The Auld Shack

Self Catering Accommodation in Omeath 

Nestled in the scenic Cooley Mountains on Ireland's Ancient East, this historic four-bedroom Céilí House dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Once a traditional Irish dancing hall, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a cosy retreat, showcasing original stonework, inviting indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and a beautiful garden.
Blending the charm of original features with modern renovations, this is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect after a day of exploration. 

The house features three comfortable double bedrooms and one single bedroom, providing ample space for families or groups. The full sitting room includes a fireplace, TV, and WiFi, and can accommodate two additional guests for sleeping if needed—just let us know in advance. A fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to cook and enjoy meals together, while two bathrooms ensure convenience: one with a bath, shower, and toilet, and the other with a shower and toilet. Additional amenities include a mud room with an extra toilet, washing machine, and tumble dryer—perfect for extended stays or after outdoor adventures.

Centrally located between two capital cities, you’re just an hour from both Dublin and Belfast—ideal for day trips or onward travel. Whether you’re drawn by history, nature, or simply seeking a peaceful escape with a story to tell, this mountain haven offers an unforgettable stay steeped in tradition, beauty, and Irish charm.
