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

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 (12 & 14 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!
