The 4 star Downshire Manor Apartment comprises half of the former Downshire Hotel and, as such, is bursting with original period features.

It has the potential to sleep eight people comfortably and provides ample space for all guests and their needs.
This fine Georgian building is also in a prime location, cosily nestled between the Mourne Mountains and the golden beaches of Dundrum Bay. The village of Dundrum itself boasts a coffee shop, two award winning restaurants, several pubs and plenty of local shops to stock up...Read more

New York City, New YorkComfortable and Convenient
Left on 08/18/2012 for a stay in July 2012
Patrick and Karen were very welcoming on our arrival, despite our showing up exhausted and several hours late due to a delayed flight. The apartment was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equiped and we made frequent use of the espresso machine. The location is great. Two fine retaurants as well as a first rate pub (the Tonn Ruray) are just steps away. There are plenty of scenic walking trails here. As for golf, this is truly heaven. And coming from the States, it was nice to be in a small town with the locals instead of on a resort with other tourists.

Excellent service from Karen and Pat and a very comfortable and well furnished apartment.
Location also excellent for Coastal and mountain walks. Very friendly bars and reasonably priced restaurants close by.
The only additional facility to improve our overall experience would have been a second shower -

Left on 06/07/2011 for a stay in May 2011
Excellent communication all the way made booking very easy and a very warm welcome on arrival, including a cream tea with home made scones. Plenty of room for our party of 7 (single room was small) with very comfortable beds and loads of fluffy towels. A very well equipped kitchen including the most amazing coffee machine. Lots of attention to detail and a lovely location, the whole Downshire Manor experience was a pleasure from beginning to end.

ChicagoWonderful accomodation in a Fabulous Location
Left on 04/14/2011 for a stay in March 2011
I had the most amazing weekend at the Downshire Manor apartments in March with some girlfriends. The apartments have been lovingly decorated in a style which is in keeping with this gorgeous old home. Location is superb in the heart of Dundrum within walking distance to the beach where we were able to walk 6 miles into nearby Newcastle which is a busy small town with some great coffee shops, shopping and Restaurants. Back in Dundrum we had a fabulous dinner at the Dundrum Inn then listened to some great music at the Tonn Ruray Pub just down the street. Karen and Patrick are very professional Landlords who went out of their way to accomdate us from the minute we made inquires into our reservation. Although I was there with some girlfriends I would higly recommend Downshire Manor apartments to families with children and anyone just looking for a great vacation in Northern Ireland. I look forward to returning again.

The owners were extremely obliging and helpful, and made the six of us feel perfectly welcome. The apartment is more like a house (we had the top two floors of this beautiful period guest house to ourselves) and downstairs is a great little cafe, not to mention the fabulous restaurant next door and the pubs across the street. A great getaway, conveniently located for sight-seeing and excellent value for money.

DerryWow! What a great place
Left on 08/17/2010 for a stay in August 2010
This is a magnificent house located in the lovely village of Dundrum. This house has been lovingly furnished and each room is finished to a high standard. From the fires set in the two sitting rooms with big comfy couches to the big kitchen table with allegro the coffee machine for beautiful coffee on tap. All of us loved the huge comfy beds ideal for the spacious bedrooms. We had a great night in the Mourne Seafood Restaurant which was right next door. With the tea rooms down stairs no cooking was required at all. The purpose of our trip was to go hiking in the Mournes and it was ideally situated for this purpose. Looking foward to going back here in the winter.

Girls' bookclub weekend trip
Holywood, Co Down, Northern IrelandA delightfully unexpected jewel of a find
Left on 06/03/2010 for a stay in May 2010
Going on the recommendation of a girlfriend who had stayed here before, and who raved continuously about this beautiful period townhouse, we booked in for the weekend with high expectations. There was no need for any worry - we were met by the friendliest of owners who showed us around our magnificent accommodation and there was nothing too small for them to sort out for us if anything arose during our stay. Occupying the first and second floor of a corner site, the sea views are delightful (must check out the loo with a view), the furnishings have been tastefully selected (my brand new bed was outstanding) and the rooms are so cosy with a real fire glowing in the evening. To top it all, the adjacent seafood restaurants are first class and of course Dundrum itself is as pretty as a picture nestling at the foot of the spectacular Mourne mountain range. Overall, a delightfully unexpected jewel of a find.

My family and I really enjoyed going to Dundrum, the house is spacious and
comfortable. The scenery is beautiful and the Sunday market is just 2 minutes
walk. The fish restaurant next door is a Must. Newcastle is a 10 minute drive
with lots of things for the kids to do. Long walks on the beach and good food.
Excellent will definately be back. -

UKTo The Manor Drawn.......
Left on 04/18/2010 for a stay in April 2010
After unsuccesfully searching for accommodation for 8 people in Newcastle - i tried nearby Dundrum. I was soon drawn to the spectacular Downshire Manor. It was first class! From the moment we arrived - Mrs Markey made us cappucinos from a coffee maker that would have made Mr Starbucks jealous - we could see we were in for a very comfortable stay. Very well equiped - a welcome pack not only containing the basics, but also coal/wood for the numerous open fires (and outdoor chimenea) plus wine and Gordons gin in the fridge!! The pubs are within a minutes walk - one has a bookies right next door, ideal for losing a fortune on the Grand National as all but one of us did - a great chippy over the road and a tea shop downstairs (lovely breakfasts).
We have already booked again for next year - say no more! -
