Cottage vacation rentals in Ards and North Down

We had a great stay at the Seaview Cottage! Hosts are really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we had really wet weather but we still managed to enjoy our stay and got use out of the hot tub! This place would be unreal in sunny weather! Lots of nice places to see and take your dog which is a bonus for us! We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great stay at Tara’s Cottage. It was clean, cosy and the views from the hot tub were superb! Darragh was an excellent host providing info and he quickly responded to msgs. Would definitely recommend this spot for a few nights away :-)

Beautiful part of the world which I would return to again. The views of Slieve Croob were spectacular. The cottage was perfect for our group of 6 (3 doubles were ideal). Lovely decor with thoughtful touches (it was still chilly so we needed the blankets). We were lucky with the weather so spent the day at Castlewellan which was about a 30 mins drive. Really enjoyed watching the little lambs at play in the fields opposite 🐑

Had a wonderful stay at Lizzies cottage which was hosted by Vince who is such a lovely friendly guy and wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible, a super host, loved hearing about the history of the cottage and you can see the hard work and love that was put in to it, will definitely be back for another stay.

Second time staying here and it’s the best wee spot! Has everything you’d need, it’s cosy and spotless. The hot tub is brilliant and has the best views!! Thank you

Delightful property right in the heart of the Mourne Mountains. A private, cosy, peaceful hideaway that has been tastefully restored and decorated by the hosts. The cottage has everything you need for a short break and the hot tub is the icing on the cake. Ideally located for anyone with an interest in walking in the mountains and also close to the coast - just along a quiet country road but easy enough to get to the local town and amenities. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived - appreciated the Easter touches and the chocolate eggs and Prosecco too! If you’re looking for relaxation this is the perfect place.

We had such a lovely stay here - exactly what we hoped it would be and Conor and Sophie went above and beyond, even leaving us a bottle of Prosecco on arrival. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage is just as described, with everything we needed to have a peaceful retreat. 🩷

Great stay in Elsie’s cottage. Very comfortable and the beds and bedding were super comfy and cosy for a great nights sleep! Easy to get a food delivery to the house so we didn’t have to head out and could enjoy the hot tub for even longer

beautiful peaceful location with stunning views. Great area for exploring country down and Belfast. My family and I would stay here again thank you!

I stayed at this lovely cottage for 10 days and absolutely loved the atmosphere. The place is peaceful, charming, and felt like a real home away from home. The hosts were very polite, welcoming, and always up for a friendly chat, which made the experience even better. I brought my dog along, and it couldn’t have been more perfect for us. The garden is secure, which gave me real peace of mind, and I was able to safely leave him alone when needed. The resident dog is also an absolute sweethear, and a lovely companion around the property. Parking might look tight at first glance, but I was able to comfortably fit my Toyota Hilux and still close the gate, perfect for those doggy clean-downs after walks. All in all, a fantastic stay. I really appreciated the warm hospitality and dog friendly setup. Already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

Second time at Tracey’s place. Lovely cottage in a beautiful spot. Excellent hosts.

Lovely stay with the family. Felt very homely and had everything catered for. Steen was super responsive and even allowed us to stay a bit longer due to the weather forecast. Thankyou for enabling a great week with the family.

Return visit Great little cottage with lovely views of the sea. Cottage is very comfortable and cosy. Facilities as described. Visit the local pottery and windmill. Will be back.

We had a great time at the host place. A beautiful place to stay and the host was very friendly and welcoming helping with recommendations in the area very informative.

Turtle Cottage was a relaxing and peaceful place to stay. Our family all gathered there for a weekend and it had everything we needed. The traditional interior was lovely and even better than the photos. It really felt like we were staying in a home, which we appreciated. The trails around the house were magical and you are right on the water for exploring local wildlife so although the area is quiet there is so much to do, as well as everything for tennis, water activities and dvds inside the house. We loved it. Thank you for having us Tara!

Peaceful quiet stay, isolated location great for some peace and quiet. We had a great time. Should have a car for access and families should bring board games etc to occupy kids when in.

Thanks again Suzanne for another fabulous stay. we had the the best time and the weather was fabulous. As usual the house was gorgeous, thank you absolutely everything, your generosity overwhelms us alway . Looking forward to when we come back again really soon.Trish and Russ x

Our stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of magical. The artistic decor and thoughtful touches made it more than just a house—it was an experience. The man cave with its bar, the expansive outdoor space with a hot tub, a tent, and the versatile sports area offered endless enjoyment. The kids loved playing with the friendly dogs, and the host felt like an old friend, adding warmth to our stay. Truly unforgettable.

Great stay! We all felt right at home, the stay was super comfy and the views were amazing! Location is ideal for anything you need too, will definitely be back!

A lovely warm welcoming place to stay. Mike had so many personal touches to make you feel at home. The artwork and the garden around the house was beautiful with so much to see. A short drive to great hikes in the Mourne mountains. And with the hot tub and the film projector there was plenty to do in the evenings.

Absolutely a great place to stay. Very clean and plenty of room!! So cute!! Loved being on the water. Didn’t want to leave!

Just back from the gate house 🏠 We had great time and very nice and peaceful We will be back soon Thanks Chris

We really enjoyed this little cottage. It provided everything we needed. Janet had provided welcome snacks and wine. She also responded quickly and kindly to any questions we had. We had sunny weather and sat out in the back garden which was well kept. Thank you Janet for being lovely host.

Seal Bay cottage was just that - a cottage on the sea with the views of beautiful seals on an island! It was so peaceful to stay at Dawn and Paul's place, they were very responsive and left us with a lovely little gift in the end! would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful weekend away!
