Beautiful place to stay in a fantastic spot

Absolute Gem

This is an absolutely beautiful property in a gorgeous spot. It's really comfortable and well equipped with views that are to die for from every window. We love swimming and could literally walk out the front door for a dip. There are a couple of great restaurants a short drive away andvthe kitchen is well equipped for nights in.

Great place to stay, always

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.

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!

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.

What a beautiful place

This was a really lovely place with gorgeous views. The main room is upstairs so you can sit and enjoy the peaceful sea views that is on both sides of the house. There are 2 balconies to sit on. The rooms are beautiful. We wish we could have stayed longer - and the weather would have cooperated a bit more so we could enjoy the beach on the doorstep for more time. Our host was helpful and very responsive with any queries.

Stunning property

Beautiful clean house in a great location. Very comfortable - we felt right at home. Ciara was also very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. It got a little bit loud and busy along the pier at night but that's to be expected with such a stunning location. Highly recommend!

Beautiful coastal home

I stayed with a group of friends. The house is in a beautiful location on the coast. Beside a pier where you can go for a swim and 5 minute walk to Fergusons Bar which had a lovely atmosphere and great food. The home itself is beautiful. Felt like staying in a boutique hotel and Ciara was very accommodating. Quck to respond to messages, very friendly and advised on local place to eat. 10/10 We will definitely be back!

The Perfect Getaway

What can I say about this amazing property. Firstly the host Ciara was very welcoming and helpful. The Pilot Station is just superb. The finish and detail that has been achieved inside is worthy of a boutique hotel. The high quality inside is not only comfy but also has every mod con that you need. The views from every room in the property are just magical. Every window is like an ever changing work of art! I could not recommend The Pilot Station enough

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.
