True Connemara Experience
Our family adored staying at this wonderful home near Ballynahinch Castle. We rented bikes and rode the Greenway daily - it was amazing to have that literally at the front gate of the property! The house was spotless and the beds were all cozy. The kids fell in love with the cat on the property, and having sight of horses and sheep was just idyllic. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Modern Comfort Meets Nature's Bliss
Our recent stay at this charming cottage surpassed all our expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the spacious en-suite bedrooms enhanced our overall comfort. A highlight of our visit was undoubtedly its prime location on the greenway. The picturesque path to Ballynahinch Castle took our breath away. We also appreciated the convenience of renting bikes from the local shop, especially since they delivered right to our doorstep. Riding along the greenway, with the wind in our hair and the scenic views around, was a memory we’ll cherish. The surrounding property was equally beautiful, lush and well-maintained. This place strikes a perfect balance: it offers the serene isolation we sought, yet remains conveniently close to shopping and dining options. To sum it up, our stay here was nothing short of magical. The tranquillity of the location combined with the modern comforts of the house made for an unforgettable vacation. We wholeheartedly loved our experience here and would absolutely return.
