The property

Ritas is a pleasant, detached holiday home resting just outside the little harbour town of Kilkeel in County Down.

With a nice location near the sea, an enclosed garden with a barbecue and a toasty woodburning stove, this property is ideal for friends and families seeking a serene escape to the coast of Northern Ireland.

Step inside your new abode and you'll find a handy single-storey layout that will prioritise ease throughout your stay.

First up is the kitchen/diner which is where the chef of the group can cook some culinary classics which can be shared at the dining table while you plan what adventures are up next.

When you need some downtime, head to either the sitting room for some TV or the snug where you can get lost in a good book and keep toasty in front of the woodburning stove.

In the summer months, fire up the barbecue in the garden and enjoy some grilled favourites under the rays of sunshine!

A ferry operates daily on the hour throughout the summer, offering a convenient and popular route to Carlingford town, with the terminal conveniently located just half a mile from the property.

When the sun sets, head to one of four well-appointed bedrooms to catch your rest.

There are two doubles, one with an en-suite for added privacy, a twin and a single.

Servicing these is a slick shower room, perfect for taking a nice rinse to get yourself freshened up for the day.

Once you’re ready to venture out, step into the great outdoors and explore all the wonders the local province has to offer, including a 13th-century Norman castle just half a mile from the house.

Head to Cranfield Beach for a lovely stroll by the sea or head inland and explore Mourne Park, Woodland Trust.

On your travels pay a visit to the coastal town of Kilkeel and visit its harbour and indulge in some fish and chips while you're there!

There are plenty of hiking areas such as Rocky Mountain, Slievemeen and Slievefadda.

Time your holiday right and visit Santa's Cottage Hilltown which has Santa's home, the elve's workshop, Rudolph and light shows!

Finally, you can cross the border into the Republic of Ireland and visit the stretch of coastline that houses Carlingford Castle, the yearly Carlingford Oyster Festival or head into Dundalk for a nice day out.

Enjoy a charming, coastal escape at Ritas.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.

About the location

KILKEEL

Newcastle 13 miles; Newry 18 miles; Belfast 50 miles

Kilkeel, a well-stocked harbour town, sits as the main fishing port on the Down coast and is one of Ireland's major fishing fleets. Hosting its 14th century church and laying just south of the glorious Mourne Mountains, this is one of Northern Ireland's finest holiday spots. The town itself boasts a pretty marina and a wealth of friendly spots to shop, eat and drink. For a worthy day trip, a short drive up the coast will take you to popular Newcastle, a charming coastal resort with seaside entertainment and much to see and do. A journey inland leads you towards the city of Newry which promises a memorable visit with much to keep you occupied including sightseeing and shopping. A lengthier drive away is Northern Ireland's capital, Belfast, a place packed with culture and fascinating attractions.
