Lovely stay
We are just back from a lovely stay in Bracken cottage, the cottage itself is so nice, plenty of space, lovely decor and in a quiet area with mountains views, just stunning. Everything you could need is there and we were there alot thanks to our great weather but it was so cosy. I have to say this is genuinely the 1st place we have brought our dog and felt he was properly secured and was able to enjoy the garden which he throughly did. The cottage is 5 mins back to the main road and central to both annalong & kilkeel but perfect for exploring futher afield. We really enjoyed our stay! ❤️

Great stay!!!!
This place was a little sluce of Heaven for the beginning of our stay in Northern Ireland. The hosts were amazing and even helped us by letting us borrow a phone charger because we didnt have the right adapter from US. Please dont hesitate to stay here. It has everything you need and is close to New Castle. Also, when you go make sure to get to the Galley restaurant nearby!

Pet safe get away!!
This cosy cottage is well equipped with everything you would need for that get away break. The property's grounds are well enclosed and pet safe. Silent Valley is just up the road. If you feel the need to get in touch with the host, messaging Aileen is straightforward with a response in tip top time. Will definately be back. Just home a day and missing the place already!!! Thankyou Aileen.

Charming and Peaceful
We loved this charming Irish cottage. It was a rural setting not to far from essentials and some restaurants. It was beautifully decorated, breathtaking scenery from drives and hikes in the Mourne Mountains to the sea and very comfortable bedding. We couldn’t have asked for more ! Thank you 😊

Well equipped & located cottage
Lovely cottage close to the Mournes. Well equipped kitchen with a great shower and solid Wifi and a SmartTV. Great host communications with a handy guide to walking in the Mournes. Literally the only thing I would add is a proper chef's knife for the kitchen - but that's a quibble. (The cottage isn't really walking distance to the village, but it's just a five minute drive into Kilkeel. Please note if you're coming with a dog - some parts of the Mournes do not allow dogs - even on leash).
