  The cottage is beautifully situated on the side of a mountain.

  The roads are good and the cottage is just a short distance from the A1 to Dublin. A huge Eurospar is between it and the cottage and is so well stocked with both healthy food and cream buns! There are many excellent places to eat, ranging in price but good food and service without exception. The cottage is beside Killeavy Old Churches, an interesting ancient monument resting quietly under the most beautiful Beech trees. The churchyard is filed with so many naturally occurring wild flowers and the views through the trees are stunning. Behind the cottage there is a field which is well managed but free for wild flowers to grow. It is well populated with Butterflies, Bees and all sorts of buzzing life. The air is filled with bird song. The cottage was warm to enter. Everything clean and neat and an excellent comfortable lounge. Our host was welcoming, friendly and helpful.

  This is the most beautiful cottage in the mountains.

  Malachy and his wife and kids are super kind people. My sat nav didn't take me to the right place and Malachy came and got me. If this happens to you the cottage is just one minute away over the top of the hill and on the left hand side beside Killeavy graveyard. I got to meet the family again as the field in front was being harvested by the family for hay and my three year old was invited up to play with the kids. He had so much fun he was sad to see everyone leave. I got to put my feet up outside, read my book and watch the fun. Slieve Gullion forest park is at the bottom of the road and also on the right you will pass Killeavy castle, were their is lovely walks. The walk up to the white cross is next door to the cottage and it doesn't take long. The views are so beautiful. I will be back to this place again. Thank you!!!

  We’ve just returned from the most wonderful stay at this holiday cottage in Northern Ireland, and to be honest, we almost don’t want to write a review because it’s such a hidden gem!

  But here goes. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the incredibly friendly host, who made us feel right at home. It’s clear they take great pride in their property, and it’s reflected in every detail. The cottage itself is warm, cosy, and beautifully decorated, with just the right balance of modern comfort and rustic charm. The living room, with its inviting fireplace, was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. And the view—wow. Waking up to the sound of the sea and watching the waves roll in from the windows was absolutely magical. We spent hours just gazing out over the water, feeling totally at peace. We almost want to keep this little place to ourselves, but we know it deserves to be shared. So, if you're lucky enough to book it, enjoy it as much as we did!

  From the moment Eileen met us at the door with the keys we felt right at home here.

  Lovely house, cozily furnished and so comfortable, with fantastic views of the beach from the picture window in the living room. Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne is practically across the street, and we loved having such easy access to its beautiful grounds and well maintained walking paths. The house is just a few miles from some of the most spectacular stops on the Causeway Coastal Route (Dunluce Castle, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge), and we had a great time exploring the area and its many wonders. There are a couple of good dining options in Castlerock (the Meatbox makes amazing burgers), and plenty of options nearby for grocery shopping if you prefer to prepare your own meals. A wonderful experience overall, would be happy to stop here again. Highly recommended.

  We loved this beautiful cottage from the moment we walked in!

  It's really homely and welcoming, and we enjoyed a wonderful and very special week there. The sea views are stunning, the best we've ever had from a holiday cottage, and it was magical to watch the sunrise over the bay. We could easily have stayed in all day just looking at the view. However, we tore ourselves away as Rocklea is ideally located for exploring this beautiful area, and we very much enjoyed the Mournes, Tollymore, Murlough, Silent Valley and Castlewellan Country Park. Also, the coastal path from Bloody Bridge has fabulous views out to sea. The cottage is well equipped, cosy and very comfortable and we would highly recommend it. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you, Mary, for all your kindness and helpfulness to us, which we really appreciate. Jo and Ian
