The Orchard, 5 Star Luxury Accommodation

Informative, quick and host was lovely and very helpful

Good communication in advance and thoughtful welcome treats much appreciated. So glad we pivoted to this property, away from our original plan to stay in a hotel. Absolutely worthy of its five stars, it was the perfect place to bring together our grown-up family for the weekend of our 40th wedding anniversary. Production values for the refurbishment of the house were very high and there are so many beautiful things to be enjoyed - and the wow factor of the accommodation made its own contribution to the weekend. It’s perfectly located for a quick arrival from Belfast, without having to drive around Newcastle’s one-way system, very close to the Slieve Donard Hotel and Villa Vinci for eating, though Pauline‘s recommendation of Picolo pizza for a takeaway was also a good one. Greatly appreciated the warm welcome from our hostess on arrival and local knowledge which steered us away from an event bringing large crowds to the centre of the town and towards the Trassey Track for our access to the high Mournes. Lovely to have the hot tub and the open plan living area opening onto the garden to return to after a day’s hiking. An ideal spot to stay for exploring the countryside, or playing golf – but would also be great if the weather were bad, since the interiors are worth a journey in themselves.

We loved this house. The beds were comfy, the hot tub was lovely. The whole place was so nice to enjoy for the 2 nights we were there. Pauline provides so much detail. This is a beautiful home to stay in whilst visiting Newcastle. 10mins walk into town and supervalu very close. Just across the road. Amenities in the house were great too - coffee machine, hot top, good grill & oven. And Pauline provided a handwritten note, milk, tea bags and more for our stay. 100% would recommend to stay here.

Nothing.

Could not fault this place at all it was just lush 😍 everthing about the house was done to perfection, had everything you needed

Everything was perfect, there isn’t anything we could complain about. The private hot tub was fabulous and the house is only a short walk from the town which is very ideal. The bedrooms made everyone just feel at home, the beds were so comfortable. The house was equipped with all the essentials. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone.

There is nothing that we all didn’t enjoy, it was perfect.

Everything, wish it had one more bathroom upstairs

A beautiful property. Perfectly remodeled and exceptionally comfortable. The host left us a very nice assortment of local pastries which was an exquisite touch.

We liked everything about the property.
