Location Friendly and accommodating staff, nothing was too much bother. Clean hotel, even smelt fresh as you walked the corridors. Great upgrade. Food was excellent in the evening and such a beautiful variety of breakfast options. Breakfast was delicious. Heating in room and a heated towel rail.

Our Host Emily, emailed me the day before we arrived with the details how to get to the house & how to access the keys. I needed to ask a few more questions before our arrival and she got back to us very quickly. This weekend was a tonic for me and my friends, a group of mums looking to escape the craziness of everyday life. The weather was cold, windy and it rained all weekend...but we didn't care. Everything we needed was at Oaktree, a great kitchen to cook in, roaring fire, games and streaming services. We all had enough space to have our own time to relax and a common space in the kitchen to come together. Emily was an excellent host and was available when you needed her. We cant wait to run away again to Oaktree Manor

Just back from a fabulous stay at Annsborough House. It exceeded our expectations. Michael, the host met us on arrival and explained how various facilities worked . The house was clean and comfortable and the facilities were fantastic. Especially the hot tub and disco room which was enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Location was ideal for visiting lots of local attractions. Plenty of space in this house, with 9 bedrooms (3 with double beds!). We'd love to go back someday.

Fantastic location, great and friendly staff, private direct outdoor room access was a fantastic help with the dog. The room was very comfortable and the property had many locations to stroll and relax at. Darren was super welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be.

Sarah and John were just fabulous! They were the perfect hosts! The setup here is perfect for a family or two couples. They have 2 rooms upstairs with a common area including mini-fridges and a TV in between the rooms. We ran a bit late when we drove from Dublin. Not only did they wait up for us, they gave us food recommendations for nearby. Their house is great with ample parking and family antiques for decor. The location is a bit off the beaten path but it's still near plenty of sights including Castle Ward, Inch Abbey and Tollymore Forest Park. The bathroom was very nice, as was the shower, and was so clean it felt new. Breakfast was great and it was made to order, which means we got exactly what we wanted and it tasted amazing. We will plan on a stay here again next time we are in the area!

    Cottage was fantastic very quiet and very comfortable it has all you need big garden for the kids and lynda was very good host and will do her up most to see that you are OK with Cottage. Me and wife and the two oldest grandchildren will be looking to go back in the future as we loved it that much great view of the mountains and no noisy neighbours just cows and sheep. So thanks again lynda
