Perfect!

We were pleasantly surprised by the location and how well appointed the home was! We had a quick stay but it was a great stop and resting location. We walked to dinner at Ferguson’s and had a few pints while caring the Open with the locals. Very friendly and safe spot. Ciara, our host, was especially helpful and kind.

Right by the sea

Lovely cottage with everything you need. Stand out feature though is being within 50ft of a sheltered and sandy beach. Local pubs and restaurants served good food. A special call out to the Carlingford brewery

Stunning Views, Beautiful Home

This is a really beautiful home --even nicer than the pictures. The views are absolutely stunning. The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed. There are some restaurants within a short drive and one that can be walked to --as well as a place to grab coffee, pastries, etc. Ciara was very helpful providing some recommendations. I very highly recommend this home.

An amazing location, spectacular sea views, sunrise from the terrace, sunset from the front balcony. The accommodation is extremely well planned, comfortable and relaxing. The Pilot Station is a great place to explore the local area, including fabulous restaurants close by.

Beautiful oasis on water

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ciara's beautiful home. The pictures don't fully capture the beauty of the home and the area. It is magnificent and Ciara is awesome. She communicated quickly with us regarding check in and check out. We look forward to staying at this property in the future and have recommended it to many others.

Fabulous Stay!

Our third year at The Pilot Station and once again, it was a wonderful holiday.With the best views for sunrise and sunsets (particularly the sunset), The Pilot Station is a great place to set up base and explore the stunning area; we had a truly relaxing and enjoyable two weeks. The scenery is spectacular and the people are very friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of restaurants in the area for brunches, lunches and evening meals, (in no particular order, but would recommend all of them); Strandfield, Carlingford Brewery, Fitzpatricks, Kingfisher Bistro, Cathedral, Jocelyn's, Square, The Clermont, The Brake, Yellow Heifer. Our host, Ciara, is excellent, always helpful and responds very quickly if you have a query.We are very much looking forward to our next visit.
