Where to begin...Nicola's place was absolutely everything we thought it was going to be! It was so charming and warm inside! The wood burning stove just added topping to the already wonderful ambiance! We used the washer provided to do some clothes and forgot to take the key with us and got locked out, Nicola had to leave her engagement to come and let us back in, so if venturing outside being that key! But there isn't a bad thing I can say about this place, only wish we could have stayed longer!

Very peaceful escape from the city. Shame that there wasn't more public walks but none the less a lovely wee cottage log burner free wifi, tv and all the home comforts that you could ask for.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and a good mix of old and new. Nicola was a great host. We were giving complete privacy during our stay. The cottage is located 1 mile outside Crossgar and five miles from Downpatrick. Loved our stay and will be back.

Un beau chalet confortable! Moi et mon copain eu un séjour de détente! Je ne voulais pas partir! La région est magnifique et plein de choses à faire! Nous avons adoré chaque minute !!

Belle grange, parfait pour une escapade romantique. Nicola a été l'hôte très utile et que la grange décorée spécialement pour Halloween, très attentionné. Je recommande vraiment la place de Nicola et nous y retournerons certainement

Petit et original mais très propre lieu. Adéquatement équipé et une grande base pour explorer la région environnante. Nicola a été très utile et a fait le check-in / out processus très lisse.

Nous ne pouvions pas apprécié notre séjour, pas plus que nous avons fait. La grange est parfait pour un week-end. La région est tellement calme et paisible que vous pouvez vraiment vous détendre. Nicola est un hôte ventilateur de grenier et a équipé la grange avec tout ce que vous pourriez avoir besoin et était si utile aussi. Nous ne pouvions pas recommander cet endroit assez. Merci pour tout Nicola et que le pain brun était incroyable

Absolutely perfect place to stay brilliant host too. So clean and well kept defiantly found our new place to stay when visiting family!

Staying at Chris's was the perfect relaxing weekend. The pictures don't do the house justice, it was warm and inviting and the open fire being lit for our arrival was a lovely start to our break, we definitely made the right choice to stay here for the weekend. Everything we could have needed for our stay was in the house including some food and fresh milk in the fridge. Thank you for a relaxing stay.

We had a lovely few days here, the house was great and in a beautiful location. The pictures really don't do the house justice it was spotlessly clean, really cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Chris is a great host too, his communication was really good up until our stay and when we arrived he'd even just boiled the kettle for us! I would highly recommend staying here.

This is an excellent house in a great location and Chris is a fantastic host

The house is wonderful, pictures don't do it justice, it's very lovely and homey, restaurants and shops nearby and also beautiful tourist attractions. Chris was a wonderful host all the time we were here, he was extremely kind and answered to all of our doubts very quickly. We got here a day before my mother's birthday and he helped me get a cake for her as a surprise and left us a few treats as well. If you are planning a trip you should definitely stay in his house. I highly recommend it. I wish we could have stayed forever :) Thank you for everything !

Entry to the house is done very simply. Trade with Chris before and the keys were cordial and attentive (+ bread, milk, bottle of wine for our arrival). Housing is a luxurious, cozy design of modern Irish houses, very neat and spotless. The rooms and bathrooms are perfect, very bright. We enjoyed the full documentation on the capabilities of many hikes in the region. The accommodation is ten feet from Dundrum Bay and shops nearby. We highly recommend this accommodation both for its quality as the home of Chris.

We stayed there for 3 days during the Christmas holidays. Many other Airbnb accommodations were not available during the holidays (it seems natural though....), but Chris kindly accepted my request although he was busy in spending time with his family on my check-in day. The two-story flat was so clean and comfortable. It was equipped with all amenities and we really enjoyed our stay there feeling like living in a gorgeous house. After all it was perfect place for us to spend the Christmas holidays. It's close to a supermarket, a pub, and a restaurant, and near the sea as well. There's a path along the coastline. I recommend this place for relaxed holidays.

Place is exactly as described, lovely views of the sea from the bedroom! Very comfortable and good space out the back for drinks in the sun. Highly recommended.

Lovely quaint house, Kain was very helpful, great host. We had a lovely stay, would recommend it!

图片不这样做正义是在这种情况下,绝对真实。 A 200百年历史的建筑,有性格仍然保留着过去,以及在一个美丽的家坐落在一个美丽的庄园,让你放心,只要你到达觉得所有的现代奢华。 凯因已经尽了最大的努力让这感觉就像一个家庭正常的房子,所有的小零碎小东西用一个小型的家庭旅行时,你会需要。 凯因是一个伟大的主持人,在那里他的用户手册,回答所有的问题。我们没有在任何时候感觉我们只好打电话给他使用的设备等。 让我们在家里只要我们到达的感觉,我肯定会推荐凯恩和他的性质和会毫不犹豫地与他再次入住。

这无疑是我们住过的最好的Airbnb。喜爱的鲜花和所有的要领是在冰箱我们。可爱的厨房做饭。也有Nespresso咖啡机!真正舒适的床。环境优美,夏季和可以很容易地想象它是一个舒适的留在冬天的地方。它有你需要的一切。

美丽的田园小屋。在该地区工作的同时,我希望有一个平静和安宁我留了下来。伯德桑在早晨,屋顶上的孔雀......山寨的梦想。 漂亮舒适的床,炉子日志设置为光,一瓶酒在抵达冰箱。非常周到的装饰,这使得空气BNB属性比较特殊。 Killyleagh是很短的车程,以惊人的熟食店/咖啡厅和酒吧很大,而这样你是在农村的心脏,你是从文明从未远离。彻底推荐。

美丽的平房坐落在美丽的理由。舒适,装饰精美。周末休息一个真正伟大的地方!

Very cosy cottage with lovely views iba quiet town. Deirdre is a great host and made sure we had a ver pleasant stay. Great back patio where you can have a BBQ and enjoy the sun .

Had a lovely stay in Cara Na Mara. The house was perfect. Very warm and comfortable, especially with the stove fire. Killough was also lovely and quiet with beautiful scenery everywhere we looked. We're looking forward to our return.

This little place is wonderful and homely, it's situated a long the sea front with bars, and shops within walking distance. Would recommend this place if you need some peace and quiet.

Don't hesitate! A hidden jewel!

Great house, great location. If you are in the area you won't find many places better than this.

Awesome place to stay. Gorgeous location in southern County Down, mid-way between the Mournes and Strangford. The village is lovely - small, but interesting and with a 'hidden' beach just past the quay. Beautiful views wherever you look and so close to beautiful countryside too. Highly recommend by this small family :)

Lovely quiet village with friendly local pubs. Fully equipped and beautifully decorated home right on the shore. Decently central to many attractions in Northern and Southern Ireland. Very good restaurants within 15 minutes drive. We recommend it highly.

Alice a été très utile, le gîte est belle, et la région est vraiment agréable, je le recommande vivement!

Alice war sehr zugänglich für jede Hilfe und sehr freundlich. Stellt sicher, wir haben, wo wir gebraucht werden.

Belle situation et tout ce que vous avez besoin pour un séjour des plus confortables. Alice était au-delà réfléchie et, bien que nous avons à peine fait surface durant tout notre séjour (grâce à mal chronométré maladie), il a été très appréciée. Nous espérons absolument d'être de retour à écouter la mer que nous dérivons de dormir!

Alice's beach house was absolutely fab, so cozy and quirky! Such a nautical and New England vibe, felt like I was in cape cod! Alice had everything for a perfect stay down to fresh bread, milk and eggs down to blankets, hot water bottles and spare toothbrushes (I forgot mine). The view is like no other, right on the beach and when you go to sleep are night you can hear the waves crash on the beach. The place is superb! Thanks Alice, we will be back!

Alice's house was idyllic! My boyfriend and I came to stay for one night after a busy few days exploring Northern Ireland, and we couldn't have asked for a better place in which to relax, cook & enjoy the beautiful coast. It felt like a home away from home. Thank you!

Alice è super bello! Il cottage è una splendida casetta che è perfettamente arredato e ci siamo innamorati con esso nel momento in cui abbiamo visto. Era facilmente raggiungibile con il GPS e Alice si è preso cura che abbiamo avuto tutto quello che serve per una ottima colazione :) Abbiamo sicuramente tornare!

Un fantastico soggiorno in questo piccolo tesoro nascosto, una vera scoperta. Era in un posto magnifico proprio sulla spiaggia, che era incredibile, anche durante una tempesta. Il suono dal mare era incantevole! Era accogliente e caldo, anche se fuori si gelava. Mi è piaciuto molto il tocco casalingo e bit aggiuntivi per la colazione era ottima. Un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo e Alice era molto bello. Nel complesso lo consiglio vivamente.

我继续回来Alices山寨,我只是喜欢它这么多。希望能尽快回来。

Maggie and Mike are new to airbnb and very enthusiast and welcoming to help you feel comfortable. Pleasant little village with good location near Tollymore etc. I would be happy to stay again in the future.

This house is just as it states. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend here and I would definitely use this house again. Eve was great giving us all the information we needed and easy to contact as well. Could not thank her enough.

Eve and Ruairí were a pleasure to have as hosts, they were accommodating and personable. We contacted them during our stay to enquire about extending it another day which they happily agreed to and ensured that we were able to pay conveniently and with little hassle. The house is immaculate, modern and comfortable. We can't praise or thank them enough!

Lovely property - just as described!

We were made to feel wonderfully welcome by Caroline, and the boathouse was exactly as it's shown in her beautiful promotional photos. The accommodation was cosy and comfortable, and the facilities were excellent. Coming away from Portaferry at the end of our stay we were left with lingering thoughts of the beauty and peace we found there.

We loved our experience in Portaferry. Caroline was extremely generous and kind. We felt at home. The boathouse was clean, intimate, cozy... The view was stunning. Unforgettable! We will never regret our four days there. Thank so much Caroline!

Caroline was a perfect host with an even better boathouse. Arriving late after travelling, Caroline was welcoming and thoughtful. I loved the place and lost hours staring out of the living room window at the amazing wildlife. The area -- in all senses -- is filled with astounding beauty and I can't wait to go back.

The listing was quite accurate although maybe it didn't do justice to the beauty of the place or its location ! Caroline and her family were great and couldn't have been more welcoming ! So appreciated everything . Thank you all.

Caroline was a fantastic host, and made us feel like quite-welcome guests. The boathouse location is indeed special! The beds are comfortable, and the house outfitted with all the things we might need. Caroline helped us with all the information we wanted to know about the area, and left us thinking we'd love to stay there again.

Ah, the Boathouse! One of the most exceptional places I've stayed at with AirBnB. It was imaginatively renovated and immaculately equipped. And the setting was both breathtaking and very relaxing. I wish I could have stayed longer. It was magical. Caroline was super too: organized, helpful, communicative, and a wealth of knowledge about the area, which is a part of Northern Ireland that deserves to be much better known.

Absolutely lovely place! The view from your sofa is the peaceful sight of the lough flowing past your window and the majestic Castle Ward house is sat up in the hills opposite you. The Boathouse has a fully equipped kitchenette that was perfect for cooking a nice dinner on and the layout is perfect for a private weekend getaway. The hosts were spot-on, extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions about the area if needed. No hesitation in recommending this place at all!

Caroline is really welcoming and very friendly,the place itself is really unusual and great to stay in , the view is fantastic.. lots of graet things close by , an aquarium, Castle Ward, Mount stewart , a short ferry is close by .. Lovely place and a great host

We received a warm welcome from Anne. The house was very clean and very nicely decorated. The breakfast and picknick items were very much appreciated. We had a great time at this beach house. The beach in front of the house is beautiful and nice for the children to play on.

Anne was a great host and the cottage was superb. There was fresh bread, milk, eggs and jams on arrival. Anne had printed off some information on events in area over the St. Patrick's Day weekend which was a great help. It's a beautiful location over looking the beach and facilities were excellent. The cottage has under floor heating so it was lovely and warm the whole time. We enjoyed plenty of lovely walks around the area with their friendly dog Cooley!

A little piece of paradise! A stunning view over the water and a well-equipped and comfortable cottage. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. The cottage is away from the main house, so you are completely private. It's worth noting that if you will be staying for more than a few days, there is a fridge, but no deep freeze or microwave oven. The nearest shops are in Downpatrick, which is six miles from the cottage. There is an Asda and Supervalu there.

A stunning location with fab accommodation.......

Wir verbrachten 1 Woche im Haus neben Anne Platz. Der Ort ist atemberaubend, wunderbar! Wir waren beeindruckt! Auch Anne und ihr Mann sind sehr nette Leute und sie begrüßen uns vom ersten Tag an. Sie waren für uns immer zur Verfügung, wenn wir etwas brauchten, und sie war immer in Kontakt mit uns für den ganzen Urlaub zu uns wie zu Hause fühlen zu machen! Sie Kühlschrank war voller Lebensmittel für das Frühstück und das Haus hatte alles, was wir brauchten (Fön, Duschgel, Seife ..). Wir brauchen nichts zu kaufen! Als Anne wussten, dass wir dort die Orte, wo Game of Thrones zu besuchen waren gefilmt wurde, war sie so freundlich eine Karte für uns mit all ihren Rat und Vorschläge vorzubereiten. Was kann ich mehr sagen ??? Planen Sie nach Nordirland zu gehen? Nun, nicht verpassen diesen Ort! Sie werden durch so ein schönes Paar zu begrüßen, die Sie zu Hause fühlen lassen!

Myself, my partner & two children (aged 3 & 12) had the most amazing, relaxing & fun filled few days at Anne's Cottage. Anne was the perfect host, she made us feel so welcome. Anne kindly had fresh milk, jam, eggs, cereal etc on our arrival, and various toiletries. The fine details we're fabulous, a well loaded picnic bag with blanket & accessories, beach bag with beach towels and beach toys for the children. Constant fresh towels when we requested. Nothing was too much trouble for Anne who clearly takes pride in her beautiful cottage and ensuring her guests have a relaxing stay. Coney Island itself is a beautiful hidden paradise, lots of adventures to go on with children of all ages. Equally adventurous for adults. The beach is literally on the cottages doorstep, stunning views and walks around Coney Island, just beautiful. Arglass is only a 20 minute walk away, great places to eat, shops, marina, castles, play parks etc. There is nothing we could fault about our break, the cottage was perfect, the surroundings beautiful & we made lots of wonderful memories! Wish we could have stayed forever, will definitely be booking again soon.

This is an amazing property, stunning views and a lovely host. It's our second trip to beach cottage and looking forward to returning again

What a great find! My son and I spent just one night at Mike’s, squeezed in after a weekend in Dublin and a visit to Belfast. The online pictures of the house and garden had been enticing but they didn’t really convey just how much love has gone into both the inside and outside spaces. The artwork and decor deserves a visit in its own right. My son really wanted to try the hot tub while it was pouring with rain (a really bizarre combination and great fun) and we followed this with the Wimbledon final on the big HD cinema screen. Talk about hedonism, this was a total treat! As a host, Mike is a really lovely guy, we could have talked for hours. He was on hand to attend to all our needs, but we didn’t really have any, the house has everything, big comfortable bed (and he kindly organized a sofa bed for Laurie), great conservatory, where we had a sumptuous organic breakfast, and outside there are all kinds of little corners to relax in privacy. One niggle, the shower is electric and hardly torrent-force, but Mike is planning to install a new more powerful mixer shower next month. I know my wife would love the garden so I plan to bring her back next time. I felt like we could easily have a whole holiday here and not need to travel far. The local area is idyllic and the local town of Killyleagh with it’s old castle is worth a visit. The price was a steal. Here in England you wouldn’t find this sort of package at twice the price. Thank you Mike, for sharing your amazing house available on airbnb, we’ll be back soon!

It's a beautiful house in a lovely garden and Mike's a nice bloke. The house is maybe a mile and a half from Killyleagh village. We recommend the deli near the castle, by the way. It's a quiet peaceful house, the wifi is strong, the home cinema's great (though it took us a while to get it working right) - and Mike is clearly keen to get the guest experience right. The light coloured carpet would be a challenge for some, I guess. The kitchen has a decent range of equipment - no grill(?) or microwave but 4 gas rings and a small oven, and enough pots & pans, etc. Can't comment on the hot tub because we didn't use it. One day we did this walk (URL HIDDEN) - a nice easy walk through the lanes & along the lough shore.

Je viens de rentrer d'un séjour de 3 nuits étonnante chez Mike. La maison était super sympa et exactement ce que nous cherchions dans un week-end de détente loin de l'agitation de la vie urbaine. Pendant que nous étions là-bas, nous avons apprécié obtenir confortable à côté de la cheminée, nous réchauffer dans le bain à remous et regarder beaucoup de télévision et Netflix sur l'écran de cinéma. Il était alors assez froid étaient étaient là et il y avait même une touche de chutes de neige sur l'un des jours, afin d'avoir une cheminée pour se reposer après la marche vers la ville voisine, et en regardant le château, a été très appréciée. Nous avons pu utiliser la cuisine pour nous cuisiner des repas chaque jour. Mike était un grand hôte et assuré que nous avions tout ce dont nous avions besoin, puis se tenait presque invisible dans la maison voisine. Il a également été très utile dans la course jusqu'à notre séjour offrant nous voyageons des conseils et faire en sorte que nous sommes arrivés en toute sécurité. Je vous recommande vivement de rester et de vivre la tranquillité de la maison Mikes.

Mijn vriend en ik verbleven in prachtig huis Mike's voor 2 nachten. We meteen verliefd op de tuin en het huis. We voelden beiden zo op hun gemak voelen in het huis van Mike's en voelde een soort van rust over ons komen. Je kan zeker voelt al de liefde die hij en zijn overleden vrouw in de woning te zetten. Het was een perfect weekendje weg!

This was our second time at Mike's and we hope to return again next year. A lovely spot and great accommodating host!

Een juweel van een huisje in een prachtige locatie. Mike liet ons zeer welkom voelen en was een uitstekende gastvrouw.

Een unieke artistieke accommodatie op een prachtige locatie! We kwamen aan na een lange rit, en we zijn van plan om boodschappen te gaan, maar lukcily Mike bakken al een vers brood en kreeg ons wat salade van zijn tuin, zodat we niet zouden moeten vertrekken. Erg attent! We voelden ons meteen zeer welkom. De accommodatie is echt mooi, vooral het uitzicht op het meer. We hebben genoten van te zitten in de serre, want het is een geweldige plek om te zitten, Of zonnig of regenachtig weer. We hielden ook de hot tub en de beamer (ideaal voor het gebruik met uw eigen laptop met HDMI of je kan gewoon inloggen op je Netflix-account). Mike geeft ook gekookte maaltijden in een extre kosten, en hij maakte een geweldige veganistisch curry en salade voor ons, die we zouden aanbevelen! Het is een geweldige locatie voor het ontdekken van Noord-Ierland, als we naar de Giant's Causeway, de Tollymore Forest Park en het Kasteel Ward voor de Game of Thrones tour.

Mijn vriend en ik hadden een absoluut heerlijk verblijf met Mike - we kregen een warm welkom bij aankomst in zijn prachtige huis en hij zorgde ervoor dat we voelden ons thuis. De hot tub en home cinema gingen vooral een traktatie! De plaats is ruim en de bedden zijn comfortabel, en Mike had de extra mijl om ervoor te zorgen dat we hadden een geweldige tijd weg - op het kussen en heerlijke bits in de keuken voor het ontbijt, dat buiten de plicht waren chocolade. De tuin en het uitzicht zijn prachtig, en ik vond vooral de mogelijkheid om in bed liggen en hebben een prachtig uitzicht op de vijver en alle bloemen en de natuur er omheen. Zou het ten zeerste aanbevelen!

We loved our stay at Red Roof Cottage and would highly recommend it. The house is on a lock-box, so we never actually met our host. However Angie was very responsive to our needs. Everything about the house was beautiful and very comfortable. Views are wonderful as it sits right at the beach on a quiet cul-de-sac. The bay is shallow which results in the water coming and going a very long way with the tides and this adds dramatically to the views. The front part of the house (porch, living room, kitchen, dining and utility room) appear to be formed from the original cottage; all nicely redone to modern standards, but retaining the charm of an old cottage. The substantial remainder is new construction and adds 2 large bedrooms with large en-suite baths, and a second living space; all very modern (beachy) and beautifully done. The central heating is under-floor and works marvelously. You will be toasty warm and dry here no matter the weather.

The first thing I must say is 'wow' !! We absolutely loved red roof cottage, the beautiful location and the amenities inside the cottage. It was so clean, spacious, luxurious, warm and homely and perfect - so much that we'd come back to Ireland and stay again at the drop of a hat. Arrival was so smooth - key locked away so that we could arrive and let ourselves in whenever we got there and plenty of parking. Lovely to unwind in or use as a base for travel and sightseeing. Perfect. Thank you Angie!

Everything was exactly as expected and more. A beautifully, thoughtfully appointed cottage with generous levels of facilities and equipment. A peaceful location. Perfect for rest and recuperation. Lots of visiting options if you want to venture further afield. Only thing I hadn't packed and expected to find was a hairdryer. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or revisit. Would be even better if it could sleep 6.

La description et les photos Ne fait pas la justice de la propriété. L'emplacement, l'intérieur, la nouvelle extension à l'arrière de la propriété sont de toute première catégorie. Je ne peux pas dire assez de la propriété, ni des hôtes. Si vous restez partout à proximité de cette zone, vous devez considérer cette propriété. Vous pouvez prendre vos hôtels de charme et mastodontes 5star ..... me donner cette propriété tous les jours de la semaine. La perfection.

Hôte fourni une excellente communication par e-mail avant le séjour. Le logement était tout simplement parfait dans tous les sens. L'emplacement était idillyc pour des vacances reposantes. Les voisins très sympathiques. Fourni une excellente base pour nous d'explorer la région environnante, où nous avons trouvé beaucoup d'endroits pour manger. Je recommande vivement Red Roofs aux amis et à la famille et aimerait visiter à l'avenir.

tutto era come è stato promesso .... e il mio amico e non ho potuto chiedere di più da fornire. In tutto, consiglio vivamente questo delizioso cottage per chi cerca una superba tranquillo lontano da tutto luogo di vacanza.

Cottage was lovely and as described. The location was right on the seafront. We felt comfortable and relaxed straight away and I even managed to light a lovely log fire.

We had an amazing stay at the Red Roof Cottage. The cottage is even nicer than on the picture. It felt very cosy and exactly like home. Angie is a great host, we had everything we could think off. Stay at the cottage certainly made our New Year Eve even more special. Views around the cottage are amazing, Ardglass is a small but very nice village, it was a perfect base for our trip trough N. Ireland. Thank you Angie

Una pintoresca cabaña hermosa perfectamente preparado para la relajación. Mis perros les encantó la libertad de la gran jardín (aunque ocasionalmente se deslizaron a través del seto en el jardín de los vecinos!). El dormitorio principal era de gran tamaño y una cama muy cómoda. La ropa de cama tenía un hermoso olor a recién lavado. La proximidad a Murlough era grande para mí y mis perros. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra ruptura.

The log cabin is ideally situated to explore the Mourne Mountains area on the edge of Dundrum, with a view of the Slieve Donard from the veranda. Fionnuala made us very welcome and the cabin had lots of books, maps and information about the surrounding area which I found very useful. The cabin is very comfortable and has all you need for a quiet restful holiday. The restaurants in Dundrum are only a 10 minute walk away and offer good quality food at reasonable prices.

The log cabin was exactly as we'd hoped! It was simple & rustic & quite remote... & our dog loved it too!!! And Murlough Beach is possibly the most beautiful beach I may have ever been to in the UK!!! We had a wonderful time & would love to go back one day!!! We arrived a bit later than we had intended but were still greeted with kindness from David who gave us all information about the cabin & told us about the local area, including very interesting (URL HIDDEN) about the surrounding (& beautiful) area. Glorious!

Amazing area and nice house

A beautiful cabin in a great location. Very spacious with everything you need. Cosy cabin. Great if you want a break to just get away from it all. Great for lovely walks. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Great place for relaxing and exploring the local area. Right at the entrance to Murlough reserve and 5mins by car to Newcastle and Mourne mtns. Loads of space for 2 people and 4 would fit comfortably too. Great stay.

Fionnuala was most inviting and a real help providing accurate directions to the cabin. She had even gone to the bother of leaving fruit scones for our arrival! Beautiful cabin in an idyllic location, we will most definitely be back.

Celia was a very warm welcoming hospitable host, we arrived late after an awful day of car problems & the first thing she did was make us a pot of tea which was very kind as she was in the middle of making pizzas for her dinner. When Celia showed us to The Narrows there was a roaring fire which was lovely because it was blowing a gale & freezing outside. Celia had left fresh flowers, homemade bread & honey, milk,juice plus lots of other provisions far more than the basics. The Narrows is a lovely building/holiday home full of rustic charm it was clean, warm & had the most comfy beds ever, other our own! Being at the Narrows made us feel very peaceful & relaxed, it was lovely sitting on the decking listening to the birdsong. If you want power showers & all mod cons maybe its not the place for you. Portaferry's a quiet little town with a few places to eat & drink we also got the ferry over to Strangford it only takes 10 mins a few more places here. The location of The Narrows is stunning its on the shores of Strangford Lough where you can see spectacular wildlife Common & Grey Seal, Brent Geese where they spend the winter, Irish Hare even a Sea Otter if you're very lucky. Get the Ferry over to Strangford and drive or cycle out to Cloghy Rocks at ebb tide you always get a good view of Seals from hear. Keep going round the Lough there are lots of good viewing places & loads of wildlife to enjoy. We really enjoyed are stay at the Narrows, the peace & tranquillity. We are already planning a return visit for later in the year. Well done Celia, continue the hard work.

Staying at Celia's was a great experience. For our first time in Irland, the location was both quiet and practical. Not too touristic but not far from touristic sites (Game of thrones' Winterfell set just across the lough), in a great environment - the Strangford Lough. The natural sites and parks are just amazing and the golfes a dream for practicing. Celia is a great host, she makes you feel at home immediatly. We received some friends for dinner and the were delighted to search for vegetables to cook in the garden. The house is cosy and well furnished, you can do a good fire if winter is coming... I warmly recommand !

Had a really nice time staying at Celia's lovely accommodation. It had everything we needed and Celia had thoughtfully provided some home made bread and other provisions. Portaferry is ideally situated to explore the area. The Narrows Social is a fascinating project and we wish Celia well with it.

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Celia and her team are so friendly, and the little studio we stayed in was perfect. We were self-contained but knew we would be welcome in the 'main' bit of the residence if we wanted company. The garden is gorgeous and we had a lovely cat visit us frequently. I'd recommend this to anyone for a peaceful getaway.

We had a great time, home away from home, lots of great facilities and stunning location and views with a great garden, my son enjoyed the giant trampoline in the garden. The fresh bread was very tasty and Celia was a great host and met all our needs! I will be back!

Celia was the best airbnb host we've ever encountered, a real inspiration and fantastic person. If there was a chance, we'd nominate her as the host of the year. We booked The Narrows because of the open fireplace, with my girlfriend we wanted to have a cozy and romantic weekend together away from London, preferably somewhere close to the beach. This property clearly is nailing it, we've had real privacy and a clean bed like fluffy clouds but the best part was Celia's welcome gifts and her constant caring during the whole time. When we arrived (in the night, much later than expected) we had a log on the rustling fire, Celia made us such a gorgeous veggie casserole that we will remember for a lifetime, baked a gluten free seaweed bread and she even left a bottle of fruity Italian wine on the table. You can imagine, you have to experience. We were after a romantic weekend with Northern Ireland's beauty and tranquillity added to it and we got something way beyond our expectations. Celia has rented The Narrows at it's most neglected state and refurbished and decorated it with beautiful natural and vintage pieces. It's very special and warm to be there, there are community events and she cooks for a great number of people occasionally. And we support her doing so as her cook is mind blowing :) Sum of it all, this experience is worth so much more that you spend on it, and the area is gorgeous all around! Be careful with the cat though, she's super cute and you won't be able to resist letting her in, then she finds her place around the radiator or the fireplace purrs and squints and never leaves :) Oh we miss this weekend so much! Thank you Celia!

Celia was a lovely host. The Narrows was exactly what we were looking for – a comfortable and private accommodation in order to relax for a few days. We had access to chopped wood and kindling for the open fire, and the beautiful back garden was a bonus. We certainly plan to return in the future.

Lovely spot. Henry loved the cats and trampoline!

Maddie is the perfect, very warm-hearted host. Wether we needed special food or a lift to Ardglass, she was extremly helpfull. The cabin is perfect equipped and very homely and comfy furnished. We felt very comfortable and can highly recommend this place.

Susan made us feel very welcome from her initial response to my request for a quote till we said our goodbyes. She met us at the apartment on time and provided us with all the information we required for our two week stay. She remained available should any issues arise and thankfully none did. The apartment was exactly as advertised and contained no surprises. A very comfortable apartment nicely situated on the Down coast, with easy driving access to the surrounding area and convenient supplies shopping only a short walk away.

Apartment very well appointed, with every thing we could need and a fantastic view worth every penny! The apartment situated on the edge of Stranford Loch and we positioned for shops, pubs and restaurants in the village. An ideal base to explore the southern part of Northern Ireland. The apartment is nicely decorated and very clean and modern, with a lovely bathroom and well appointed kitchen and lounge area - very spacious. Our host, Susan was very friendly and helpful when we arrived and provided us with some useful instructions on working the kitchen appliances and the internet. Susan made sure essential supplies were to hand, the sort of things one does not normally carry in their luggage. After that, Susan left us alone to enjoy our holiday, but made it clear that she was only a street away if we needed anything. This was our first visit to Northern Ireland and a pleasurable experience. We plan to return for another holiday soon. A great place with a friendly, quiet and relaxing atmosphere and some wonderful countryside.

Die Zeit bei Sue war die beste Station während unseres Nordirlandsaufenthalts! Die Zusage von Sue erfolgte, trotz unserer kurzfristigen Anfrage, sehr schnell. Die Wohnung ist ein Traum und gemütlicher als der erste Eindruck der Fotos vielleicht erwarten lässt: Die Aussicht ist fantastisch, man kann sich morgens die ersten Sonnenstrahlen am Balkon auf die Nase scheinen lassen! Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig, ruhig und gut eingerichtet! In der Küche fehlt es an nichts. Die Umgebung lässt sich von der Wohnung aus gut erkunden. Am Tag unserer Abreise hat Sue uns noch an ihrer Leidenschaft teilhaben lassen und uns zum Seehundspot geführt - das war wunderbar. Auch sonst war Sue sehr herzlich und hat uns gute Tipps gegeben. Wer lieber seine Ruhe haben möchte, wird aber auch von Sue in Ruhe gelassen! Es war perfekt, wir kommen wieder!!!

Susan was zeer gastvrij en zo'n interessant persoon. Ze was zeer attent en zelfs leende ons haar vrije mobiele telefoon als de onze was niet goed werkt. Lieve Vrouw

Susan est une personne très sympathique.

My wife Catherine and I spent last weekend in Sue's lovely apartment. We found Sue to be very welcoming and relaxed even though due to circumstances beyond her control, she had not had time to prepare the apartment to her liking. The apartment was clean, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The views of Strangford Lough were perfect from apartment. Killyleagh is a very pleasant and compact village. Overall, I would highly recommend coming here and staying at this apartment. - Oliver and Catherine

We had a very pleasant stay in Sue's apartment. Sue welcomed us with great kindness and took the time to show us around the apartment for us to be directly totally comfortable. The bay view is absolutely breathtaking. the area is quiet despite being conveniently located. Sue gave us some good tips for our tours and restaurants. While remaining very discreet, she took of our regular news. In short, it's a 10/10 +++ A highly recommended!

Apartamento de Susan foi delicioso, quente & a vista foi excelente. Nós certamente teve um tempo fácil ficar lá. A própria Susan era uma mulher inteligente e útil & nós recomendaria seu locale Air BNB para todos.

Das Offensichtliche: Großsrtiges Zimmer, wie beschrieben, großzügig und sehr sauber. Die Hunde waren auch recht nett und auch wenn man nicht so sehr mögen sollte, überhaupt kein Problem. Ich hatte einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt und Gayle war extrem freundlich und man kann sich gut mit ihr unterhalten. Sie versucht alles, um behilflich zu sein, sollte man irgendwas benötigen. Klare Empfehlung // The obvious: great room as described, spacious and very clean. The dogs were also nice and even if you were not a dog person, no problem whatsoever :) I had a very pleasant stay and Gayle was extremely friendly and a great person to have a chat with. She tries to help you out and be there on case one needed something. I would definitely recommend this place.

Gayle nos ha tratado muy bien y nos hemos sentido como en casa. Han sido todo comodidades.

Gayle is lovely host, and her home is in an excellent spot: very close to the Castle, restraunts, and you can easily walk to the national park.

It's been an overall positive experience staying with Gayle. She's welcoming, a super caring and helpful host. We would stay with her anytime again and definitely recommend her to anybody who likes to stay in this area.

Perfect host for a perfect place! We had such a lovely time in Gayle's house. Thanks again :)

Gayle was absolutely lovely, from letting us wander about until the early hours, or sitting around her table for tea and conversation. We couldn't have found a better first experience in an AirBnB.

Just like going to stay with friends, if only all friends were like Gayle! Gayle communicates promptly and is very helpful with suggestions for cafes, restaurants and walks. The house is wonderful and everything was easy to work out as Gayle wasn't able to meet us as we ended up running a little late. We ate in Dundrum which was so handy and we could walk there.

The place is more convenient than expected. I was travelling solo with a luggage on public transport from Belfast, and Gayle was kind enough to pick me up from the bus stop which really saved me the trouble of lugging my baggage around. She was very helpful in giving tips for places nearby. The room is really quiet, bed is comfy, WiFi and hot showers work well. Breakfast was great with good variety. Her family is lovely, and the dogs were really cute! There are buses to Newcastle just at the main street, castle at the back of the area, and a nice coastal walk in Dundrum. She was also really kind to drop me off in Newcastle to catch a bus and that saved me a single bus fare :-) Would definitely head back to Gayle's place when I visit Mourne Mountains again!
