Rose was an absolute gem and so sweet. I asked her for a couple glasses for water and she offered tea. I said yes and she brought up delicious tea and the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. The owner was kind and made a delicious breakfast that was laid out beautifully.

The staff were exceptionally helpful, with advice (local taxi's who were very reliable & fair priced)
Wilst preparing for an event a 'sticky' garment cleaner was required; again reception were able to help. I cannot fault the staff for their help & advice. A real credit to the hotel.

Myself and my daughter had a very relaxing stay. We particularly enjoyed the spa treatment called ‘the pick n mix’. The lady who gave us Indian head massages and leg and foot massages was outstanding. The food in the restaurant was fabulous with beautiful views surrounding the dining area. The staff were so helpful and friendly. It is a very welcoming hotel. Our only minor disappointment was the big, hard pillows. I didn’t sleep very well. In saying that, we would come back !

It’s a very rural area and Carrickmacross village has a small Main Street but with lots of little shops, cafes and pubs.
Also close to Dundalk and larger shopping areas and attractions.
Lots of places to go walking and cycling or just sit back and relax.
the location worked well for us and this was one of the only hotels available (now I know why). I was not expecting much and even at that this was below my expectations. I will say that the breakfast was surprisingly good and fresh - although we finished our entire meal with no coffee because we couldn't get any staff to wait on us. I even got up and approached people to ask someone to bring coffee to our table but they were too busy trying to take care of other things to deliver anything before we were finished eating.
We had a very pleasant stay at Rock House. The beds are on par with any high end hotel in terms of comfort, it’s calm, clean and quiet and just a short but nice walk from Carrick town centre. The owners were absolutely great, friendly and welcoming, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The breakfast was amazing too! I will definitely stay here again any time I’m visiting the area.
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was so clean, bright and most of all-comfortable. The reception staff were very welcoming. Breakfast was so nice, although there was no option to self serve for the likes of water/orange juice/tea or pastries etc and only one member of staff on who seemed busy.
My husband and I have stayed at this hotel many times and as always we were very pleased with our stay. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating. The hotel is within walking distance to everything in the town if you are healthy.
The staff were so lovely and the rooms very very clean and spacious. The hotel itself was lovely and the grounds were beautiful especially in the evening if the weather was nice you could sit outside while the sun set. Beautiful views.
Very friendly staff, all very helpful. Requested an early check in and rooms were ready on arrival. Lovely little city and food in hotel bar was really nice. Definitely will be staying here again on my next trip to Carrickmacross
Beautiful hotel, very friendly staff, great food, nice bar atmosphere and lovely reception area. Easy to find, and (for the most part!) quiet and secluded.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with family and will definitely be back.
Lovely country house hotel. Room spacious but perhaps decor just a little tired. Staff lovely, couldn’t do enough for you so this more than made up for any ‘tired’ decor! Wonderful stay and will return.
Breakfast, staff everything was above and beyond my expectations. Ireland will always be a wonderful place to me, I left it 50 years ago to see the world and I still call it home.
Pauline was a fantastic host. The room was perfect and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. It's just a short walk to the centre of Carrickmacross.
We dined in the hotel throughout our mini break and found the food to be of a high quality and delicious.
All the staff were friendly and very helpful.
