Super spot by the water and an excellent host
Booked last minute for a weekend with my family. Communication with Ciara was grat from the outset. Ciara replied to some non-house related topics also. The house was superb. Perched pretty much at the end of the harbour wall. Amazing view from every window. Balconies front and back offer shelter from whatever way the wind decides to blow. The inside was spotless, uncluttered and really nicely finished. Ciara had some really nice touches in the house for us on arrival too. Communication was great and timely all the way through to checkout. Great base for exploring Carlingford, Slieve Gullion and the Mourne's. Highly recommend. We'd stay again.

Fabulous 2 night mini break at the Pilot Station
Loved this property and the location - we had a great time. Super clean, warm and everything you needed for a cosy stay. We enjoyed the views so much and the walks - a place for any kind of weather really. Ciara was a great host - warm and very helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Had a fantastic stay here at the Pilot Station. Beautiful property in a great location. Views were second to none. Communication with Ciara was so easy and nothing was too much trouble for her. First time staying here hopefully not the last. 10 out of 10!

Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at!
Seriously this place is perfection. It’s so much better than the pictures. The host Ciara was responsive and so nice! The views cannot be beat and it just has this relaxing vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. Very close to Carlingford and Dundalk but feels very private and unique. Worth every penny!

Great Location
This property could get 10 stars if the ratings went that high. There are water views out of ever window. Two second floor decks. Bedrooms are on the first floor so no lugging luggage to the second floor. Will stay here again next time we are in the area.

Very clean, very comfortable. Great place to enjoy the Irish coastline. Be prepared for lots of swimmers and campers on warm weekends. Ciara’s fresh flowers, welcoming gifts and personal attention were greatly appreciated. You can’t go wrong with this property!

Little slice of heaven in Carlingford
I could go on for days with only good things to say about the Pilot House and Ciara as a hostess. She was incredibly responsive leading up to our delayed check in (our fault) and remained flexible, staying patient with us along the way. When we finally arrived, there was wine and a basket of treats, coffee and teas to welcome us…exactly what we needed after a long day. The location is perfect; right on the water and in a quiet neighborhood where everyone you pass on the street is pleasant and welcoming. The view of the Irish Sea is spectacular the house is set up in a way to maximize the viewing experience. The interior is incredibly clean and has all the amenities you could want. The beds were super comfortable and we had some of the best sleep on our trip during this stretch. We traveled around all of Ireland over a 10 day stretch and our only regret is that we didn’t spend more time at The Pilot House. We enjoyed our stay immensely and are already talking about when we should return. Book The Pilot House, you’ll be glad you did.
