Title: Carrick Little Carpark / Head Road Accommodation
Post by: RedLeader on February 21, 2011
Is there accommodation of some sort up the lane from Carrick Little car park or around the Head Road? There's a big brown sign there now advertising something but I can't remember for the life of me what.

It's been a while since I've been there but to my best recollection there was a sign advertising conferencing facilities and accomodation. That's at the house up the lane on the left. The one one with loads of diggers and the high pitched barking Doberman.

I think it's something "house/manor" but i do know you can rent out the wee cottage just before the house with the diggers , not much use to you I guess


As for the yappy Doberman I have not seen or heard it the last couple of times I have went past

I met the yappy Doberman two weeks ago whilst heading to Cove Cave.  I'm assuming its still just a pup given its relatively small size and high pitched bark... a fully grown Doberman might make the trip from Carrick Little a bit more interesting in future :o

That sounds like it but I think its a bitch that's why it's not of such a big stature

Wise move pointing out that its likely to be female based on its smaller size rather than the constant yapping ;D

I'll get my coat...
