MOUNTAIN COTTAGE

THATCHED MOUNTAIN COTTAGE

Sleeps 2.

Step back in time in this rustic luxury retreat in the High Mournes. Perched on the slopes of Butter Mountain the cottage was the homeplace of Paddy Grant a local Granite stonemason who emigrated from Ireland to North America.

This once-tumbledown vernacular mountain cottage is a piece of local heritage we are now proud custodians off; And have lovingly restored to its bygone, using local sustainable materials & traditional building techniques.

At over 1000 feet altitude, Soak up the mountain views from the Highest Holiday Cottage in Ireland; Relax in the outdoor hot-tub under the stars; Curl up with a book by the open fire; And waken to wooly sheep at your bedroom window as the sun rises.

Adventures on your doorstep include hiking up the popular Doan mountain from the cottage; And famous guests have included the Game of Thrones author George RR Martin & actor Hugh Jackman.

From £250 per night (2-night minimum stay).

Doing our bit to help nature

Close to our hearts is the natural world and protecting the countryside so the next generation can enjoy it too. We are returning our families nearby mountain lands to nature - including rewilding peat boglands & planting native trees, allowing biodiversity & wildlife to thrive there once again. This helps us offset our business’s impact including the wood used in the cottage’s stove, open fire and hot tub.
