  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 had a wonderful stay at this property.

  It has a great location with lovely views of the town and Carlingford Lough. It is conveniently situated with easy access to the town. The rooms are spacious and well laid out with comfortable furniture. Everything we needed was there. If we had a wish list it would be to add a smart tv so that we could watch netflix etc. We missed having an ensuite but the bathroom was handy to all bedrooms so it wasn't a serious issue. The second toilet was useful. We would have preferred dog proof fencing at the front of the property or perhaps a fully fenced backyard. There was no barrier between the house at both ends to prevent our small dog from leaving the property had it tried to. The rear fence slats were a little wide or at least appeared to be consequently we had to stand guard whilst our Zoe went outside. All in all a great property and a credit to its owners. Thanks for allowing us to spend a week there, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh and thanks so much for the goodies you left for us, tea cakes and crisps etc.

  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!!!
