Beautiful holiday home

The location is perfect for exploring the area. The kitchen is very well equipped. The children loved the backyard and the fact that the beach was just across the street. Plenty of room to spread out in the house. Maura was very accommodating to us checking in early welcoming us with a lovely welcome package.

Fabulous!

We stayed at Dolly’s Cottage for the weekend while attending a wedding nearby. We were with my parents and our two young children aged 3 and 1.What a fabulous house! The views are stunning and the house is so comfortable and cosy we didn’t want to leave.Maura has thought of everything you could possibly need, it is the best equipped holiday cottage I have ever stayed at. She even had boxes of toys for the children to play with.We had the most wonderful stay and would love to come back again one day!

A special second stay :)

Our second stay at Dollys Cottage. Such a beautiful house in a special part of the country. A warm welcome with a bottle of wine and a basket of treats :) We had such a lovely time, swimming in the sea with the children, playing in the park. The Whistledown is a lovely spot for dinner with beautiful views.So grateful, we hope to stay again in the future :)

Beautiful home and location

We loved our stay. The house was extremely clean and comfortable, even better than the photos. Maura was responsible and friendly and clearly takes pride in the property. We ranged in ages from 4 to 70 and house and gardens enjoyed by all. Easy walk to restaurants and shops as well. Not to mention the gorgeous view of the bay! Thank you, Maura!

Comfort with an UNBELIEVABLE VIEW

A large group of us went to Ireland on a vacation that should have happened in 2020. Seven of us stayed at Dolly's cottage, it was perfect. Spacious and comfortable with the view of the Mourne Mountains, absolutely breathtaking. Maura was so kind and helpful. Would recommend this place 100% five stars all around.

Gorgeous house and landlord lovely

My family and I have used Dolly's Cottage on 2 occasions visiting family in Warrenpoint. The owner Maura is lovely. Her house is immaculate and has everything and more than you need to enjoy your stay. The views and the gardens are beautiful. The welcoming gifts which included Easter Eggs for the kids went down very well. Dollys Cottage is beautiful inside and outside. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Warrenpoint and looking for a holiday home then visit Dolly’s Cottage.

A fantastic break had by all. Stunning views from a premium front row seat. It is such a comfortable and sound proof house with a lovely homely feel. Maura pays great attention to detail satisfying every need. She is on hand should you need her. I’ve lived half my life in Warrenpoint and was never aware of this little jewel.

Brilliant

Lovely spacious house immaculately presented and in a fantastic location overlooking the Lough. Was really well equipped inside throughout and the back garden was a fantastic little peaceful haven. Walking distance (5mins) to main shopping streets where cafes and restaurants stay open late 7 days a week. Really nice vibe in Warrenpoint village. Totally recommend this property and location. Maura the host was very welcoming and helpful. Brilliant !

Best home in town

I can’t say enough about Dolly’s Cottage….its the second time we’ve stayed there and it truly is the most beautiful place in town. Our extended family rented a total of 4 other cottages in town and none of them came close to being as nice as ours. The home is not only beautifully decorated but has every possible kitchen item you could possibly need. Plenty of towels, soaps, and detergents were provided as well as some treats and milk, butter at check in to get you by until getting to the market. The beds were super comfortable, family room seating enough for 8 adults and spacious bathrooms. The flowers and garden were exquisite and the view was unreal. It will ALWAYS be our choice when we visit Warrenpoint. Maura and her husband are always available should you need anything and are the nicest people.

Dolly's Cottage, special, due to Maura

My lovely mam nearly died last year in hospital. Through great love, support and prayers we gir her home and she recovered. I promised mam I would take her back to Ireland to see her family and I did. On our adventure, we had the extra magic of staying at Dolly's cottage. My mam didn't want to leave this beautiful, peaceful house. My mam's garden at home saved her also, as did Dolly's little bit of magic. Maura was exceptionally thoughtful with my mam regarding her mobility issues. A magical, peaceful place, outstanding beauty and the birds in the garden, just lovely. This place will drop your shoulders. Thank you Maura lovely lady.

A 60th birthday made memorable

To say this was perfect in every way would not be enough. We cannot describe how absolutely perfect everything was, Marua's home is so beautiful in every way, and the view just adds to the beauty. A most relaxing and enjoyable stay truly a home from home. Thank you so much Maura you made a 60th birthday very memorable. The McConnell sisters.

Ideal holiday house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful. The view from the front of the house is so beautiful. It was wonderful to see the sea and mountains while relaxing with a coffee. The back garden was stunning. The house is decorated to such a high standard. I've never been to a holiday house with such a well equipped kitchen. Brand new appliances and every utensil and piece of delph you could need. The location is perfect with the beach across the road and the main street an 8 minute walk. Maura was very helpful with anything we needed and tips about where to eat out nearby. We hope to come back again next summer.
