Great location to explore several areas. We did Tayto Park one day which is only 15 minutes away. We then spent a morning in Dublin which is about 45 minutes away and on the way back we went to Bettystown Beach. Great beach with shallow water, perfect for the kids. The beach is about 25 minutes from the cottage. Katherine recommended to stop at Carlingford on the way back to Belfast which we did. Lovely little village.
We were provided with 2 cotts which was great to save space bringing travel cotts. Great 3 night stay 👌
