If you are looking for peace, relaxation and quietness then this is the place. Although there are restaurants, shops and pubs within walking distance. The area is stunning and great to explore. The villa is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need. We were greeted by the hostesses daughter Maureen, such a lovely young lady. I'm just sorry we didn't book for longer. Don't hesitate in booking the villa, you won't regret it.

Stunning sea view apartment

GerardRating, 5 stars6 months ago

My New Zealand Guests were in awe of the beautiful location where the southern Mournes really do sweep down to the sea. Rostrevor is a picturesque location where Oak Woods fuse into Pine Forests and Alpine grassy hills that can offer accessible breathtaking panoramic views right down the east coast of Ireland, deep into the counties of Ulster and even across to the Isle of Man on a clear day. With the myths and legends of the Giants , not to mention walkable Fairy Glens, celebrated in music, song and poetry on the Fiddlers Green (and in the local pubs), it is no wonder the words of C S Lewis rambles with you as you trek the hills and glades of this enchanting place. With a history still there to be inhaled from Ross of Bladensburg to Castles and Squires and a living modern day monastic settlement of Cistercian Monks this place is a melody of life where it lifts your heart to where your soul is content. And where Sharon reigns as the perfect Host ! TheTruells of New Zealand.

We had a lovely stay at John’s place in Newcastle - there were 6 adults and two babies in our family group. Clear instructions were given for arrival and responses were very prompt when contacted. The house was very clean and well presented with everything we needed for our stay. The house was close to restaurants, shops and all amenities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the house to anyone wanting to stay in Newcastle and we hope to stay again in the future. Thank you

The loft was gorgeous! The bedroom, bathroom and living areas were pristine, spacious and very comfortable. Victoria had left the hot tub on for us to use at our leisure which was such a treat. She was always contactable and helpful and was so thoughtful with the welcome box of snacks. We had a stunning time at the loft and would be delighted to visit again.

Sullatober House with hot tub & Games Room

5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews9 months ago

Probably the nicest place we stayed at in Ireland. It is a long way from downtown Belfast, but if you have car, a very doable one. The hot tub was AWESOME and the place super nice. This would be a perfect spot for a long weekend with family or a few friends. Regret not being able to stay longer and soak it in. Super quiet and peaceful neighborhood too, so it was nice to explore the hustle and bustle of Belfast and then have a quiet space to escape too. Beds were super comfy and I slept great.

The location is simply magical — close to the sea, with breathtaking ocean views and great access to local attractions. This place has a unique atmosphere that allows you to fully relax and soak up the Irish charm. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for peace, nature, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Barn at Laurel Dene

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 98 reviews4 days ago

communication before and during our trip was excellent. Our host went above and beyond for us..not only was homemade sodabread, Jam and the basic necessities available we arrived to Easter buns too. one of our children had a yearning for mango pepsi which he'd tasted before in NI and several trips and phonecalls by our host were made to try find him a can! we arrived to a cosy fire lit by him and he offered many occasions to light it and got the snooker room ready for us which was a great hit with the kids. lovely space outside to play and even enjoy the Easter egg hunt. our sleeping arrangements were great...privacy for parents and plenty of space to sleep for 4 kids if the sofa bed is used. all said they slept well in comfortable beds. I would recommend staying here ..great base for Strangford lough...Newtownards and Newcastle for climbing Slieve Donard. thankyou hosts!

Roslyn Cottage was an excellent choice for us as a family of four. The house is absolutely spotless smells great and ticked every box for us. Great space downstairs and spacious bedrooms spotless bathroom and shower. The property has a private yard which you can park your car and one can sit outside if the weather is good. There is a local supermarket and a great fish and chip shop across the street. Newcastle is just 10 minutes away and Slieve Binnian just 5 minutes drive. Everything listed was there and Brian left a basket of treats for us. 10 out of 10.

Stunning coastal holiday home

JimRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We had an amazing time for my Mums 70th at Paul's house. The house and the facilities were excellent. The views are wonderful and there's so much to explore in the local area. We felt extremely welcome by the birthday decorations the host had left for us and it set the tone for a great weekend. The house was perfect for a family with toys left for our young family members and the stairs was safely secured. We would highly recommend this place. Thanks Paul and Cheryl :)

Seaview Cottage, beach, golf, Antrim Coast

LiamRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Lovely decor. Cosy. We loved the original features of the house and how they had been worked with in the design. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. Overall, it was a very relaxing place to stay. Fantastic views of the sea and the beach and the coast from the big windows and the outside seating area. Perfectly located to get to places of interest on the east and north coasts. We particularly enjoyed Giant's Causeway. Would love to stay there again.
