We loved our stay, we arrived with our wee pug who was welcomed just as much as we were, the facilities and cottage were
😀 - The property is in a gorgeous location away from anything else, sheep in a field out the front and a lovely drive in. 😞 - On arrival we were met by Darren who was friendly and respectful. It wasn’t a long outdrawn welcome procedure which I loved, it was to the point and then he left us to it enjoy our stay noting that if we needed anything he would be next door.

Just returned from a 3 night stay in the cottage. We were lucky to win the first night. It was wonderfully cosy with really comfy beds. The owner’s were amazing and even helped with the log burner for the hot tub. We loved being able to take our dog with us. We would highly recommended xxxx Can’t wait to stay again.

Super place to stay for a night or 2 away from the rat race. Few minutes drive into Newcastle, lovely views of the mournes and surrounding countryside. This is our 3rd time staying and we will be back again soon. Stayed in the ground floor room with our 3 dogs, lovely big comfy bed, room even had a Christmas tree. Help yourself breakfast in the dining room with lots of choices.
