Kingfisher Cottage is a peaceful countryside escape tucked away near Downpatrick, offering a gentle, slow-paced break surrounded by nature. Set entirely on one level, this cosy riverside hideaway is ideal for guests with limited mobility. It features level entry, a spacious layout, and an accessible shower room with a step-free shower, making day-to-day movement simple and comfortable. What makes this place especially memorable is its setting. Many guests say drifting off to the sound of the river is one of the best parts of their stay. The cottage is a one-of-a-kind eco-home, designed and hand-built by your hosts, Rachel and Tom, using natural materials and sustainable methods. It feels tucked away from the world yet is still close to the Mourne Mountains, Strangford Lough, and County Down’s beautiful coastline. Inside, a bright and airy open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove keep the space warm and inviting, while large windows frame views of the surrounding landscape. The well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to settle in and enjoy home-cooked meals, and the sheltered terrace is perfect for outdoor dining, listening to the river and birdsong as you unwind. Families feel especially at home here. Children have plenty of space to play in the large fenced garden, which overlooks the hosts’ vegetable patch and fruit trees, and there are games and toys provided to keep younger guests entertained. While access to the river is available, the garden itself is securely enclosed for peace of mind. Kingfisher Cottage strikes a lovely balance between seclusion and convenience. Friendly local pubs are just a couple of miles away, and the mountains, coast, and walking trails are all within easy reach. Many returning guests describe the cottage as somewhere they instantly feel at ease, thanks to the calming connection between the cottage, the garden, and the surrounding landscape. Recent updates include a second bedroom with twin beds, new garden furniture, and a refreshed barbecue area, making the cottage even more welcoming. Rachel and Tom previously lived here during the winter months, so the cottage has been shaped and improved through lived experience—adding to its warmth and charm.
