  This was a beautiful secluded place to stay with stunning views all around.

  The cottage was well presented kitchen, bathroom, beds were all very clean. Had everything you'd need and all worked well. The stove was great as it was cool inside at night. We didn't find the roadway up to the cottage too bad, just the last stretch approaching the house was loose gravel track. On the negative side I didn't find the mattresses in the cottage with green door that comfortable. I do suffer with back problems sometimes. The big bed in the end room was not level and was very hard and springy. Had sore back next morning. Moved to the other room and the mattress was a bit better but not great. This might not bother some. If you are bringing pets be careful on the lanes. I had 2 dogs. One of mine got really spooked by a big tractor and got out of his collar as I was holding him at side of road. He nearly went under it but I managed to grab him by the neck. Got a terrible fright. Would have been so much easier if farmer had just stopped for a few seconds and let me walk past but he just kept coming I had to yell for him to stop. The yard is fenced well but there is no gate to the lane, I kept my lurcher on lead all the time as she would easily jump the fence and there are livestock nearby. So many lovely places to visit nearby here, kilbroney park and Mourne mountains were amazing. Lovely restaurants and bars in rostervor. The rostervor inn had lovely food. Everyone was so friendly as well. Hope to get back here again sometime.

  The Irish weather wasn't perfect, but the Irish cottage was.

  It was bliss sitting in front of the cosy wood stove, eating fish and chips from Sharkey's of Warrenpoint, and listening to the rain pelting down outside. Very atmospheric. The road up to the cottage was long and sometimes rocky, but it was worth it for the peace and isolation and the stunning scenery - mountains on three sides and a view out towards Carlingford Lough. At night the twinkling lights were gorgeous. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean (much appreciated in these Covid times) comfortable and the owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to make sure it is supplied with everything you could need and want. A lot of attention has been paid to the layout of the cottage and I liked the way the living area is well separated from the sleeping area. It's deceptively spacious for such an old building, with nice roomy bathrooms. There are plenty of radiators as well, which along with the stove, I imagine would make the cottage warm in winter. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others and definitely stay there again myself. Thanks to Yvonne and Eammon for providing such a lovely retreat and in such a lovely part of Northern Ireland. Unfortunately the booking experience with Sykes was a bit of a shambles and not very encouraging with regard to using them again.

  We feel the listing doesn't do justice to the actual property as it is far beyond what we expected.

  The overall atmosphere provided us with a place to relax at the end of each day of our trip, which is a tremendous mental boost for the next day. The hot tub and surroundings calm one's body and mind, tlly was the best home away from home we could ask for. The property itself is far larger than the photos would have you assume, with well-separated areas that are all connecher so families have plenty of space to themselves under one roof. We never found ourselves feeling anything was lacking inside the home,lly is fully fitted with all the appliances and amenities, even those we didn't expect to find. The immediate area may be farmland, but the local town is less than 10 minutes drive, with just over 35 minutes to reach either Belfast City or the Coastal Area so it is far out enough to enjoy some tranquillity but still close enough to go take in some of the gorgeous sights of Northern Ireland. The owner is one of the friendliest gentlemen you could meet and only added to our enjoyment of the home. The next time we are visiting Northern Ireland again, we would be sure to check on the availability of this home again since the only thing we regretted about this trip was not staying for longer. All the best to the owner for the wonderful experience and memories!

  This was a last-minute booking, and we couldn't have been more pleased!

  The location and views were absolutely stunning. The cottage is beautifully laid out and finished to a high standard, with a thoughtful touch that makes it incredibly child-friendly. A special shoutout to the owners for providing Lego, which was a hit with our youngest (who usually isn’t keen on holidays) right through to the teens! The kitchen was the heart of our stay – a great space for family breakfasts and dinners that made the holiday truly memorable. There are plenty of places within walking distance to explore, including a nearby playpark that you can see from the garden or the house, which was a bonus for us with kids. The house was warm, comfortable, and perfect for a family or friends' getaway. If you're up for a short drive, the National Trust properties Mount Stewart and Castle Ward are both well worth a visit. We particularly enjoyed the option of taking a short ferry ride across from Portaferry to Castle Ward, adding a little adventure to the day. There are also plenty of shops, parks, and sandy beaches close by, as well as great dining options within walking distance. And don’t miss a quick tour of The Moet! Overall, an excellent stay in every way.

  Comfortable and well appointed cottage.

  The owner, Eamonn, was very helpful and hospitable throughout our stay. The cottage is nearer to Killowen than Rostrevor and is situated 1.7miles along a single track road (Kilfeaghan Road) from the main A2 road, care is needed with oncoming traffic when driving along Kilfeaghan Road as there are limited passing places. The last section of the road from the picnic area is like a farm track and one has to drive carefully in order not to ground your vehicle. The cottage is sited in a lovely peaceful and quiet setting, with splendid views of Carlingford Lough in the distance. Although Wifi is provided at the cottage, we were unable to get any mobile phone signal (Vodafone) until we were near The Killowen Distillery which is situated approximately a mile from the cottage back down the single track road towards the A2.
