Cottages in County Down

"Sent 3 messages to the host days before we where due to arrive re how to access the property, got no replies, had to phone booking agent VRBO on arrival as we couldn’t get inside & as there was no 4g signal we had to drive off again & find a signal, it seems tie host “forgot” to send details. overall we found the property adequate for 2 nights stay but wouldn’t have been happy to stay longer as beds although clean where extremely uncomfortable. Bathrooms def need attention. Upstairs living room...

"Had a lovely stay at Scion Lodge. Plenty of space, clean, everything we needed, quiet and great farmland scenery to wake up to. I would highly recommend for those planning hiking in the Mournes or on a Game of Thrones tour. Thank you Esther."

"This quaint little cottage off of the entrance to Tollymore Forest is perfect to just get away and mend your mental health. I will definitely be there again, perhaps yearly if I can afford it! Jo is easy to contact and is most helpful with everything. Thank you Jo, you are so loved 💚"

"We had a lovely stay. The property is very nice and well equipped. The only thing that irked us a little was that it was advertised online that there was a game console but when we arrived the controllers were missing. The owner informed us that they were probably stolen by previous visitors. It's a shame as our 4 year old would have really enjoyed it. "

"Loved the uniqueness of the accommodation and great facilities."

"Not just far above average, but lovingly designed and themed to reflect the quiet surroundings and traditional themes of the country, we instantly fell in love with this beautiful cottage. The only thing we regret is not being able to stay for longer. "

"The property was very nice but the owner did not tell us he had an aggressive dog on the property before we arrived, knowing we were bringing our dog with us. He had his aggressive dog in a field opposite the property off lead and with no muzzle. When the owner's dog saw ours, which was on lead, he ran over at full speed, we were unable to get the dog back in the house. The result was 2 very bad bites on our dog’s back requiring veterinary treatment. The owner seemed unconcerned. Our dog will...

"We stayed from Monday through to Sunday; 2 adults, 12 years old daughter and 2 dogs. We had a thoroughly lovely stay here with quiet surrounds, fresh eggs for breakfast and loads of space for the dogs to run around. We spent a little time initially ensuring the dogs couldn't get out the huge garden because of the sheep and horses that live around you (and who add to the feeling of "being away from it all" ) and they were then free to enjoy their holiday too! Rowallane gardens next door are...

"Cedar Cottage was absolutely brilliant! The hosts have thought of everything and provided us with a wonderful experience. The location, the amenities, the comfort could not be beat! I'm part owner of a vacation rental business on Cape Cod, MA and if we ever open up a Northern Ireland operation, Cedar Cottage would be #1 on my list to add to Pretty Picky Properties NI! Thanks again!"

"The property was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome and the communication was excellent"

"Clean, quiet, beautiful country residence located within an idyllic equestrian centre. Close to restaurants and tourist spots in Bangor and Donaghadee. Our dog really enjoyed the trip too. Trevor, the host, was a gentleman. Thoroughly recommended!"
