Everything with our stay was great, just a little sign outside the entrance to let us know this was the right house would have been super helpful as it’s not immediately obvious as you come up the lane.

The house is just beautiful! The breakfast was excellent and our room was comfortable and warm with lots of extra special touches. We especially appreciated the high thread count bedding, wide selection of teas and the homemade treats. Caroline and Richard were such kind and thoughtful hosts, stepping in to help when we needed it. We booked as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Ballydugan Mill but would love to return to explore the grounds and surrounding area. We’d highly recommend a stay at Nutgrove House.

It was great. Have nothing to add in this point

The grounds are amazing. Bring a book and a blanket and go lay out in one of the gardens and chillax. The wildflower garden. The fruit trees. The breakfast was great and the service was friendly and warm. Beautiful welcome with tea/ coffee and homemade biscuits offered on arrival. Great recommendations on local restaurants offered also.

The double bed though comfortable took a little to get used to, we being used to a larger bed. The only other drawback was the shower which for some reason at times could be erratic in maintaining temperature though we were still able to use it okay.

The tea and cake on arrival was great. We enjoyed the fruit, cereal and yoghurt provided along with the cooked breakfasts. Caroline and Richard are excellent hosts and if you wish to just chill out, weather permitting, they have lovely garden(s) to sit in.

Nothing it was perfect.

Everything! From the minute we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Caroline and Richard are great hosts, have a beautiful home and are very gracious hosts. Cannot recommend this Oasis enough. . Excellent breakfast with home made preserves and delicious coffee. Served in an exquisite dining room. Visiting Nutgrove House is definitely an experience not to be missed.

I think the shepherds hut is slightly overpriced. I would have expected to pay a bit less for the hut than the rooms in the house.

Hosts were very friendly and rooms were very comfortable. House and gardens are beautiful and we had an amazing breakfast before heading on our way. Very much recommend!

We stayed here as the last stop on the St Patrick's Way walk. We had hoped to get a taxi to Nutgrove House from Downpatrick but very few appear to be operating any longer there. In the end our host came and rescued us. We were then given a very welcome pot of tea and delicious Victoria sponge in the drawing room. They were very kind and ferried us to Dundrum where we were able to get an excellent meal at the Mourne Seafood Bar. The room was just right and we appreciated the peaceful setting, we were able to explore their wonderful garden before the Local taxi came to take us to the bus station in Downpatrick. It was an truly delightful place to stay and a perfect end to our walking holiday.

Absolutely stunning home, we were made to feel so welcome by hosts & our fireside breakfast was just exceptional - thank you! Lovely touches in the room with robes, little hand made biscuits and fresh milk waiting for us after a long day at a wedding. Just lovely x

Leaving

We needed to find a place to relax and recharge and the Shepherds Hut provided the perfect place. This was our second visit in 3 months and will not be our last. Our hosts Caroline and Richard’s were very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The homemade flapjack and Victoria sponge were an absolute delicious treat on arrival. The luxury continental breakfast with freshly made bread was so good. The quality of the shepherds hut along with it’s fixers and fittings as well as the cleanliness was of the highest standard. It’s location in a large well maintained gardens was the perfect venue to relax in.

This much-loved country home is just off a green and leafy country road. A quiet and peaceful setting with beautiful grounds to explore or to sit in. The hosts were welcoming, attentive and considerate. Our room enjoyed views to the Mournes and the garden. Delicious breakfast in the dining room with a wood fire in the hearth.
