Relaxing stay in the heart of the Mourne Mountains
The house was lovely. The accommodation was great for us two families with teenagers. It was clean and had everything you need for a great stay. We travelled around the coast and very much enjoyed a visit to the Kilbroney park which Paul recommended. He’s a great host and very knowledgeable.

We booked this property at short notice after our original booking in the Mournes was cancelled two weeks prior. What a find. The location and property were amazing and there was plenty of room for 8 adults (all 55yrs+). Very relaxing stay. Thank you Paul :)

Excellent location
This barn sits in an idyllic location looking down across Carlingford Lough. The position is very private and the property isn’t overlooked. The accommodation is lovely although it would have been good to know there are two cross beams on the first floor that are really low (I’m 5’6” and I had to duck under them). No one knocked themselves out but we all bumped our heads at some point 🙈 Just one to watch.

Christmas at Crotlieve
Christmas at Crotlieve was magical. Even if the weather does not cooperate, the barn is cosy and comfortable and the views are terrific. Paul is a wonderful host, available to help or just chat without being obtrusive. I would highly recommend Paul and his property at any time of year. The only minor thing I would recommend ( and I mean minor ) is to obtain new double bed mattresses for the property.

The magic of Crotlieve
A perfect place to find peace and tranquillity at the top of the kilbroney valley. It was so easy to find good walks, easy to access the village and to access the sea. The Barn was spacious, five star quality accommodation with a fabulous view across the valley. The owner Paul was so lovely, sharing his stories of this part of the Kilbroney Valley and all it’s fascinating history and guiding us toward the best walks in the Mournes. We will definitely return in time.

Tree lovers idyll
A beautiful, warm and comfortable barn conversion overlooking Kilbronry Valley and Carlingford Lough, above the charming village of Rostrevor. The interior finish is of the highest standard and in excellent taste. Our host was very helpful and informative about the area. There is a wonderful estate park adjoining the village where there are hundreds of magnificent mature trees from around the world. The Crotlieve Barn is also close to another wonderful arboretum at Castlewellan, and not far from the magnificent Mt Stewart Estate and gardens. A perfect place to stay.

A beautiful home with stunning views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barn, and it was as lovely as described. Even though the weather was wet, we were able to enjoy the walks and Rostrevor village. We were very comfortable and were completely able to relax in the peaceful environment. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy this part of Northern Ireland. We would love to book the property again in the future.

Crotlieve is special !
We had a very friendly welcome from the owner ,Paul , who also provided a really interesting overview of the area and it's history .The welcome pack was also really appreciated . The property is really quite special and is in a great location with wonderful views down to Rostrevor , approximately 3 miles away and Carlingford Lough . Apart from being exceptionally comfortable and ideal for a break with family or friends ,there is a real feeling of luxury and an attention to detail in design and style . If you want to stay in a beautiful area and in a luxury property this is the place for you !
