Second visit to Carlingford Marina to stay at Motorhome Aire. First visit was very enjoyable hence our second. Unfortunately this time was disappointing. We stayed Thursday &Friday night. First night there were just over 20 Motorhomes but second night we counted 34 so was very busy. At 10 euros a night this place should be quite a bit better. For example the parking spaces should be marked out clearly for Motorhome use only as we had cars squeezing in tight to us. Cars were also parked during daytime all over the area which was supposed to be Motorhome parking. It is a very nice spot with good walks & cycling and a short walk into Carlingford town where there is a good choice of good places to eat. On our first visit we had dinner in the Indian restaurant onsite at the Marina but unfortunately it has closed down not reopening after the lockdown. On our second night we ate in the cafe/bar at the Marina very poor we could not recommend it at all. The food was awful. It is a nice setting but having to eat before you can have a drink during present restrictions better just avoid altogether and head into Carlingford town. Good spot for Motorhomes but time a little effort was made to make it an excellent Motorhome Aire.

A good stopping off point at the top of the east coast. Unless you have a good motor make sure to get past Greenore before the ebb tide starts flowing. Berths are good value for a yacht and also ashore for a camper van. Expect a warm welcome in Rabelo Bistro when you get ashore. The village is a short walk, but make sure to cross the main road and go by the old road into the town.

The apartments were so spacious for 3 of us. Views were fabulous & everything we needed there for our stay (we tend to bring more than enough supplies with us wherever we go) Nathan in the Rocksalt bar & restaurant literally could not have done more to make us feel welcome. Compliments to the chef, another lovely guy, who made fabulous food. All the staff were so friendly. We will definitely be back, thanks to all

Booked, confirmation received, paid in full. I had packed for our two night stay and was already travelling down to the property. I got an email from booking.com to say the booking was cancelled by the host. I was refunded quickly but not the full amount due to “changes” in the exchange rate. They had the cheek to refer me to my bank and offered alternative accommodation 10 miles away! I will never trust these apartments or Booking.com again. Their booking confirmation is not worth the paper it’s written on.

Apartments are OK views are amazing. Bar/restaurant was nice inside with amazing views over looking the marina and lough. The bar/restaurant did a basic menu not really much to chose from. It closed at 5 o'clock but other I've enjoyed my stay.... float your boat self drive boats was the highlight of my trip the owners (can't remember names) were lovely people and the trip out into the open sea was a blast

I’ve no idea how you are supposed to book this marina … no one answers the phone no one returning e mails. Place is a total shambles the break water is held together by two lorry ratchet straps couple of the pontoons and barely afloat. Health abs safety obviously miss this place! Looks decidedly like the Grant was given to someone to build a marine who didn’t make much effort! Worst I’ve been in ever!

Fantastic service from booking to checkout. Apartment was spotlessly clean, with everything that you need for a great staycation. Thank you Jonathan and all the team, nothing was too much trouble. Rabelos winebar and restaurant onsite was just as good and the staff just welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Carlingford Marina have installed a pay car park at the start of the Greenway to extract a few Euros from the walkers whose taxes paid for the Greenway. Typical of the old rip off Ireland mentality

The marina has started taking in campervans for €10 a night . It overlooks carlingford Lough so it has a beautiful view to awaken to every morning . It has facilities such as toilets , hot showers , helpful staff and a fantastic Indian restaurant on site . It is a five minute walk to the town and has the greenway walkway starting point on site . Well worth a stay.

Many years ago I visited Omaha Beach in the North of France with some pals at the end of a Horse riding Holiday there and visited this place of Historical importance The Concrete barges which assisted in the landings on D-Day there, are there as matter of Historical Importance and have been well maintained . How ever the need for similar Concrete Barges In Carlingford escapes me when the only landings there apart from sailing boats have been done by anglers in search of the catch of the day. If ever the need to undo something which ruins a view its the removal of these Concrete Boulders which were placed by the owner of the marina (I believe) as part of the breakwater which forms part of the Marina. TO say they are an stye in a Beautiful Vista is an understatement please view a picture below. The local tourist groups and AN Board Failte have spent a lot of money on preparing the Greenway Path for walkers but the abomination of the sea wall takes away from the entire vista.
