- john (10/5): Absolutely perfect for that little break away - We loved everything about cabra cottage absolutely beautiful The only thing we would change would be somewhere inside the cottage to hang and dry our wet cloths and towels but that is it
- MATTHEW (10/5): Everything about our 3 nights stay at Cabra Cottage was perfect, it was a little piece of heaven - The location was stunning and the views all around took our breath away. Definitely this beautiful cottage was in a superb location. The cottage itself was lovely with everything you needed. The snacks and Prosecco left were such a nice gesture and was very much appreciated. Sitting in the hot tub in the sunshine after a busy day and looking out at the view was like a little piece of heaven. We will definitely be returning to Cabra Cottage, it was so relaxing and peaceful and just what we needed. Thank you so much John and Grace. To be honest there was nothing we didn't like, we had everything we needed and more during our stay.
- Seán (9/5): Quality property… A hidden gem - Location was great, rural and secluded. Presentation of the property was superb, obviously renovated to a high standard, with quality furniture. Small and compact but perfect for a couples retreat. Would highly recommend.
- Claire (10/5): An exceptional stay with a perfect blend of comfort, style, and hospitality. - Amazing stay from start to finish. The place was spotless, beautifully designed, and felt like a home away from home. The host was welcoming and responsive, and the location was perfect. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend! The hot tub and its view at night is amazing

Only thing I can say about Cabra Cottage is...I can't wait to go back 🥰
- Pat (10/5): I had a great time, and I left with the feeling of wanting to return again soon! - What a beautifully and sympathetically restored vernacular Irish Cottage this is,complete with exposed original stone, both inside and out, as well as boasting all of the comforts modern day renters require. The view is stunning, and the beautifully lit outside area brings into focus the amazing hot tub , raised to allow panoramic views of the valley below. The little touches bring a lightness to the home, from the welcome sign on the gate to the wonderfully chosen ornaments at the entrance and by the fireside. I would highly recommend this cottage This was a last minute booking , and I didn’t arrive until 10 pm. I’m only sorry that I didn’t have more time to immerse myself fully into the cottage experience
- Alan (10/5): Great location for a quiet getaway - Lovely setting, private and well finished. Nothing
- McKim (8/5): - Beautiful location extremely clean and the hot tub was fantastic Only one thing which was disappointing the bed was uncomfortable due to being able to feel the springs
- Leanne (10/5): -
- Kathleen (10/5): The perfect couples get away - The best weekend stay! Hot tub, view, cottage we’re outstanding- lots of cute wee touches that made us feel so welcome and loved, like a goodie basket with bubbly and fresh milk/juice in the fridge.
- Nicole (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay, will definitely be back! - We had an amazing stay at Cabra cottage. From the relaxing hot tub to the lovely hamper that was left for us.

- Ervine (10/5): Fab stay at this Hidden Gem - We had a fantastic time away in Cabra cottage! It was great that we could bring our dog and be able to enjoy the hot tub whilst he roamed about as the area was fully enclosed. A little hidden gem that we will definitely return to soon!

- Mckenzie (9/5): Superb - Everything was exactly as described and in the most beautiful setting. The cottage has been renovated with care and love.

Only negative is the window in the bedroom and front door, a little blind during the summer months.

The attention to detail was fantastic and I don’t know who was more relaxed us or our dog!
The cottage has a real warmth to it with added personal touches from fresh milk/orange juice in the fridge to locals guides provided by John & Grace.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return in the future!

- Clinton (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing hidden gem of a spot in the Mourne Mountains, from the time we arrived till the time we left , could not fault anything,
From the welcome snacks pack and Valentine's package ,
Fresh milk and orange juice with a very well chilled fridge,
Hotub and views were the icing on the cake , if I give any couples anything from this review, wait till dark to have your relaxing time and drinks in the hotub
Pics don't do this hidden gem justice, I'll leave a few of mine I got here with review 100% 5☆ all way wanted for nothing .
A massive thanks to John and Grace for making myself and my Girlfriends first Valentine's together so memorable and magical.
We will definitely return again for a future visit .

- Niall (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional - It was quiet and secluded which i thought was perfect. The hot tub was well prepared and ready for use right away. The welcome snacks was a nice touch. Not a criticism at all just a suggestion. A microwave would be useful. Small sachets of butter left in the fridge would be great. A guide left on how to operate the under floor heating. At times I thought it was cold . A blind on the door on the window.
- Rebecca (10/5): Fantastic, will deffo be back😁 - It was amazing, spotless, snacks and all left out for us. Well worth a visit Nowhere delivers takeaway or food etc but thats no fault of the cottage its just very derilict
- Leanne (10/5): Pure peace - Beautiful wee cottage, decorated to a very high standard. Definitely a wee hidden gem with lots of personal touches. Nothing to dislike
- William (10/5): Exceptional - 10 /10. From the time we entered the property it was welcoming and the finishing in the cottage was so homely.
The fixings and furnishings are 5 star and the attention to detail....everything at hand to fresh juice and milk supplied in the fridge with a little goody bag ..
The host had contacted us prior to arrival to inform us if any problems to inform them. They then supplied us with 2 contact numbers
The hot tub had stunning views of the country side and really private. Notting to fault . Have stayed in 5 star hotels and they wouldn't be as good as this place
- Mccann (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophie (9/5): Superb -
- Ally (10/5): Mournes hidden gem - Fabulous relaxing break, exceptionally
high quality finished traditional stone cottage nestled in the mournes. Hot tub with stunning views, great hosts and high standards of customer care. Perfect for a romantic getaway, it feels like home, highly recommend
- Megan (10/5): I would definitely come back just don't know if I would cook again at the property. - The location was beautiful and so was the view. Really enjoyed the hot tub was so relaxing and we got sunny days to experience the fresh countryside air. The property itself exceeded expectations it felt so cosy and yet with a modern twist the bathroom and bedroom were of most cleanliness. No hairdryer at the property had to ask for one where the property owners were of most assistance. If people were to come and cook food I feel there needs to be more utensils such as wooden spoon Tongs and more than just one pot and pan this made preparing dinner quite a difficult task. I loved the touch of the kettle being put on the stove but I feel like a kettle that you could plug in would be a little better advertised
- Daren (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely cottage done very well and modern. Nice to be rural and have peace a quiet. Very well kept The only thing I could recommend but it definitely wouldn't put me off coming back would be some sort of roof or enclosure for the hot tub so you can still enjoy it while in the good old Northern Ireland weather which is unpredictable
- Rose (10/5): Uh-mazing!!! - The attention to detail and the stunning views I would have loved their to have been a guest book so I could have left a lovely message and thank the hosts directly. And maybe a hair dryer as I hadn't thought to bring mine 🤭
- Orla (10/5): The perfect place to relax and rewind! - A stunning property inside and outside. The hosts were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend this property, will definitely be back!
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location....very peaceful....brilliant facilities...including free WiFi, hot tub, outside dining, very clean & tidy... hosts have put every effort into this little cottage... We will definitely stay again...10 out of 10.... Everything from the quiet location to the modern features and exilent finishing touches that the hosts made & easy access to Hilltown, Castlewellan and Newcastle.
- Curtis (10/5): 10/10 -
- Damian (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay in. Beautiful cottage and the view is amazing 😊 Highly recommended 👌
