By far the best Airbnb we have stayed in and we will definitely be back thanks again Janeen and Niall for an amazing stay in your beautiful Airbnb😊

Beautiful house! Every bit as good as it looks to be in the photos. Looking out through the main window in the lounge area we were able to watch the ships and boats sail past on the sea and looking through the other window at the back of the house we were able to watch the clouds and rain storm folding over the mountains. Then this morning while enjoying our coffee we to watched the rabits play in the field behind us. Such a magical place and so peaceful. We had such a lovely time and hope to be back soon.

We had a great stay at Tara’s Cottage. It was clean, cosy and the views from the hot tub were superb! Darragh was an excellent host providing info and he quickly responded to msgs. Would definitely recommend this spot for a few nights away :-)

A beautiful house, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and gorgeous hot tub. Vince was a wonderful host. We will definitely be back - thank you!

A beautiful home with the most fantastic beds, we all slept like logs! We wish we had stayed for longer, but will definitely be back.

We stayed for 2 nights with our dogs in this Beautiful cottage with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Traditional but modern interior, very clean and cosy, with everything you need. Hot tub was an added bonus, will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage. The hot tub was amazing and the surrounding countryside was gorgeous- special shoutout to the donkeys! Steph & Michael were wonderful hosts and super helpful. We had lovely trips to Tollymore Forest Park & Carlingford which were both easy to reach. All in all very highly recommended :)

Beautiful house in gorgeous countryside, the cottage has been renovated to an extremely high standard. Hot tub was an added bonus! Hosts v friendly and quick at responding. House v well though out, tastefully decorated but no clutter, has books and a few boardgames as well as TV and lovely outdoor area with seating as well as hot tub, we loved our stay

We had a lovely couple of days, the house is gorgeous and the farm walks are perfect for us with small kids. Everyone was absolutely lovely, and the children are plotting to go back already.

Brilliant stay! Super breakfast the first morning and facilities on site. Great communication with host and situated in a lovely area. Many thanks

Second time at Tracey’s place. Lovely cottage in a beautiful spot. Excellent hosts.

Our stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of magical. The artistic decor and thoughtful touches made it more than just a house—it was an experience. The man cave with its bar, the expansive outdoor space with a hot tub, a tent, and the versatile sports area offered endless enjoyment. The kids loved playing with the friendly dogs, and the host felt like an old friend, adding warmth to our stay. Truly unforgettable.

Lovely long weekend stay in Joanna’s cottage - super cosy, beautiful surroundings. Lots of outdoor space for the kids to play, and great that it was dog friendly too. Joanna was a great host - clear communication & quick replies.

Was perfect peaceful the view was amazing 🤩 was perfect for me and my mum x tv had so many apps and channels. My dog loved it 🥰 looking already for dates to go again x

Our third visit. We love it more every time we come. A very special cottage with lots of space for family both inside and in the extensive gardens and walks around the island. The views over Strangford Lough from the cottage and garden is so serene. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it all.

Unlike many Airbnbs, Neil and Jennifer Jane's place is as amazing as the photos. We stayed for a week and found the cottage clean, fully equipped, light, spacious and beautifully decorated. The surrounding coastline was like a private beach and wonderful for wildlife - we saw dolphins, crabs, starfish, cormorants, oyster catchers... Already planning a return!

What a delightful cottage. It had everything we needed + more. Great shower, comfy bed. After travelling for a few days we appreciated that there was a washing machine, and a dryer also if we needed it.Suzanne made us feel very welcome and left bread, milk, butter, coffee, tea and lots of other food items which we could use if we wanted. Her communication was great. The village is gorgeous and has a good selection of restaurants. We went into Belfast one day, catching the train from Bangor to avoid the stress of driving in a city we didn’t know.

Sally's place was perfect for our stay. It's a great location to visit beautiful county Down. Strangford Lough, Downpatrick, the Ards Peninsula. You do need a car. Great places to eat such as Balloo House and Daft Eddies. Brilliant.

The house was beautiful and exactly how it looked in the pictures. The view is so fabulous, changing with the tides and daylight. Great garden area as well for my doggy. The town itself is very quiet with only a shop and a chip van - which is currently closed on weekends. We were able to pivot and cook a decent meal in the house though instead, then go to a nearby town the next evening for food. Really chilled place to stay as a base for seeing around the rest of the area. And always a bonus when you can bring your four-legged friends 👍🐾

Mike was an excellent communicator from the start and very accommodating regarding our arrival time. He met us in person and is a very friendly and helpful host. His home made bread was delicious. His home cinema system is amazing with a fantastic selection of great films to watch on a large screen. The house is very well appointed and benefits from great natural light regardless of which room you are in. The garden, its shrubs, plants and flowers is amazing. A beautiful setting and the bird song is absolutely fantastic. The hot tub is a welcome additional if you want to relax in the beautiful garden with a glass of wine and take in the glorious views and garden. A very relaxing and peaceful stay in very homely accommodation. Mike is in the adjacent house if you need him but you have the feeling you are there all alone. Superb location if attending a wedding or other function at Tullyveery House. You just walk 500yards up the main drive. Perfect ,quiet location for a couple.

Fantastic host, went out of his way to make our stay perfect… The cottage and surroundings is perfect for a relaxing time away… Will deffo be back again 😁 Thank you very much Martin and wife

The most relaxing stay we have had. Hidden away from the hustle of the town, this was just bliss for a peaceful getaway

Had a great stay at Lilac Cottage, we were staying there as our son’s wedding was at Orangetree House, lovely cosy sitting room, well stocked kitchen and the cottage was spotless. Unfortunately we didn’t get the full benefit as it would be a great location for anyone to explore the Ards peninsula and across to Strangford and Mourne Country and come back to relax in the garden. Janet had also left us some ‘goodies’ and even Pooh bags for the dog! Apologies I took her for a walk and still have them 🙈 would 100% recommend and all being well will use again

This little place is everything as described. If you're looking for a get-away & the sound (& view!) of the sea on your doorstep, this is it! You literally walk from the garden onto the beach! The tide goes out before lunch & you can walk along the whole stretch. The only people you'll meet are those living nearby, so it's really private. Our dog really enjoyed the run on the long garden & out onto the beach. We had fab weather, so we spent most of our time there; even managed a dip ... yes, it was cold, but very refreshing! We ate all our meals outdoors on the picnic bench; plenty of take-aways nearby, but also a well-equipped kitchen where we cooked also. Cosy sitting room with large TV & Netflix for 'nightlife'! Bathroom had a bath, which is always a plus for me! We really loved our stay here & though travelled 4 hours to get there, we'd do it again no bother! In fact, we were hard-pressed to get our dog back into the car to leave, so we've promised her a return visit! 😎
