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

comfortable and private with the hot tub a bonus 😊

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 😊

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Everything was perfect, nice jacuzzi, very spacious house, everything what you need to stay included (pans, pots, cups..), very clean inside. One thing what wasn’t perfect was smell from cows farm which is very close to house (not whole day, just from time to time), if somebody don’t have a problem with that and like “country side vibes) I’ll say its 10/10 👍

We had a wonderful stay, we brought our 2 dogs and all thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Aileen is a superb host, always on hand to answer any questions or just have a quick chat. We enjoyed watching the horses and chickens being attended to throughout the day and the hot tub was a lovely way to end the days after walking along the beach or hiking in the mountains. 100% recommend

What a treat! Hosts were very helpful and responsive, brimming with local recommendations. Boat is just as beautiful as pictured. The barge is very stable, so it’s hard to tell you’re on a boat, until another boat goes by, you feel the slight movement, and are reminded that you’re actually on a boat yourself!

perfect location. The apartment had everything that we needed. Will definately book again. cannot recommend it highly enough

Lovely residence exactly as described even down to little things like fresh flowers in every room and fresh milk in the fridge. Bed lovely and comfy so had excellent nights sleep. Would highly recommend.

Great stay in a very well equipped apartment. A bit outside the city centre but with enough (mainly non-European) food options in walking distance. But buss is around the corner, and an Uber is around 10 pound. Communication was perfect and always quick and easy! Highly recommendable accommodation

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.

Such a lovely clean and modern cottage! We felt very comfortable and well looked after! Thank you to the hosts and would some back for sure!

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.

It was exactly as Karla said it would be. I made an error on our end and needed an extra set of sheets and she delivered promptly at the end of the day when she got off from work! The house is beautiful with amazing history! READ the history and look at her renovation details. Absolutely PERFECT!!!! EVERYTHING! Her recommendations were all spot on! Take her list of recommendations and use it! Thanks Karla! Wonderful family wedding and vacation we will all NEVER forget❤️

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.

Great property once inside, very close to tram/bus routes and really good cafes, bars & restaurants. Directly outside the property is not pretty as it’s a commercial area with lots of bins but don’t be put off by this as overall the property itself and the general locality are spot on. Would definitely return

Stayed for 2 nights with two friends, the sofa bed was made already when we arrived as we had 3 quests staying which was so thoughtful, the hosts were wonderful and easy to talk to! (And have such a lovely dog!), all the amenities were easy to use and they had the WiFi code etc supplied. Lovely check in + check out, and the hosts were always willing to answer any questions. Genuinely lovely stay and so nice, the space is beautiful as well and very walkable if you've never been to Belfast before. : ]

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!

we spend a wonderful week in Anne's cottage despite the weather did not want to please us all times. However, even on the wirst days we enjoyed the cottage before we could get out again into the great nature. Everything you need for a good holiday is in the cottage, very offen more than you need or wish. But the very best is Anne's friendly advice and help whenever you need. Particular her friendlyness makes you feel at home immediately. Whenever we will be back in this area we will try to stay with Anne.

exactly as described, great location, tesco just over the road and 20 min walk into town max! wills mum was so lovely at check in and apartment was exactly what we wanted for a long weekend in belfast!

Great stay at Helen's place in the heart of Newcastle. She was very helpful and responsive. Would definitely visit again.
