Family-friendly holiday rentals in County Down

stayed at Caroline's to celebrate a friend's upcoming nuptials. We enjoyed all the amenities, hosting yoga on the astro, an evening in the hot tub and a dance class on the patio. we ate in with some catering and the basics were all there with lies of kitchenware. Caroline had very kindly set up an afternoon tea for our arrival which was a delightful surprise.

Booked this house for a wee treat getaway for my mother who just went through cancer treatment with a bunch of girls & we had the best time from start to finish. The place was beautiful very spacious, had everything we needed & we really enjoyed the hottub. The host was so helpful & answered any questions i had within seconds. Would definitely recommend this place

Orla's property was a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life. A beautiful wee gem in nature, log cabin exactly as pictured, clean with all facilities to enjoy your stay. Orla was very responsive to any questions asked. We are glad we got the added extra of the hot tub, which was lovely to relax and take in the stunning views of the sun setting. We fell in love with their beautiful dogs Marti and Gerry it was lovely to get a wee visit, they were very friendly. We would definitely recommend their accommodation for an escape. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you 😊

The location of this house so near to the beach is just lovely. The area, at the base of the Mourne mountains is also lovely, the granite stone walls are particularly cool. The village of Annalong is quiet and you would need a car to get around the area. Well stocked Circle K shop very nearby and the pizza from YoYo was delicious. The owner next door was so friendly and helpful and I fully intend on staying again.

An excellent cottage and location for a family get-away. The cottage has a wonderful view and all of the comforts necessary for a restful break. For us, the hot-tub really made the place stand out.

Castle Barmeath was an incredible Airbnb experience. Lord & Lady Bellew showed us around their 400 Year old Castle which has remained in their family all this time. I’m just amazed at how history one place can hold. There was about 300 acres surrounded by stone walls. Trails trough a gorgeously manicured forest with many trails leading to secrete walled gardens full of fruit trees and flowers. There was even a natural swimming pool and stone bridge over a lake. I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience something so grand and magical!

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

There were 7 of us and we found the house to be spacious, clean and tidy, in beautiful surroundings. It was a good base to travel to neighbouring towns. Overall we had a great time in a beautiful house.

Harlan barge was a wonderful adventure that created lasting memories for us. We planned this trip in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid. Gillian was an amazing host and very responsive. I am certain you will enjoy your stay.

We had an unexpected family emergency and find this jam. Family had to travel in from a couple of different countries and the host was so flexible and so helpful. We love this place and will stay here again. Great views great space for having to work clean functional a hidden jam. Thanks so much.

We had a fantastic stay at Sarah-Jane and Alison’s Airbnb! The location was perfect – close to everything we needed – and the space itself was spotless, tidy, and had everything required for a comfortable stay. Communication was excellent throughout, and the instructions provided were simple and easy to follow. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you both!

We had a great stay with our dog and even messier toddler. Bronach showed us around the property and gave us some great local tips for dog walking. Bronach generously gave us some groceries to get us started and lots of toys for our toddler to play with. Would definitely go back.

Jay was there to meet us when we arrived, he was very friendly and helpful with lots of local tips. The location was close to town and the trailhead at Donard Park. The space was large and comfortable. Recommended

A lovely presented cottage in the countryside. Great for a holiday when you want to be outside the cities and towns. There are great places to visit from this area both locally and further afield. There are historical areas of interest, beautiful countryside, and even a local micro brewery. If you love poetry visit the Kavanagh centre in Inniskeen. You do need a car to get around but it is worth the effort to get aquainted with the area especially the towns, restaurants and the lovely tea shops. Highly recommended.

Peters Place was wonderful, private. loved being on the farm with the animals. the surrounding area it was all perfect. Lots of area to walk and wonder. Peter offered great suggestions on things to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Our family had a fantastic 5-night stay at "The Bank" in Portaferry! The location couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of the town. What made our stay truly special was the heritage charm of the property. So many details still reflect its history as an old bank, and that unique character really added to the experience. We especially loved the cosy fireplace, which made those cold, dark winter evenings feel warm and inviting. Plus, everything in Portaferry was just a short walk away, making it super convenient to explore the area. Having a Eurospar right across the street was such a bonus too! We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would recommend "The Bank" to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.

We had a great 2 night stay at Barry’s apartment. It’s exactly as described and the location was about a 20 minute walk into the City. There is a bus stop just outside the apartment if needed. My husband did use the earplugs supplied as there is a bit of road noise. Barry’s communication was excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

This is an excellent apartment. So close to the city centre and very quiet. Very easy to get to and from the city walking across the railway bridge which is closest to the apartment and a second bridge just 5 mins away. The beds were great. It felt very safe and only one floor up it was easy to access the car if we needed anything. And the lift is great when bringing luggage. Lovely view of the river. I would have liked more pots and pans in the kitchen as we do like to cook and try the local produce especially that St George's market is a 10 min walk away. We did not use the car only once to explore the coastline. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay, it was perfect for what we needed. Lovely cafe and green grocers below as well. Will was really friendly and very easy to communicate with. Would stay again!

Karen's flat is really cool, so central to Belfast and near the Titanic. Karen gave lots of suggestions for places to eat and drink and I enjoyed many. My new favourite drink is a baby guinness. I went on a really interesting historical walk too, called Conflicted Stories walk. So lot's to enjoy and feed your mind in Belfast.

Apartment was great and easy to enter and exit. It was a very close walk to where our tour was and city hall. The host was excellent and so very kind. There were a few questionable characters in the back alley or wandering around at night but otherwise felt safe in the area.

We had an amazing stay, apartment was absolutely spotless and decorated to such higher standards, hosts were very helpful with everything. Location was brilliant, would definitely stay again😊

A Great little apartment near Queens College, clean, easy checkin, comfortable beds, and a hot shower

Gillian’s place is a Lovely cosy house set in beautiful countryside, very quiet and private place it was ideal for our needs. We travelled to the Balmoral Show during our stay. We ate in local restaurants in Saintfield which were also very tasty with very pleasant staff We really enjoyed our stay Thank you Gillian
