    Nothing, everything was great!

    I love the location of Cathleen’s cottage. It’s so peaceful and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The sheep in the next field were also lovely to watch. The garden is nice and secure and our dogs loved exploring it. The house was also spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I like that Cathleen’s cottage is central to lots of nice places to visit, both in Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. Can’t wait to return!

    This is our fifth visit to the cottage. It is a little gem and just feels like a home from home. Lovely countryside location, so peaceful. Lots of gorgeous places to visit nearby. Highly recommend.

    We have no complaints. Everything was fab!

    A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Very spacious, clean and modern. Caroline had a lovely welcome basket for us and everything we needed was there. The log fire was much needed and appreciated given that we stayed in February. I would highly recommend staying here if you like to explore the hikes nearby as everything was easy to get to from here.

    This was our 4th stay at Cathleen’s cottage, we love it as it feels like a home away from home. The location is perfect, so peaceful and quiet and the views are lovely. The cottage is very comfortable and has a great outdoor space which our dogs love. The Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely addition to this stay!

    Cathleen’s Cottage was very clean and comfortable with stunning uninterrupted views. Great base for exploring the Mournes and surrounding areas. The outdoor space was perfect, nice areas to sit and watch the sunset and our dogs loved playing in the large enclosed garden. Hope to return for a 4th visit later in the year!

    Pulling my car out onto the road , due to garden walls being right at edge of road there is no vision of oncoming traffic in either direction. I found it very dangerous, definitely need a couple of traffic mirrors other side of road for safety. Couldn't find a hoover ? Mattresses need upgrading , not very comfortable.

    The location, very quiet and peaceful. Dog proof garden for my 14 year old fella. Very efficient and comfortable heating system.

    Not so much not "liking" but rather suggesting the option of twin beds instead of a double bed would be more beneficial for guests/families where sharing same bed is not ideal or perhaps appropriate. Will not say there was no freezer but could not locate one, although for short stays may be deemed unnecessary.

    Great outdoor space for children to play safely. Pet friendly is a major plus. Felt like a home to unwind and relax and enjoy the tranquil location. Spacious bedrooms and spotlessly clean throughout. Welcome pack on arrival was a nice touch as were the "mountain" of available towels. Would definitely consider a future visit.

    We wish we had of booked it for longer but there's always next time.

    Just back from an amazing stay at Cathleens Cottage, everything was exceptional from start to finish. Caroline the host was very attentive throughout our stay and the welcome basket she provided was such a lovely surprise. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Every window had the most beautiful views and we were lucky that the weather was perfect to sit out and enjoy a BBQ at the picnic table. The cottage was the ideal base to explore the Mournes and surrounding areas and we were also able to bring along our beloved dog which was brilliant as he enjoyed it as much as we did.

    Nothing, didn't like leaving

    Loved everything about this cottage, the views are great, even in January you could tell they get some amazing sunsets from the back of the house. Fire was great, everything so clean and our wee dog had a ball having the run of the large garden at front. Would recommend for a nice relaxing break, with good access to The Mournes.

    Cathleen’s Cottage was spotless. Everything that we needed was there along with a lovely welcome basket provided by Caroline. The cottage is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding attractions and we used the tourism leaflets that were provided to help us decide what to explore, great for exploring not only Newry & Mourne but also for a trip to Dundalk and surrounding areas. It’s a home from home and would highly recommend that you give this cottage a try ❤️

    Everything! This was a great location for long walks etc. Perfect for having our dog with us. We had 3 kids with us and they loved everything about it. The host let us know all information we needed the day before arrival, we really appreciated the little welcome gift! The open fire was lovely and kept us lovely and cosy! We will definitely be back sometime, might even be our yearly get away with the kids 😁
