Dog Friendly Accommodation - FAQ
Can I leave my dog in the cottage while I go out?
No, we ask that dogs are not left unattended in the cottages. If you need time away, we recommend using Kilbroney Kennels nearby.
Are there dog-friendly cafés nearby?
Yes! Rostrevor and Warrenpoint have several cafés and pubs where dogs are welcome — Pawfect Paws in Rostrevor has a dedicated doggy menu featuring everything from drool-worthy puppuccinos to gourmet bakery treats.
Are there good dog walks nearby?
Absolutely. Our cottages are surrounded by 20 acres of private land with nature trails right from your doorstep. Beyond that, you’ll find beautiful forest walks in Kilbroney Park, scenic promenade strolls at Warrenpoint, and longer hikes in the Mourne Mountains — all within a short drive. We’re happy to point you toward the best dog-friendly routes when you arrive.
