! The accommodation was fab with loads of space, spotless, and right in the middle of everything. We picked an activity that suited everyone (from aunties to bridesmaids!) and it was such good fun without being too wild. The night ended with disco lights, cocktails, and some very questionable dance moves!

We kicked off the weekend with some exhilarating kayaking and a hilarious round of bubble football, which had us all in stitches! Our accommodation was just a stone’s throw from the action. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. we hit the bustling bars in the town. The atmosphere was electric! Each bar had its own vibe, but we especially loved the live music at Taaffe's Castle. Highly recommend for anyone planning a stag do!
