You’ll have the run of the place, so you can live as you usually do, but in your new surroundings.

Tollymore Forest Park, 5mins drive caters for many outdoor activities including walking, horse riding and orienteering & has 4 waymarked trails of varying lengths. It also boasts panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and sea. It was also featured in the first episode of series one of Game of Thrones!!
Silent Valley and Ben Crom Reservoirs are a beautiful, inexpensive day out in the open fresh air and away from the crowds. Great cafe and good selection of walks both short and some for the more experienced.
Down Cathedral is a Church of Ireland cathedral in Downpatrick. It stands on the site of a Benedictine Monastery, built in 1183. Saint Patrick's remains are buried in the graveyard.

Discover stunning views, and the beauty of the landscape on a bike. There are many cycle routes for all abilities and tours available in the area.

September break

Lovely place to stay. As an elderly person (70) with mobility problems the bed was too low but that was my problem not yours! Bathroom was great. The kitchen had everything we needed. The facilities were super. We wondered why the family always blocked the entrance in the evening. We congratulate you on the property. You deserve credit. We hope to be back! We will recommend to our friends. Great website! We’ve had a great stay. Thank you. Jennifer Campbell.

A real gem of a stay!

Was working close by with long unsociable hrs which didn't let me see much of the area But my host and the accommodation more than made up for that 😁😁 My only grumble is the vrdo webb site which I have to say I did find it not very user friendly Espically when trying to contact host Espically when out of nvormal working hrs. Host and accommodation hight recommended 👍👍👍👍

About the host

Hosted by The Owner/Property Manager

My partner Sophie & I have travelled to over 33 countries on 6 continents. From the Killing Fields of Cambodia to lining up to meet the Sultan of Brunei, trekking for 20 days in the magnificent Himalayas & exploring India by train (twice!) are just a few personal highlights.
We have now 2 beautiful daughters (9 & 11 years old) which will only change how we travel not stop us travelling. We still have so many beautiful places yet to explore!
We hope our travelling experiences reflect in how we have set up & how we run our little place.

Why they chose this property

Getting Around

The bus station is a 20min minute walk with links to Belfast, Dublin and elsewhere.
The Mourne Rambler Bus Service circles the Mourne Mountains in the summer months usually between the start of May and end of August.

Another great way to discover the Mournes is the Mournes Shuttle Bus Service. It can pick you up at your desired car park and take you out to the start point of your route so you can walk back to the car, meaning you will no longer be restricted to the circular routes and can explore many of the fantastic linear ones in the area also.
The shuttle service runs throughout the whole year, every weekend and can be requested during the week also. In the summer months of July and August the service will be available 7 days a week.
And Peter, the proprietor is a fountain of knowledge of the area!
