Meet The Hosts
We're Sean and Niall, your hosts, and we can't wait for you to experience this special place.
Sean
I’m a businessman by day, and the CEO of several companies. I am passionate about providing a first-class service, and pride myself on ensuring that my clients are happy. My Airbnb properties are no different; I will always provide my guests with an experience they will never forget. Having grown up in the area, this part of Ireland is so incredibly special to me, and I sincerely hope that you fall in love with the mountains, the hills and Carlingford Lough, and the peace and serenity they bring.
Niall
After years working in construction and hospitality across America, building high-rises so tall I once watched a helicopter fly beneath me, I brought home all the values and lessons I learned abroad. I've travelled extensively through Mexico, Canada, and Europe, but nothing compares to home. That's why I returned to Ireland to design and build this property alongside Sean, with every detail thoughtfully crafted by us both, to provide you with a truly special experience.
If there's anything you need during your stay, please don't hesitate to get in touch. For now, please read the enclosed information, where you'll find everything you need to know about your home away from home, as well as plenty of recommendations for places to go and things to do. We leave you with the words of an ancient Celtic prayer, and we hope you'll visit again soon.
"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home, and may the hand of a friend always be near."
Take care,
