Family-friendly vacation rentals in Carlingford

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!

Booked this house for a wee treat getaway for my mother who just went through cancer treatment with a bunch of girls & we had the best time from start to finish. The place was beautiful very spacious, had everything we needed & we really enjoyed the hottub. The host was so helpful & answered any questions i had within seconds. Would definitely recommend this place

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

Beautiful location and property. Host was always available and very flexible with check in, which really helped. Clean, tidy and everything we needed. Property was extremely spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Beautiful house , was lovely to have the fire and hot tub lit for us, so cozy definitely recommend

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. 😃.

Jay was there to meet us when we arrived, he was very friendly and helpful with lots of local tips. The location was close to town and the trailhead at Donard Park. The space was large and comfortable. Recommended

We had a great time at Toni’s place which provided great accommodation for our needs in a great location providing a good selection of pubs and food outlets and easy access to Kilbroney park - the views from Kodak Corner over Carlingford were spectacular . Our grandchildren loved the play area and garden. Rostrevor provided a good base to visit Newcastle and relatives in the surrounding area. Weather was fab adding to a great family break.

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.

Great hosts and interesting accommodations. Lots to do outside in the summer, more limited in the summer but still beautiful place for walking and exploring. Great place for a Christmas family get together

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

We had such an amazing stay :) The cottage was absolutely perfect! We really enjoyed our time on the beach and exploring the local area. It was the ideal location for family bonding. We cannot wait to return! Thanks to Judith for answering any extra questions I had & for giving clear instructions for our stay:)

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.

Fiona is absolutely lovely so very welcoming helpful and gave us our privacy. The lodge is wonderful everything you could want and even home baked scones on our arrival! It is so peaceful and in the middle of nowhere (just what we wanted) but be warned the smaller country roads can be very uncomfortable to drive on! The roads however are very quiet in comparison to England so you may not come across another car coming towards you! We felt so very much at home too! It’s an absolute jewel as self catering accommodation, I don’t believe you could find a better place for the money. It’s a 10 from us and can’t thank Fiona and family enough!

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.

We stayed in Amanda's place for a wedding in Castle Leslie. It was a great location for the wedding just about a 5 minute walk. The house was very cosy and had everything we needed. It was very clean. Had a great stay here. Highly recommend.

The house and location was absolutely perfect for what we needed and Thomasina was more than helpful with anything we needed too - would recommend to anyone

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

Caroline's cottage was a wonderful about to base ourselves for a wedding in Carlingford. The cottage is spacious, clean and so peaceful. It was wonderful to have Caroline nearby to assist with questions. We felt like we were being welcomed to someone's home. Our children really enjoyed being here.

Great stay at Helen's place in the heart of Newcastle. She was very helpful and responsive. Would definitely visit again.
