The unique aspect of Ghan House is that you can have exclusive use of the whole house & gardens ~ which means, no other guests apart from your own! We have beautiful views of Slieve Foy, the Mountains of Mourne & Carlingford Lough - from the gardens, all the public rooms & bedrooms. In addition we have 8 ft high stone walls enclosing the gardens, adding to the privacy & uniqueness.

Eco economy - Most of the bedrooms at Ghan House - their heating & hotwater is powered by an air source heat pump. The water from the roofs of the main house all feed into the pond. Kitchen waste is utilised to make compost, plastic, paper, card & glass are all recycyled as is kitchen oil. The gas used for cooking & in the laundry for drying is BioLPG - which is 100% renewable - we pay more for it, but we think it's worth it! There are many other green commitments we are implementing - see https://www.ghanhouse.com/clean-energy-initiative/ for further details.
To arrange a "show around" of this wedding venue, please phone or email us and Paul, Orla or Sarah will get back to you within 24 hours.

From Paul, owner of Ghan House who was always so open and considerate, and manager Sarah, who was extraordinary in her grasp of details, estimating with unerring accuracy what we would need, and budgeting advice with obvious experience of people's menu choices at times of the year and all the staff for their professionalism, we are so grateful.
Our special day was indeed special and so much more! The food served to our guests was without fail exceptional. Everyone was very happy.
The surroundings and attention to detail, and presentation of Ghan House was superb.
Our Harpist, Mongolian Morin Khuur musician (who were inspired to play duets together they enjoyed their surroundings so much), DJ, photographer and Videographer were also very happy to be involved with our special day at Ghan House.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for helping in making so special our special day. Best wishes for the future, Love Chimge and Gerry xx

We personally had a great day celebrating our wedding surrounded by friends and family and Ghan House played an integral role in this. Everyone seemed to be having a great day enjoying the celebration either walking in the lovely walled gardens/grounds or lounging and relaxing in the beautiful venue itself.. The weather only added to the picture perfect memory.
Definitely a beautiful wedding venue, highly recommended.
