David and Sharon are fantastic hosts. We would highly recommend.

"David and Sharon were really good hosts."
The welcome packs provided were a nice addition, and both were very sociable and relaxed. The property is spacious and comfortable and very central to lots of things yet still quiet and in the countryside. Very much recommend.

It’s truly my top recommendation for a relaxing getaway. David and Sharon are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going the extra mile to ensure your stay is nothing short of perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine care make all the difference. I absolutely love it here, and it will always be my first choice. Highly recommended✅

"Really enjoyed staying at Glebe Farm."
There was nothing they hadn't thought off. The wee personal touches, fresh flowers, homemade scones, the wee butter dish and milk bottle. Spotlessly clean. The views from the living room window are beautiful. Loved the animals. It's a pity we had to cut of trip short, due to be being taken unwell, but we shall definitely return. Would totally recommend staying at Glebe Farm Cottage

"Glebe Cottage was very well equipped and clean."
Set on a working farm we were greeted each morning by the sight of either cows, chickens, horses or Alpacas in the field opposite. There was an lovely welcome hamper provided for our arrival and fresh flowers on the kitchen table…. little attentions to detail that made us feel the owners were keen to make sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. We used the cottage as a base for a walking holiday and the owners were knowledgeable and helpful as to where we might like to visit, they also assured us that it was no trouble for us to contact them should we need anything.. would highly recommend.
Hi Lorraine thank you for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your trip back home to Ireland. Plenty more different walks to do so hopefully we will see you back again sometime. Property Owner

"We had a fabulous holiday at Glebe Farm Cottage."
The loveliest of welcomes from David and Sharon. They were perfect hosts. The cottage was immaculately clean, extremely comfortable, very well equipped and spacious. Set in beautiful rolling countryside, it was the ideal base from which to explore the many delights of this part of Northern Ireland. This was our first visit to Glebe Farm Cottage. It won't be the last.

"Rathfriland might not seem an obvious base for touring Ulster but actually we found it perfect, We were able to easily reach all parts of the province and visit all the wonderful sights it has to offer."
Glebe Farm Cottage is a delightful home from home enhanced by the very kind attention and welcome given to us by David and Sharon. They are really, really genial hosts. We cannot recommend Glebe Farm Cottage highly enough. To look out at the farm animals was a joy especially the antics of the alpaca and horses. Thank you very much David and Sharon and we will visit you again.

"We have just returned from a wonderful week in Glebe Cottage."
The cottage is in a lovely setting on a working organic farm just on the edge of the Mourne mountains. We received a warm Northern Irish welcome from David and Sharon with a thoughtful welcome pack with homemade goodies. The cottage is very well equipped and very clean with lovely big windows making it light and airy. Thank you!

"We so enjoyed our stay at Glebe Farm."
Sharon and David are such friendly and helpful hosts, and the cottage had everything we needed; it was really comfortable and clean, and in a great location. The views out over the farm are a joy with horses, rabbits, alpacas, chickens and views of the mountains in the distance. We walked up to the town and ate out at a nearby restaurant, Loft 56, a few times. We thoroughly recommend Glebe Farm and we are considering when we can go back!
Hi Steph thank you for your lovely review. We were glad to be of help and that you had an enjoyable stay in the cottage and Northern Ireland. Hopefully see you back again. Property Owner

"OUTSTANDING HOSPITALITY!"
The bungalow is light, airy, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The big picture windows provide views of the happy hens, alpacas and horses, as well as across the fields towards Rathfriland itself and a tiny, tantalising glimpse of the Mourne Mountains. The location is peaceful, with easy access to the Mournes. Belfast, the Ards Peninsular and, we discovered, the NE counties of the Republic are also well within reach. What made this stay really stand out from all the other cottages we've ever visited, though, was the hospitality of David and Sharon. No-one could have been more friendly or helpful, whilst being respectful of our privacy.There are many aspects of that week which will live long in our memories. But, whilst the places we have visited will inevitably blur over time, their outstanding kindness will certainly not be forgotten. Thank you so much!
Hi Caroline thank you for the kind words. Really glad you enjoyed your stay, you really packed a lot into the week and as you said it went out with a bang. Lovely meeting you and hopefully see you back again sometime Property Owner

"Really enjoyed our week at Glebe cottage."
David and Sharon were very welcoming and helpful. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and very thoughtful. Really can’t recommend this cottage enough. There is a good local shop and lovely restaurant in Rathfriland about a 5 minute drive away. If you book I’m sure you will have a great stay with fantastic hosts.
Hi Kathryn thank you for your lovely feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay and so glad you have booked again for 2024. Thanks again and see you next year Property Owner

"We spent two wonderful weeks in Glebe Farm Cottage and loved every minute of it."
It contains all you need for a comfortable stay with none of what you don't. We had not stayed in Northern Ireland before but have returned home wanting more. The wee south east corner is full of stunning beauty, contrasting landscapes and charming villages. The Mourne Mountains and coast are beautiful plus we were there at such a pretty time of year. Vivid green, electric yellow from the fattest and most fulsome Gorse ever seen, blossom and blue bells. Quiet roads and almost no commercialism. Book this holiday home for one of the best holidays you'll ever have in a very special part of the UK with kind generous hosts who want to add to your experience.

"Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable, in a very nice area."
The cottage is next to the owner's farm and we loved seeing the animals, including alpacas, out in the fields. The hens were very entertaining too. There are numerous forests, parks, beaches etc within easy reach of the cottage.

"Big bungalow with lots of light coming in."
Watching the livestock became a favourite pastime. We liked the seclusion/peacefulness without it being too remote. The owners were friendly and very informative, interesting to talk to. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would recommend this property to our friends and family.

"I booked this very last minute, David met us on arrival."
The pictures don't do the cottage justice, it was spotlessly clean, spacious, David and Sharon had thought of everything and equipped the cottage very well. Arrival hamper was a lovely touch filled with Homemade wheaten, eggs from their organic farm, real butter, real tayto and the most delicious hand made chocolate fudge. Nothing was too much trouble during our stay, we had a tour of the farm on the last day which I found very interesting and got pics with one of the alpacas. I would highly recommend a stay here and wish David and Sharon the very best for the future. Super hosts, thanks for your great hospitality. See you again
