About this property
A Cosy Place in the Heart of the Mournes
Relax and unwind in our cosy space in the heart of the Mournes.
We are at the foot of the Ulster way, with the track to the Mourne mountains in one direction and Tollymore forest in the other a stroll is always sanctioned! Then come back and fall asleep In front of the log burner.
Meelmore lodge coffee shop is a 10 minute walk
Newcastle is 10 minute drive
Belfast is a 1hr drive, or 1hr bus journey from Newcastle
You really are in the heart of the mountains here!
Please note that we will provide £4 a day for electricity (this is usually more than enough) however if you exceed this then we ask you to pay the extra. We have this cap as there are electric heaters in the property that can potentially use a lot of electricity, but there is a log burner so these heaters are not typically necessary. We will provide the first bag of logs for free then there is a charge after that.
There is no garden with the property, but you walk out of our driveway and turn right straight into Tollymore forest 🌳 for multiple walks - and turn left straight into the Mourne mountains!

About the host
Hosted by Luka Hallissey
I grew up in the Mourne mountains walking, rock climbing and exploring, i love hosting to be able to share with other the beauty of the mountains and the forest
What makes this property unique
We are situated right between the Mourne mountains and Tollymore forest park. We are only 10 minutes from Newcastle and some gorgeous beaches too, so there really is something for everyone here
