The Carnbeg Hotel  

Set on 100 acres of lush parkland just outside Dundalk in County Louth — a quick turn off the M1 (Jct 18) and roughly 40 minutes from both Dublin and Belfast. Close to the Cooley Peninsula, Carlingford, Tayto Park, Funtasia and local racing stadiums, this spa hotel makes a great base for families, couples and business travelers.

Newly refurbished, the hotel has 84 bedrooms and suites all with panoramic parkland views and in-room TVs. Sonas Spa and the Carnbeg Leisure Club bring contemporary treatments, a dedicated team and a 20m pool. Expect modern, relaxed interiors and multilingual staff who keep stays smooth.

Leisure highlights include a 20m indoor pool, spa tub, sauna, steam bath, massage rooms and a fitness center — perfect for steam-away mornings and post-workout dips. There’s also a BBQ area, elevator access, on-site parking and high-speed Wi‑Fi throughout the property.

Four flexible meeting and event spaces plus a conference hall suit corporate and private events. The hotel offers high-speed internet, tour/ticket assistance, wedding services and convenient parking for groups.

On-site dining includes the Slieve Gullion restaurant and a bar, with menus focused on locally sourced food and regional flavors for a taste of County Louth.
