Wonderful stay
The property is very clean and well suited for light cooking. The owner was very friendly and more than happy to recommend places to eat. We did not have any issues with our stay and the pony’s on site ran up to us for a bit of attention. I would recommend this property for a lovely stay

'The Rivera of Ireland'
Someone told me that this is the Rivera of Ireland, and I think that may be true. What I liked most (besides the wonderful landscaping John and Dolores are working on) was Kilbroney Park, with its' Narnia/CS Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia) themed hike, and the walk up to Cloughmore Stone. Also, the pastries in Warrenpoint were amazing.

Excellent Stay!
We loved our stay at La Belle Villa. The private villa is separate from the owner's home and is very spacious with a full-sized kitchen, family room, bathroom, and bedroom with two large beds. The views from the property are beautiful! We enjoyed hearing sheep in the distance and seeing the horses on property. The surrounding gardens are beautiful! This home is close to town for groceries, etc. and also close to Royal County Down for golf. Dolores and John are very friendly, gracious hosts. We greatly enjoyed our time and hope to return someday soon!

Beautiful residence
The house was so much better than the photos shown on website! John was a lovely friendly guy. The place was spotlessly clean. We loved the decor in all the rooms. The beds were so comfortable and the shower was the best. There were lovely shampoo and body wash and even a box of tissues! The views were amazing. A lovely walk into Rostrevor where the Fiddlers Green Festival was happening 💚 The Rostrevor Inn is our favourite. At the house we seen the fox that comes everyday to be fed! We highly recommend!

Beautiful home and landscape, lovely family
This was my first time in Europe (only second time traveling internationally) and also my first time vacationing as a solo female. John and Dolores were lovely hosts and made me feel comfortable and welcome. I arrived the day before St. Patty's Day and didn't know anything about the area. I was fortunate enough to have been invited by their family's son to attend holiday festivities in Belfast so that I could enjoy St. Patty's Day and not be clueless and alone for the holiday. This was much appreciated. The home itself was very clean and lovely. Huge space for one person, but a few folks could comfortably stay too. I thoroughly enjoyed the food options in Warrenpoint, and there were were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. Rostrevor is a cute town as well, just fewer options in terms of food and things to do. The ponies on the property were also wonderful and friendly to pet and talk to. You feel like you have your own little private home, amongst a gorgeous landscape, but the owners are in the house just next door if you need anything which was awesome. They also helped me last minute with my laundry when I was in a pinch, and one of the daughters was also very helpful with that too. She even brought me chocolate. Overall, you'll be staying with a kind family in a safe, beautiful town. Would definitely recommend staying for several days, and I would stay there again. Thanks again, Dolores and John, for your fantastic accommodations!

Great stay despite cloudy weather
We greatly enjoyed our stay in La Belle Villa even though the unseasonably cloudy weather largely prevented climbing the higher Mourne mountains. John greeted us warmly and then gave us complete privacy whilst always being available to help should we have needed. The 'villa' is lovely and has everything you need. We concur with John's recommendation of the Rostrevor Inn for excellent meals at a very good price. 20-25 min walk from villa Lots to do in the area - we enjoyed Kilbroney Park in Rostrevor and walked from there up Slievemartin and beyond, walking the Slieve Gullion Trail, and taking ferry over to Carlingford.

Beautiful Rostrevor
Bungalow was beautiful. Lovely comfy beds. Great bathroom. Great views from seated area outside summer house but from listing we thought we could have used it as it was one of the reasons we had booked. Listing needs updated. Views from the villa were blocked by tall bushes at the front of it all we could see from inside were red leaves which was a pity as views would have stunning. We loved the ponies and fed them carrots. Foxes visited us evening and morning which was amazing. A great location.

Linda you DID use the area outside the summer house from where you fed the ponies and the views as depicted in the listing from that spot are beautiful. The seated area/balcony is not listed as to be used by guests so your suggestion that you 'thought from the listing' that it could be used is in error - note that in my listing the word 'balcony' is not used so there is no way that anyone can assume the summer house balcony could be used by guests. Please correct this observation as it affects our reputation. The views from around and inside the villa are as depicted. We take great care to ensure that the villa is correctly described in the listing.

Myself and my girlfriend stayed at La Belle Villa for a 2 night stay, the owner John was extremely welcoming, very helpful and kind! Anything we needed he was only a phone call and a doorstep away! The home was absolutely beautiful, all you could need for self catering and stay. It had everything! The view was panoramic and tranquil and honestly breathtaking. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the sofas if you just want a chill day and watch the tv with the sky box which has a lot of shows! Not to even mention La Belle Villa is on the footstep of the Mourne Mountains which is amazing especially if you love mountain walking. La Belle Villa is definitely has the perfect name, the beautiful Villa! And that’s exactly what it is!! I would 110% recommend La Belle Villa. Thank you John!

Stunning property, with beautiful panorama over Carlingford Lough and a forested hill behind the house. The property is also furnished and finished to a very high standard, with plenty of heating and hot water to stay cozy even in cold conditions. We really appreciated the amenities in the kitchen also. Thanks to Dolores and John for their hospitality, hope to return soon

Spacious house with fantastic view
We had a lovely stay for a week. The owners live on the property. They were very friendly and helpfull with everything. We could feed their pony's. The house was very clean and spacious for the two of us. You do need a car to get around but Belfast or Dublin are at about an hour drive. On wednesday, saturday and sunday you can enjoy Irish music in the Rostrevor Inn. We enjoyed this very much.
