Neil McLeod
Gorse Hill Farm self catering cottage has been open for business from April 2015, but some of the building dates back over 100 years and the property retains many original charming features including solid stone walls and granite lintels.
I'm Neil McLeod, I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures and have a passion for golf.
We are located in the heart of the Mourne mountains in An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with unspoiled views of the Hare's gap and Slieve Meelmore overlooking Shimna valley. Only one mile as the crow flies to Tollymore forest park.
