"We very much enjoyed a lovely one night stay at the Avoca. We had the most fantastic view from our room overlooking the sea and Mourne mountains.
The room was really nicely decorated, cosy and had a large comfy bed. Everything was very clean and well presented.
All the staff we came across were so friendly and welcoming.
The breakfast was also excellent - great choice and plentiful.
Overall a real gem of a stay and we will definitely be back!"

"A truly wonderful find! Quiet, convenient, clean well appointed cottage, with attentive, friendly hosts. Good parking, near enough (by car) to the Mourne Mountains, Murlough, Tyrella and Ballykinler beaches and Newcastle. About a 45 min drive from Belfast. A great haven for peaceful outdoor pursuits or just getting away from it all. Will happily stay again! "
