This is our second visit to Tracy's property and the stay was equally as good! The location looking out over Dundrum Bay and the Mournes is beautiful - my husband in his happy place observing the birdlife both on the water and in the wooded areas of Murlough. (44 species he tells me - including the elusive cuckoo!) The weather was glorious and the balcony gets the sun most of the day. - ideal for a glass or two of Prosecco! The apartment has all you could need and spotlessly clean. Tracy is all you could wish for in a host - you will undoubtedly enjoy any stay here.
