The stay in Ballymakellett was very pleasant. The area is wonderful for a range of short mountain loops and longer walks with beautiful views over Dundalk Bay. It is a good base for a trip around Omeath, Carlingford and the Cooley peninsula and a short hop to Newry or Belfast. Shane is a wonderful host and very welcoming. The accommodation included a bedroom and a separate 'help yourself' dining area, which was well-stocked with breakfast items. We loved the fruit salad! You would probably need a car/bike to get to it but I'm sure there may be an occasional local bus from Dundalk, about 8 km away.
