Rostrevor Holidays

Nestled in the south-facing foothills of the Mourne Mountains, Carnaclasha and Owenabwee 5-star Houses offer modern luxury in beautiful surroundings.From the large sitting room windows guests will enjoy the view across the 24-acre peaceful farm on which Rostrevor Holidays is situated, right down Kilbroney Valley to Carlingford Lough.

With spacious ensuite bedrooms these houses are ideal for groups of friends or families looking to get away for a relaxing break. Both children and adults will enjoy the wild-flower garden that surrounds the houses, and which attracts a whole range of butterflies during the summer. From the houses, you can join the private nature trail that runs alongside the Yellow River before following the outskirts of the farm for 1.5km.

Kitchens fitted out in light oak have local Mourne Granite worktops and all the modern conveniences, including a dishwasher, oven , microwave and food processor, plus washing machine and dryer. The cosy sitting rooms (Owenabwee has a large open fire, whilst Carnaclasha has a Jotul wood-burning stove) are comfortably furnsihed with deep sofas and chairs.

Warmly carpeted bedrooms, offer a combination of 2 twin rooms and 1 room with a double and a single bed. The twin beds are zip-linked, so they can also make king size beds. Each bedroom offers privacy and space, with remote controlled television, chairs and plenty of storage space in large built in wardrobes; cots and high chairs are available on request.
