Carrick Cottage Cafe

Lovely to have Mr Ivan Little, Journalist, Actor and Author visit Carrick Cottage Cafe today along with his beautiful partner. I‚Äôm loving ūüíē the early evening views aswell. Thanks Rita for taking a lovely photo.

Carrick Cottage Cafe will be operating its usual opening hours of Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the month of December. We will also be open Thursday 20th and Thursday 27th December as additional days. Why now come and visit our beautifully decorated cafe and see all the gorgeous lights we have surrounding the cafe for Santa’s visit this year.

Pleased to announce Carrick Cottage Cafe will be stocking calendars from tomorrow. ūüĎć

It was an absolute pleasure to have Mr Ian Harvey, Feature Writer for Farm Week visit Carrick Cottage today. We were lucky to have Ian select Carrick Cottage as a success story diversifying from a rural Irish home to a commercial business. He also visited our newly opened Carrick Lodge Self Catering Accommation and Carrick Lodge Glamping Pods aswell as the family farm all run by the Harrison Family. It was great to have some locals visit the cafe and share stories with Mr Harvey. Such a true gentleman with soo many interesting and heartwarming experiences to share. Thank you soo much for choosing Carrick Cottage for your feature and we look forward to seeing the piece in Farm Week, Thursday week. Rachael

Just to clarify Carrick Cottage Cafe and Carrick Lodge Glamping Pods are one business and are entirely separate from Carrick Little Glamping. Just to sort out any confusion. Cheers Rachael

What an amazing place set upon the mountain of mourne! Lovely cosy, homely, warm little cottage with the friendliest of staff. Food is amazing. Setting & surrounding are beautiful with amazing views. We loved it. Thank you xx

Ps: keep the turf burning! Open fire was the best xx

What a lovely place. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea. It had it all and what lovely staff. I will be visiting again

What a little gem!! Food, coffee and service all 1st class! Cannot wait to go back!!

We have been staying close by for the last week & have visited the cafe 4 times. It's a delight, great coffee & cheesecake/ lemon meringue & soups. We brought friends on two occasions & they loved it! Rachel & crew are great hosts

We had planned to climb Binion but stopped off at Carrick Cottage first which was packed so we retreated to the shed at the side which had a lovely cosy fire going and very nicely decked out w the best views! We were invited inside when table became available but we were happy to stay in shed.we had a light lunch which was perfect..hit the spot. The owner came by and had a lovely informative chat w us while she checked on everything. They were set up for a child party and were awaiting the group's return...what a novel idea!! By time we dragged ourselves away the rain was on so we abandoned Binion ...but will dev be back to complete unfinished business!

Twice in one weekend what more can I say. From the great chat and history lesson washed down with great Americanos and Poached Eggs On wheaten on Friday. Then more breakfast for a great start to the hills followed by amazing homemade Sweet Potato and Carrot soup steaming hot with fab Wheaten just the thing after 16km in the rain. Everyone will have their own wee experience here but if you’d like to step back in time and warm your hands and heart by the fire then you simply need to call in.

See you next weekend when Johnny’s Walkers return.

This place makes your mountain trip even better- especially if you go with kids. This place is the perfect top of the adventure! Lovely cosy coffee shop with lovely people inside!

This place is the best. Went today with our toddler and 7 month old and felt so welcome. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is the best homemade food you can get and the views are amazing. We can't wait to go back! ÔŅĹ

This place is a must visit!

This is the most charming place in Ireland. When I opened the door, it felt like I was stepping into a fairy world, magical charming little Irish fairy cottage.

The staff made me feel so comfortable despite my 5 hours stay (waiting for my daughter to come back from hiking), most visitors must have felt as comfortable because everyone was chatting to everyone, it is not only a cafe, it is a place where people come together and enjoy the best views and hospitality that Ireland has to offer.

Did I mention the lovely home made food and coffee?! Worth every penny and more

This is the best place in the world!! We love it! Very friendly staff, amazin views an some class treats!!

Such a beautiful spot, we just loved it! We'll definitely be back. ÔŅĹ

Properly brewed tea in a tea pot that pours and a decent sized mug, lovely scone with jam and cream! Cosy tables inside and a choice of tables outside covered or open with a fabulous view of the mournes on one side and the Irish Sea on the other...

One of the sweetest places ever seen! Great food and drinks, absolutely gorgeous people.

Once again had a lovely visit to the cafe today ..nothing a bother to the staff and they always have time for a chat and a story! A little slice of heaven!

Oh what a beautiful wee place with loads of charactor...i called yesterday at 5.30 pmwith my daughter an mum and dad we all loved the traybakes and desserts coffees too def will be back...everyone please call in and sample u will not be disapointed( views spectacular)ūüėäūüźĄūüćįūüć©ūü殂ėēūüíóūü ĎćūüĎĆ

Myself and my son had lunch here today. Food was great, staff very friendly and even though it was very busy today they were able to cope. Definitely would recommend this quaint Cafe.

Lovey quaint cottage in the Mournes. Stunning views & tasty food. Coffee & lemon meringue beautiful. We love going for a drive round the Mournes , so it is a bonus to have a good cafe too.

Lovely wee spot and such beautiful views as far as the eye can see. Great staff and so friendly. Food mmmm

Lovely afternoon tea today in the sun, thank you

Loved it

Love love love this place! The staff and owner are such lovely people . I landed in on them a few weeks ago and it was on a Monday . I hadn't realised it was one of the days they were closed and they were decorating. They invited us to stay as I had brought my Canadian family and told them so much about this cafe. They set us up a beautiful lunch and after a few more people arrived how could they say no to them ūüėÜ. I felt guilty and they just took it all in their stride and it was service with a smile (and a joke or two). It really was the highlight of the week for my visitors. The views, quality of food and friendly service all make for a perfect experience. Will be back again very soon!

Little gem this place, step back in time with the fires"roarin" as the man says and pavlova/scones made the way they should be, great fresh coffee and the best welcome. well worth a visit.

Just had lunch in this little hidden gem. Food was fantastic staff were very attentive and the view is something else. If yous havnt already been it is well worth a visit! I for 1 will definitely b back!

Just back from the santa experience kids really loved it sleigh ride and santa was there favourite mummy and daddy love the coffee an tray bakes by the open fire .

Had an amazing Sunday morning a Carrick Cottage. The snow made it even more magical. Beautiful place with breathtaking view. Hospitality was top class with peat fire lit and Breakfast was top class. Thanks from the eight of us, we will 100% be back ÔŅĹ

Great lunch

Great for a wee rest after a hard days hiking..if you want 5 star restaurant then this place is not for you..but if you like old irish cottage charm and friendly staff serving good simple food ..then you will love it..

Fab food & hosted by fab family! Breakfast was amazing just raging I didn't get bk from mountains on time & missed the apple pie!!
