The Space
La Petite House is a small new building in the back of our garden. It is completely independent from our own house. But we are only a knock on a window away! It has also been described as a 'Granny Flat'!
Situated at the foot of The Mourne Mountains in a quiet residential area of Newcastle. Our little house has everything you need for an enjoyable stay.
You’ll have the run of the place, so you can live as you usually do, but in your new surroundings.
We are perfectly situated for people attending weddings in Newcastle, being no more than a 20 min walk from most hotels & a maximum of a 10 min (£4) taxi ride away from the furthest.

Guest Access
A flat screen TV with Freeview, electric shower, washing machine, WiFi & a brand new kitchen that's fully equipped with everything you need.


Ample parking outside the house or in driveway.
Travel cot & highchair on request.
Basic toiletries are provided.

Overview
We're situated at the foot of The Mourne Mountains and less than a 10 min walk to the town center, promenade & Harbour. The Royal County Down Golf Club & The Slieve Donard Hotel is a 20min walk away.
Tollymore Forest Park, 5mins drive caters for many outdoor activities including walking, horse riding and orienteering & has 4 waymarked trails of varying lengths. It also boasts panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and sea. It was also featured in the first episode of series one of Game of Thrones!!
Silent Valley and Ben Crom Reservoirs are a beautiful, inexpensive day out in the open fresh air and away from the crowds. Great cafe and good selection of walks both short and some for the more experienced.
Down Cathedral is a Church of Ireland cathedral in Downpatrick. It stands on the site of a Benedictine Monastery, built in 1183. Saint Patrick's remains are buried in the graveyard.

Discover stunning views, and the beauty of the landscape on a bike. There are many cycle routes for all abilities and tours available in the area.
Our guests can get a discount from a local Outdoor Adventure that offers everything from outdoor activities such as canoeing, mountain biking & bouldering..



Other Things to Note
Check-in time is set at from 3pm. But if there are no guest departing that morning, you can arrive at any time. If there are guests & you do arrive early, you can leave your bags with us in our house.
I've made 11 am check-out time though this is flexible if we have no one arriving that same day...

Can you please tell me how many beds need to be made up (1 or 2).

    Met Jay when we arrived who explained all to us. Lovely wee bolt hole for us as we were in the mountains all weekend so was very convenient. Very comfortable and clean. Would definitely use again

    We went to Newcastle to climb the Mournes, so the location of the house is incredibly close. It was the perfect choice for our break, a home from home. A few minutes walk and we were in the centre of town where we found great bars and restaurants. Highly recommended for a quiet place to stay and relax.

    The whole booking process and communication was very smooth, jay the owner, was very kind and let us check in a bit early which really helped our plans with the wedding we were attending. The place was clean and comfortable and had anything needed for a short stay. The surrounding area is beautiful and the directions given were first class. The price was great too considering the price of some of the local hotels. There was lots of information provided about the surrounding area and activities and ammenaties. Overall we had a fantastic overnight stay in the property and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Jay

    Much bigger than I expected. Very quiet just as I like it. Host wasn’t intrusive but was very friendly. Will book the petite house again in future visits.

    Lovely place to stay. As an elderly person (70) with mobility problems the bed was too low but that was my problem not yours! Bathroom was great. The kitchen had everything we needed. The facilities were super. We wondered why the family always blocked the entrance in the evening. We congratulate you on the property. You deserve credit. We hope to be back! We will recommend to our friends. Great website! We’ve had a great stay. Thank you. Jennifer Campbell.
