Quarvue Farmhouse, Unique house with views of Mournes and Cooleys

Great communication from hosts with directions for arrival. Cottage really comfortable and very well set up / equipped for a self catering stay. Good base for exploring and walking in the countryside - close to Newry town for good shopping and supplies. Wonderful scenery in the area. Highly recommended.

Liked everything.

The farmhouse was just fabulous, clean, comfortable and perfect for our stay. I would recommend it everyone and definitely stay again, in fact we already did!!! Only recommendation is that you drive there through Carlingford, don't follow the map directions over the mountains, small scary roads.

I can't think of a single thing.

The location was beautiful, the views are exceptional. We had the heating on timer and came back to a lovely, warm house each evening. We also lit the stove on a couple of evenings. We had everything we needed, towels, kitchen utensils, enough logs, turf and coal for our stay. The WIFI was brilliant for the kids and their electronics! We visited Carlingford which was only about 10 minutes drive away, Newry about 10 minutes drive. A Spring/summer trip would be fantastic, all there is to offer in Omeath, Carlingford, Newry and access to Northern Ireland via the Ferry and the good roads North. Our visit wasn't for sight seeing but it is a great base for doing so.

We have a daughter with Down Syndrome who has mobility difficulties and we worried about her with the stairs as they are very steep and narrow. She managed by crawling up and going down on her bottom and it was fine but not ideal .

The location is fantastic and warrants it name with all the beautiful scenery. It's so peaceful and tranquil you can forget about the world. The hosts have thought of everything the log burner and mini library etc but also wifi/tv if that's more your thing and they're such lovely people with so much local history knowledge and beautiful hand made quilt in the bedroom made on site by Suzanne. Really looking forward to be able to visit again 🙂

There was nothing we didn't like as such but it's easy to miss the turn off to bring you down to the property but that could just be us 🤣 and a small shelter over the table and chairs at the front would have been perfect in the wet weather, although none of this took anything away from our fantastic stay.

Hosts make you feel so welcome and give freely of their time with great recommendations of places to visit. House with great character, has everything your require and I mean everything, plenty towels, bed linen, kitchen equipment, toiletries and cleaning products. Great location between Newry and Omeath and Carlingford a short distance away with great restaurants. Stunning local views, great walks especially the Carlingford to Omeath greenway, visit to Slieve Gullion Forest park and trail well worth a visit and a great base for travel to explore Belfast 1 hour away. Thanks Suzanne and Seamus for sharing your house with us and making great memories.

Loved how secluded the home was but still close enough to Newry and Carlingford . Very quiet area and our hosts were wonderful . House itself was quaint and pretty . We had our own private entrance and garden area . The bedrooms were well laid out with plenty of storage and extra bedding if needed . The kitchen was clean and had everything needed to cook full meals if needed . Loved the sitting room , considering we were there during some of the hottest weather we have had in Ireland in twenty years it remained cool and fresh throughout our stay . I can only imagine how cosy the house would be in winter with the wood burning stove and oil fired centra heating going . We only lit the fire one evening but that was purely for the look of it 😊There were plenty of games to keep our daughter entertained also .

There was nothing we didn’t like really. The shower was a bit temperamental but manageable. Being from the countryside ourselves it’s to be expected in older houses but certainly did not affect us

Location at the end of a farm track off a minor road going uphill literally right after crossing the border. Great views across the valley. Lovely nicely-furnished cosy old farmhouse. Wonderful friendly owners who were always available helpful and full of interesting information. Good wifi and TV reception. Absolutely ideal for visiting Carlingford and other places on the Cooley Peninsula (e.g. Greenore with its unique Victorian tea rooms built by the LNWR in the 19th century and Finn the amazing dolphin down at the beach), hill and forest walks on Slieve Foy. Also good for trips over over the border to Flagstaff (spectacular 360 degree views), Newry, Armagh and Slieve Gullion (spectacular mountain drive up it) and further afield the Mountains of Mourne. We also drove down to the Boyne battlefield and the amazing stone age buildings at Newgrange. It was great to come back every day to our lovely little farmhouse. The girls loved going up the lane to stroke the horses in the field!

We had no real problems - the stairs were steep but we got up and down no problem.
