Cottages in County Down

"Sent 3 messages to the host days before we where due to arrive re how to access the property, got no replies, had to phone booking agent VRBO on arrival as we couldn’t get inside & as there was no 4g signal we had to drive off again & find a signal, it seems tie host “forgot” to send details. overall we found the property adequate for 2 nights stay but wouldn’t have been happy to stay longer as beds although clean where extremely uncomfortable. Bathrooms def need attention. Upstairs living room...

"This property was beautiful from decoration to welcoming from Vivienne. The cottage is out in the country for some quiet but close to so many things to do. The hosts are wonderful and the place couldn’t be more beautiful. 😍 "

"This quaint little cottage off of the entrance to Tollymore Forest is perfect to just get away and mend your mental health. I will definitely be there again, perhaps yearly if I can afford it! Jo is easy to contact and is most helpful with everything. Thank you Jo, you are so loved 💚"

"This cottage is a real gem of a find. We had a lovely relaxing week in November in this impeccably renovated and decorated 200 year old cottage which has original features blended with all the modern comforts you could need including underfloor heating and a cosy stove for evenings around the fire. The cottage itself is set in the rolling County Down hills with glimpses of the Mourne Mountains in the distance on winding walks around the quiet roads. We also enjoyed star gazing on the terrace...

"The property was very nice but the owner did not tell us he had an aggressive dog on the property before we arrived, knowing we were bringing our dog with us. He had his aggressive dog in a field opposite the property off lead and with no muzzle. When the owner's dog saw ours, which was on lead, he ran over at full speed, we were unable to get the dog back in the house. The result was 2 very bad bites on our dog’s back requiring veterinary treatment. The owner seemed unconcerned. Our dog will...

"A truly wonderful find! Quiet, convenient, clean well appointed cottage, with attentive, friendly hosts. Good parking, near enough (by car) to the Mourne Mountains, Murlough, Tyrella and Ballykinler beaches and Newcastle. About a 45 min drive from Belfast. A great haven for peaceful outdoor pursuits or just getting away from it all. Will happily stay again! "

"This is a little gem. such a beautiful property, with so much to see and do locally. Owner is super friendly and accommodating. Our new holiday home!"

"Clean, quiet, beautiful country residence located within an idyllic equestrian centre. Close to restaurants and tourist spots in Bangor and Donaghadee. Our dog really enjoyed the trip too. Trevor, the host, was a gentleman. Thoroughly recommended!"

"Cosy little cottage, has everything you need within a small area. Stairs a little steep for knee issues but manageable. Views over the bay are just glorious!"

"The size of this property is very deceptive from the outside but it has so much space. Lovely open plan kitchen/diner plus living room area and downstairs shower room plus utility. There is also another smaller living room with stairs to four bedrooms which are all adequately sized plus two bathrooms.. Parking although on the street wasn't a problem even with two large cars, we only had a problem on one evening. A few more tea towels, sponge and bin bags would have been great. The oven took a...

"Had a lovely time staying at this cottage. Was very clean and the owner was lovely! The hot tub was amazing. Would definitely be back and would highly recommend!"
