Loved everything!

We had an incredible stay at this vacation rental in Ireland! Traveling with four kids can be challenging, but Suzanne and Seamus made everything so easy and enjoyable. They were the best hosts, welcoming us with open arms and providing thoughtful touches throughout our stay. The house was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for our family to spread out and relax. The kids absolutely loved the sheep farm nearby – it was such a unique experience for them! The hosts gave us plenty of privacy while also being available when needed, striking the perfect balance. We truly felt at home and can't wait to return! Highly recommend this place for families looking for a warm and welcoming getaway

What an absolute hidden gem. We had a wonderful two night stay at the farmhouse. The owners are lovely people. The farmhouse is so quaint and cosy and very well equipped with everything you need. Can't wait to return

Liked everything.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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

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 .

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

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!

Nothing

Convenient

Stayed in May 2022

a toilet downstairs would have been handy as the stairs were steep and a little tricky for maturer adults!

The farmhouse has real character . It was comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. If you want a flawless clinically clean environment don’t go to Quarvue. If you want a homely, clean, cosy house with a real sense of history and authenticity this is the place for you. The location is superb with panoramic views and the surrounding farmland is rich with bird life. The hosts are very welcoming and they gave up a lot of their time to make our stay very rewarding.

Just that the wooden stairs are quite steep and one needs to take care when descending.

Quarvue is an old farm cottage about 150 yards down a track off a minor road, up above the Newry River estuary - the road to Warrenpoint is visible across the river. Quarvue is in the Republic but just about 200 yards south of the border. It's not very large but quite adequate - the very friendly owners Susanne and Seamus have built a more modern section for themselves on at one side. We had an open fire - took me back to my childhood, with paper, kindling, firelighters and wood logs, and turf too. Central heating too, so it was warm and well equipped. A great location. Just 5 miles from Newry, or you can take the hill road to reach the M1 / N1 southwards, or down to Carlingford by the coast road. Having the old cowshed and pig sty labelled in Gaelic was interesting!

Lovely farmhouse. Perfect for exploring all day and relaxing at night.
