Step Back in Time at Ballymote
For a touch of Georgian class, look no further than Ballymote House. An 18th century country manor just outside Downpatrick, Ballymote combines timeless styling with a warm and informal welcome.
Peruse the onsite literary collection for volumes on the local history and culture, curl up by an open fire, or wander the ten acres of extensive grounds.
Your Ballymote hosts are determined to offer an experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Small details like their specially made soaps and home-baked biscuits offer a personal touch in the midst of the countryside.
Get Back to Nature
Escape to the Crossgar countryside with a stay in a meticulously restored farmhouse. Housed in a cottage from the 1830s, the Mulberry's hosts are on a mission to offer quiet respite to everyone who comes through their door.
You’re unlikely to find a fresher breakfast than at the Mullberrys. The resident hens provide fresh eggs every morning for your traditional Irish fry-up.
Feel the Sea Air in Ardglass
There’s nothing quite like a trip to the coast. Margaret's Cottage, a boutique Bed and Breakfast, sits directly across from the Ardglass Golf Club. Smell the salt air from your bedroom window, or take an evening stroll along the shore after dinner.
In the morning, you can taste the fruits of the sea, mere metres from where it’s caught. The breakfast offering is a favourite for all the guests.
As a family run business, Ciara is an expert in keeping guests of all ages entertained. If your lucky enough you might get to meet Mr O'Shea, His Royal Furriness. Kids will love the chance to meet the local seals, while adults can tee off at the nearby Ardglass Golf Club.
