Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newry, Mourne and Down

We were new to this quiet part of Northern Ireland and it was a rare find to discover the Mourne Mountains, beaches and small villages close by. Jill’s home was the perfect escape for our family when we wanted to relax, cook, play games and watch movies. The hot tub was a bonus which we enjoyed despite the wet and cold rainy days. Would love to come back as we felt right at home

Lynne’s place was perfect! Just as she described. She welcomed us as soon as we arrived. The location was ideal. We covered a lot of ground from Belfast to Bushmills. The town of Dromore and Hillsborough are delightful. Would highly recommend!

Lovely cozy cottage. Felt off the grid but still able to nip to the shop if needed. Hot tub was a real highlight. The views are amazing. Would definitely be back

The location of this house so near to the beach is just lovely. The area, at the base of the Mourne mountains is also lovely, the granite stone walls are particularly cool. The village of Annalong is quiet and you would need a car to get around the area. Well stocked Circle K shop very nearby and the pizza from YoYo was delicious. The owner next door was so friendly and helpful and I fully intend on staying again.

Myself and my partner stayed here for a night to escape the city life. We booked very last minute and Linda was extremely accommodating, which we were very grateful for considering the short notice we provided! Absolutely beautiful stay. A cosy and quaint set up, with beautiful land surrounding. So peaceful and private - exactly what we were looking for! So much character and so many little touches have been put into this place, we were obsessed! We were greeted as we arrived, shown around and most importantly introduced to the WoodFire HotTub which had been filled up for us! Kenneth was so lovely and made sure we had everything we needed! A perfect place for a couple to escape and wind down. With little to no internet connection (which is what we wanted) and no television, we were able to unwind from our busy lives! Back to the basics! We were absolutely obsessed with this place, I would recommend any couple looking for an escape to book in with Linda! 10/10 - we will be back!

Annette was a fabulous host, very understanding when we got delayed as we were hiking Slieve Donard, super friendly and made us feel right at home! The apartment itself was wonderful, so clean and tidy! The hot tub was a brilliant touch as it was nice to relax after climbing a mountain all day. 100% would love to stay again next time we’re in the county!

Thank you Mark and Jenny for a wonderful stay at the Wee House. You are top hosts. Your cookies were a lovely welcome and a very nice way to kick off our holiday. We love the house with the comfy sofas and cosy log fire. The perfect place to relax after our walks. And what an added bonus the woodland spa was! Perfectly situated by the river with all the sounds of nature around. We loved it. Hope to see you again soon. 😃.

We had a wonderful stay, we brought our 2 dogs and all thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Aileen is a superb host, always on hand to answer any questions or just have a quick chat. We enjoyed watching the horses and chickens being attended to throughout the day and the hot tub was a lovely way to end the days after walking along the beach or hiking in the mountains. 100% recommend

perfect location. The apartment had everything that we needed. Will definately book again. cannot recommend it highly enough

Toni was so easy to deal with and the house was exactly what we wanted for 3 couples and a dog. Loads of living spaces, great kitchen facilities and comfortable beds

A lovely base to explore this beautiful area. Really well equipped, comfortable house on a quiet street. Our dog loved the secure garden and we enjoyed the mountain views. Very comfortable bed and sofas and good shower. The conservatory was really warm in the sunshine. We’d definitely come again.

Our family had a fantastic 5-night stay at "The Bank" in Portaferry! The location couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of the town. What made our stay truly special was the heritage charm of the property. So many details still reflect its history as an old bank, and that unique character really added to the experience. We especially loved the cosy fireplace, which made those cold, dark winter evenings feel warm and inviting. Plus, everything in Portaferry was just a short walk away, making it super convenient to explore the area. Having a Eurospar right across the street was such a bonus too! We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would recommend "The Bank" to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.

Gillian’s place is a Lovely cosy house set in beautiful countryside, very quiet and private place it was ideal for our needs. We travelled to the Balmoral Show during our stay. We ate in local restaurants in Saintfield which were also very tasty with very pleasant staff We really enjoyed our stay Thank you Gillian

I think the photos don't do this house justice - it was better than I expected! Clean, comfortable beds, spacious. And Coney Island is always wonderful!

Perfect for our family at Easter. Lots of walks a very short distance away and not far from town centre. Lovely private, enclosed garden where our kids enjoyed an Easter egg hunt! Friendly and welcoming hosts, very clean accommodation with a helpful welcome pack. The cosy, beautiful setting very much made up for the damp weather. A little hidden gem in the Mournes, would not hesitate to book again.

We were blown away with how beautiful the property is as well as the stunning and peaceful location. Very clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed and a lovely welcome pack - it felt like home. John and Roberta were very welcoming and ensured our stay was comfortable and were very responsive to any questions we had. Also very knowledgable about the area and its history. Taking our parents on a trip down memory lane, the property was the icing on the cake. And Mister Felix was a welcome bonus Very many thanks to you John and Roberta ☺️

We booked the accommodation for our daughter’s wedding, all the bridesmaids got ready there so we required lots of space it worked perfectly for us thanks Li.

Thank you for a brilliant stay... we maximised the location with a hike up Slieve Donard and walked into town for great breakfasts and restaurants, great hosts and accommodation

Perfect location, great scenery overlooking Strangford Lough and ferry dock, with nice seafront walks. Kate met us at the accommodation and went through everything. Very responsive and communicated well. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back! Thank you Kate!

This is a very special place to stay in the heart of the Mournes. Great view and very comfy place. Neil was helpful and responsive. Highly recommended

Really enjoyed our stay here, great location, clean and tidy, everything worked well and had everything we needed. Hosts were communicative and proactive, couldn’t ask for more.

Really enjoyed our stay, it was perfect for what we needed. Lovely cafe and green grocers below as well. Will was really friendly and very easy to communicate with. Would stay again!

we spend a wonderful week in Anne's cottage despite the weather did not want to please us all times. However, even on the wirst days we enjoyed the cottage before we could get out again into the great nature. Everything you need for a good holiday is in the cottage, very offen more than you need or wish. But the very best is Anne's friendly advice and help whenever you need. Particular her friendlyness makes you feel at home immediately. Whenever we will be back in this area we will try to stay with Anne.

I booked this house for for a work crew which had nothing but praises about the house and the view
