Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Ards and North Down

Lovely place to stay, with plenty of room. Handy location that is close to amenities but not right in the middle of town. Friendly and helpful host.

We were a group of 5 friends and there was plenty of room for us all. Lovely open planned living room and kitchen with panoramic views, comfy beds and 2 bathrooms. John was extremely helpful and friendly in his response to messages. We had a wonderful night away and would definitely recommend.

Gail and David were lovely hosts. They made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful and with being out in the countryside it was peaceful and great for stargazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Some fairy liquid, tea towels, dish cloths and an oven mit would have helped. Some bed side lamps wouldn't have gone a miss especially for kids.

An amazing home in the heart of Bangor. Beds were amazing. Kitchen was great. Comfortable and very well designed

We booked this for 3 couples, the services provided were top of the range. Any questions we had the host answered. We spent two nights here and we will 100% be back again.

We loved our stay at Mast House. It was as atmospheric and quirky as we had hoped - and it was spacious, private, very well equipped, and really convenient for exploring the town. I know Portaferry pretty well, but I hadn't realised that such a large space and relaxing garden area lay behind the front door. We had lovely weather and made great use of the garden for eating and soaking up the sun. We certainly hope to return, and I'd really recommend Mast House to other visitors.

We had a lovely stay at Judenas for the weekend with the family. We had everything provided for us at the house that we could possibly nee, including baby bits, and the beds were so comfortable! Beautiful home with lovely walks all around - the neighbour was also super willing to help with anything we needed.

A very nice apartment which was clean, quiet, and spacious. Queen’s University is very close as is the Botanical Gardens and History Museum. The host was very responsive and quick with local suggestions. Cons: slightly involved actually getting to and in the apartment building. The BR with shower only was difficult to operate and wasn’t able to get hot water and the BR with combo shower/tub was scary getting in and out of being raised so far off the ground with a glass shield that unexpectedly moved. Would have liked an easier entrance exit situation for sure and less importantly could have used an extra towel. Overall, a good experience but being older will look elsewhere next time.

Beautiful stay. The apartment was very well equipped and clean. Close to local town, within walking distance. Would highly recommend!

Nice spot lovely views from building great hosts

We’ve stayed at Rob and Bex’s place a few times now and always enjoy our time there. Lovely character and comfortable in a fabulous location. Thanks to you both.

Amazing appartement with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathroom. The view is great, very clean place and very quiet. The shower is unreal. Also very nice host. Prosecco bottle and wine in the fridge was a brilliant suprise. Lovely weekend in Belfast, highly recommend!!

We stayed in this property for St. Patrick's Day and oh my it is stunning made this trip very comfortable and pleasurable. The decor to the cleanliness of the apartment was immaculate. The way I was communicated with and made to feel so much more comfortable helped the check in and check out. If possible I would have gave 6 stars.

We had a great time staying in Belfast at Mark’s place. Very walkable area, super close to shopping, restaurants and sites. If you want to enjoy the city this is very convenient and comfortable. Great views, too!

We needed a quick booking in Belfast due to an unexpected delay in our flight arrangements. Gary and his team were quick to respond to our request and needs. The apartment is well appointed and location is close to eateries. We were pleased with our two day stay.

Overall, we had a fantastic stay. The house is huge—perfect for a few nights of family time with kids. The rooms were incredibly spacious with insane views and we loved that sofa beds were also in the bedrooms, which made it easy for the kids to sleep close to us. The large bathrooms were a real treat, the utility room was super handy, and the kitchen had every utensil we needed to cook and entertain. The only downside for us was the heating. On the first morning, the house was freezing, especially the attic rooms, and I had to text the owner to ask for the heating to be turned on. While the owner was responsive and never objected, it still felt a bit awkward having to reach out every time. For a property of this size and at a rate of over £1300 for three nights, I would have expected to be able to control the heating ourselves. Despite this we would definitely recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

such an idyllic location and a fabulous house. we celebrated my sister's 60th birthday here with family. Mariners House was exceptional, so clean spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with with all equipment we required to cook. Great views and so peaceful. I did not want to.leave. Have booked again during summer months. Tracey was easy to communicate with and responsive to any questions I had.

We had a lovely stay at John’s place in Newcastle - there were 6 adults and two babies in our family group. Clear instructions were given for arrival and responses were very prompt when contacted. The house was very clean and well presented with everything we needed for our stay. The house was close to restaurants, shops and all amenities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the house to anyone wanting to stay in Newcastle and we hope to stay again in the future. Thank you

What a fabulous house! The pictures really don't do it justice. We had a fantastic weekend in this grand but comfortable and luxurious house. Cheryl was great, very responsive and was able to provide advice and support when needed. This is a great option for large get togethers and is well catered for dinner parties. The location is situated between The Balloo house for a lovely lunch and the Dufferin Arms for a cosy pint. Highly recommended.

wonderful accommodation, great value for money. the pools and hot tub were perfect for a rainy day
