This is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful spot. Helen the host sent us very detailed instructions but we ended up at the house next door because it has the same name. Helens cottage is up the lane beside it and we were thrilled when we saw it. So peaceful and secluded and it gets the sun all day which was a bonus as Ireland was having fantastic weather. The garden is large and fenced in however a determined dog could probably a key an escape should they choose so we kept an eye on ours and it was fine. The house inside is very spacious but also cosy. Furnished very nicely with everything you might need for cooking in. There is a pub within walking distance which apparently does good food but only Thursday to Sunday so we missed out there. However Newry is just along the waters edge and we got a very reasonable and tasty Indian carry out from there. There is also a Sainsburys which was very easy to find and park at. The village has a shop at the garage for basics which you need to drive to and there is a wee off licence beside the pub across the road but expensive. So for choice and price Sainsburys would have been better. The area was beautiful and the views down onto the river from the cottage. Plus fabulous walks alongside either the canal one direction or the river the other way. After our stay we went to larne for the ferry. Only an hour and a half so perfect. Helen was just lovely and picked up quickly that we were fine and would make contact if we needed anything. Again for us perfect. We definitely want to return probably for longer. Fabulous place!
