Reviewed Jul 23, 2024The central location is perfect for exploring Carlingford. Parking is directly in front of the property. The rooms are beautifully decorated with every comfort provided. We brought our dog along and found the whole experience easy and completely stress-free. We hope to stay at The Retreat again in the near future. Look forward to it. Excellent.
