Vacation rentals with lake access in County Down

Laura is a super hostess! She has been easy to communicate with and very helpful. We felt right at home here. The home was very clean, super comfy and very accessible to the local town. We highly recommend Laura and her home. Thanks so much Laura!

This little place is an ideal base for a stay in Northern Ireland. The location is ideal for visiting the entire island! It’s very cosy and quiet and the owner makes you feel very welcome

This is one of the best places I have been to, me and my partner went away for a stay and it was worth every penny. John is a great host and very responsive, friendly and helpful, the location was perfect with great scenery and lots to do. The house was perfect, very spacious and the games room and the hot tub were brilliant. I would highly recommend John’s place for a great stay.

We had a great stay at Marina House. It had everything we needed for our short visit and a perfect location for travelling around Northern Ireland. The kids play area just outside was fantastic and the local coffee shops and bars welcoming, especially for an end of day pint and a game of darts! Jenn was very helpful and replied to our queries promptly. Would visit again.

We had the most incredible stay at Sabina and David’s Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, they were so warm and welcoming, making us feel completely at home. They were so, so accommodating and responsive, making everything effortless from start to finish. The setting was absolutely stunning—even on a grey day, the surroundings had a magical quality. Their attention to detail and care in every aspect of the space was evident, with everything spotless and thoughtfully finished. Every amenity you could think of was provided, from a luxurious sauna and jacuzzi to breathtaking views, with plenty of bird-watching to enjoy. One of the highlights was our morning kayaking session—such a perfect way to start the day! It was also such a handy and quick break from Dublin, yet it felt like a world away. We only wish we had booked a longer stay, but we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway

Amazing stay at Alastair’s! The place is beautiful, it had everything you can possibly imagine!! They left us some goodies and essentials which we might and it was so helpful for us as we were tired after taking a flight:) . Easy travel, beautiful surroundings and top notch host service. We got early check-in as well which was great. And cherry on top is the bedroom, overlooking a lake and royal gardens! Couldn’t be more happy and will love to stay again and we will whole heartedly recommend this place to everybody! Thank you so much for hosting us!

Caroline and Damian were great hosts. They put in a lot of effort to create the accommodation and the experience that comes with it. They were very warm and happy to assist with any requests. We enjoyed our weekend away and look forward to returning.

Rhonda’s house was even nicer than the pictures. She left super clear instructions for everything and was highly responsive. There was even baby gates available for our young children. Lots of games and entertainment. Hot tub was spotless and a treat. Would highly recommend!

The Mike’s apartment is very nice and clean. We spent a great moment. Thanks ☺️

We had a lovely 2 nights of peace and quiet. Elizabeth is a really nice lady , and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation is surprisingly spacious . It is clean , well equipped, comfortable, and cozy . Also , it is ideally located for Belfast International Airport (next door) , and Belfast City (30 minutes) .

I was travelling with my family and wanted to stay close to friends, but was also working on the Friday. It was really great for this as it had great WiFi and was quite well set up with a breakfast bar that could easily be used to whip out the laptop. There aren’t a lot of hotel options around Craigavon so opted to use AirB&B. Glad we did on this occasion as it was in a great location, walking distance to Rushmere shopping centre and with lots of scenic walks nearby including Oxford Island. We didn’t meet Katie in person but everything was as she said it would be which suited us down to the ground and she was in contact through the app to make sure that everything was fine. She set up a travel cut for my 11 month old and the apartment had everything we needed. We didn’t cook but all the equipment was there had we needed it. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was great. All in all will stay again when in the area.

We’ve stayed at Rob and Bex’s place a few times now and always enjoy our time there. Lovely character and comfortable in a fabulous location. Thanks to you both.

It was a pleasure to stay at Liam's home. Super cheap deal, very clean house, and very quiet, he also let my 2 yo child to stay with no additional fee. Liam very helpful, responsive. Definitely will book at him again in the future 😊

We had a fantastic stay in Ivy Apartment. Rory and Jill made us feel right at home and were very responsive, making sure we were warm and comfortable when it got a bit more chilly. Everything was clean and well equipped, even kitchen knives were sharp which is rare in airbnbs! Lovely town as well, everyone is very friendly and it's quite picturesque to walk around, as well as being a good jumping off point for sightseeing and exploring. We hope to return again sometime in the future!

Easy access to City centre

Lovely spacious apartment, ideal for a group. Bars and restaurants within short walking distance. Host was very friendly and accommodating for our arrival, would absolutely recommend staying here for a visit to Carlingford!

Delightful cottage - very comfortable and cosy with everything we could need provided. Kate and Angus were very welcoming and friendly. We particularly appreciated the invitation to roam anywhere on the estate and the welcome extended to our little dog. The snowdrops were especially beautiful at this time of the year. Lady Bay on the estate was a great place to walk the dog at low tide. The welcome pack provided by Kate was also well received and there were plenty of basic supplies provided - tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, brownies and shortbread! Thanks for a great vacation.

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

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.

It felt like home, such a quiet & comfortable place to stay. The ambience of the surrounding area was bliss. The communication & correspondence from our host was amazing. The cleanliness of the cottage was exceptional, everything was pristine. Many thanks The Quinn Ladies. x

Turtle Cottage was a relaxing and peaceful place to stay. Our family all gathered there for a weekend and it had everything we needed. The traditional interior was lovely and even better than the photos. It really felt like we were staying in a home, which we appreciated. The trails around the house were magical and you are right on the water for exploring local wildlife so although the area is quiet there is so much to do, as well as everything for tennis, water activities and dvds inside the house. We loved it. Thank you for having us Tara!

Riverside cottage was so perfect in every way from the warm welcome from Alan to the lovely treats. The cottage is fab, it’s beautifully decorated, the hot tub is a great touch, we had a memorable stay and will definitely return again soon 🤩

We had an incredible stay at Dunskey - it is definitely worth the effort!! Our cottage was perfect. Equipped with everything we needed, decorated beautifully and comfortable. The estate itself is wonderful with beaches, lochs, waterfalls, a maze and plenty of walks so we barely left. We enjoyed a fishing lesson with Steven the head groundsman, he was knowledgeable, friendly and we throughly enjoyed it, even though we unsuccessfully at getting a catch. Port Patrick is lovely with a nice beach, pubs and a local village store. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back again!!!

Couldnt fault the cottage, clean and warm and everything you needed provided. Appreciated the scones on arrival. Fiona was very accommodating and got back to me very quickly any time i had a question. Would recommend.
