At Ballyroney Cottage B&B, we aim to be as self sufficient as possible. For breakfast you can enjoy our delicious home produce including honey from our bees, jams and compotes from our own home grown fruit, free range eggs from our very happy hens, goats milk & home made yoghurt, home baked scones & wheaten bread, etc.
All of our home produce is available to purchase from our small farm shop: An edible gift for someone back home or for yourself as a tasty reminder of your stay with us. |
If you would like to get away from it all, this is the place for you! You’re welcome to take a stroll in our one acre garden – you’ll probably get to meet some of our very tame hens & peacocks !
If you have always wanted to stay on a farm, how would you like to help out on our small farm, collect the eggs or milk a goat? If that seems like too much hard work, you can watch TV or have a quiet read in the lounge. On chilly evenings, relax in front of the cosy wood burning stove. For a taste of what you will find, check out the You Tube video from the BBC TV programme “Made in Northern Ireland” when Stephen Nolan came to visit! (It’s the last 8 minutes of the programme). |
Perhaps you might like to try your hand at milking Honey the goat !

What to do while you stay with us
|
The spectacular Mourne Mountains are on our doorstep. We can lend you a map and directions for hiking according to your fitness level. There are many places for mountain biking such as the exciting trail at Kilbroney Forest Park, Rostrevor. If you prefer a round of golf on a course which hosted the Irish Open Championship in 2015, the Royal County Down Golf Course is located in the nearby town of Newcastle.
Alternatively, the beautiful Castlewellan Forest Park is a few miles away with beautiful scenic walks, the Peace Maze and a mountain bike trail. Next stop could be the nearby Tollymore Forest Park, one of the film locations used by Game of Thrones. There are also lots of very quiet roads around our house if you fancy a peaceful, scenic stroll before breakfast, without having to go anywhere in the car. |

TESTIMONIALS:
“Awesome place! It’s spacious, quiet and comfortable. Vanessa and Russ are friendly and fun to hang out with. We could not have had a better experience!” (Alabama)
“Vanessa and her husband are amazing hosts, and the house is just lovely. The breakfast was superb and the food is so fresh. The eggs, milk, honey, and tomatoes were right from the farm. The jams and yoghurts are homemade and delicious. I tried them all. The lambs were a riot. If you want to get away from everything and relax, this is the place to be.”
(Georgia)
“My sister and I spent a couple of days at Vanessa’s cottage. It was magnificent! Accommodation was comfortable, views amazing and Vanessa’s breakfasts one of a kind! Your different breads on offer each morning were wonderful. Your advice on local haunts helped a lot and we loved the visit to your “family” on our last morning. Thank you, Vanessa!”
