Mill Cottage - Downpatrick, Down

Mill Cottage is a tastefully restored stone cottage sitting on what used to be a working farmyard, full of old world charm yet offering every modern convenience and utility.

The cottage is part of the prestigious Slievemoyle Cottage group which won the 'Best New Tourism Business 2008' in the Down District 'Tourism Heroes Awards'. Built in the 18th Century much of the original character has been retained including including quarry-tiled floors, reclaimed pitch pine doors and floorboards, exposed stonework and deep windowsills. There are two comfortable bedrooms sleeping up to four persons and a garden area with patio and views over the rolling countryside.

A short drive away is Downpatrick which is home to Down County Museum, Down Cathedral, St Patrick's Visitor Centre and the final resting place of Saint Patrick, along with Saints Brigid and Colmcille. Downpatrick Race Course is home of the Ulster Grand National, and plays host to a series of meetings throughout the year. There is an indoor swimming pool, shopping and a wide choice of fine restaurants and pubs to meet the most discerning tastes.

Situated in the heart of County Down your choice of activities within a 30 mile radius is almost limitless. Spend a day in the Mourne Mountains climbing, hiking, or pony trekking. Relax on Newcastle promenade and beach, take the ferry across Strangford Lough to the Ards Peninsula. Not to mention the many castles, stately homes, parks and beaches within easy reach of the cottage.

Mill Cottage offers an opportunity to step back in time without relinquishing modern comforts and still be close to all the North has to offer including Belfast City which is less than an hour away.
