"Thanks for a great stay
I do feel that the charge was pretty high, given the view was disrupted by the drilling machines and also there was no logs for a fire (the cottage was very cold on the day we got there)."
We shouldn't have been expected to buy the logs. Maybe something could be taken off the price we paid to compensate us as we did pay quite a bit and didn't get all the facilities.
A note for the cleaner , there was dog hair accumulated near the sofa.

"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.

"This is a very special location halfup up the mountain."
Totally relaxing! Woke up to cows in the front yard/pasture and sheep in the back yard/pasture every morning. Cottages have everything you need for a pleasant stay.

"We had a lovely stay for a week at the cottage."
It was very comfortable and clean. Lovely and warm the whole time. It's a good location for traveling around the area. We have two little dogs that were very happy in the cottage, and it was great to have them with us. The cottage had everything we needed for self-catering for a week.
The location is beautiful with lovely views down to the sea and twinkling lights at night.

"This is an exceptional stay, all the charm of a cottage with luxury modern comfort."
An authentic drive up to the location, lots of parking space, the most incredible views, the quietness and the direct access to the mountains- phenomenal.
The cottage is also so central to many many beautiful locations within a short driving distance and lots of literature is provided.
Overall 10 out of 10, highly recommend.
Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.

"The Cottage was very nice, unfortunately the road up to it from the Main road was unsurfaced and rocky, very unsuitable for Driving on!"
the Owner was very helpful and told me that he was aware of that and would be getting it sorted out soon! Apart from that it was a most enjoyable Holiday!
i would certainly return there but only if the road was Cemented or Tarmacked! So with this in Mind i gave it 4 stars.

"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.

Comfortable and welcoming. The lane and the track up were long but the solitude was welcome as a refreshing time from our normal lives. Walking straight from the cottage to the hills was a joy.

"Comfortable and well appointed cottage."
The owner, Eamonn, was very helpful and hospitable throughout our stay. The cottage is nearer to Killowen than Rostrevor and is situated 1.7miles along a single track road (Kilfeaghan Road) from the main A2 road, care is needed with oncoming traffic when driving along Kilfeaghan Road as there are limited passing places. The last section of the road from the picnic area is like a farm track and one has to drive carefully in order not to ground your vehicle. The cottage is sited in a lovely peaceful and quiet setting, with splendid views of Carlingford Lough in the distance.
Although Wifi is provided at the cottage, we were unable to get any mobile phone signal (Vodafone) until we were near The Killowen Distillery which is situated approximately a mile from the cottage back down the single track road towards the A2.
