We stayed in one of the courtyard rooms for 1 night. The room was beautiful and very quiet. It was a short walk to the main hotel for dinner and breakfast. Both dinner and breakfast were very good and staff were lovely and very helpful. Check in and check out was very easy also. The grounds were lovely to walk around too.

Perfect apartment in a beautiful historic village. We chose it as it's pet-friendly and close to Dundalk.....we had a theatre visit booked to see Playboy of the Western World so for anyone interested in that The Village Rooms is your best bet :)

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.
The food for the evening was exceptional
The bed was very comfortable, and no noise from bar
The location of the hotel was very rural and we could sit outside in the sun with a drink. Lovely.
The decor in the hotel was very nice. Really pleasant
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.
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 small hotel/pub/restaurant near the village of Carrickmacross. Very friendly staff - could not do enough for us. Lovely breakfast and dinner menu excellent too. Only an hours drive to Dublin airport on good roads.
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.
The staff were so lovely, from reception to the lunch terrace staff , to Caoimhe and her colleagues in the restaurant , friendly professional service , what Irish hotels are known for-excellent!
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.
Friendly staff especially Clare at reception, a wealth of information. Just all round pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommend staying at The Shirley Arms Hotel.
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.
