Stag groups want two things that don't sit comfortably together in a city: something to do during the day, and somewhere to sit around talking rubbish at night without a bouncer involved. The Mournes handle the first. Royal County Down is fifteen minutes up the road and is one of the best links courses in the world. There's hiking from the end of the drive, mountain biking, and water activities on the coast. The house handles the second: a private bar you stock yourselves, a games area, digital TV for whatever's on, and no closing time because it's your house for the weekend. Eight bedrooms, every one en suite. Sixteen in beds, four more on airbeds if the group is bigger. The dining room seats sixteen at one table. Two hot tubs and a BBQ area outside. Golf stags in particular work well here. Championship links by day, whole house by night, and not many venues in Northern Ireland can offer both.
£900 per night at weekends for the whole property, which is £56 each at sixteen. Midweek is £700, or £44. Priced per property, so the figure holds when someone drops out. Stocking the bar yourselves is where the real saving is — supermarket prices rather than bar prices, across a whole weekend, for sixteen people. Fully equipped kitchen if you're cooking, or we can put you in touch with our catering partner. Fifteen minutes from Newcastle if you want a night out as well as a night in. Under an hour from Belfast, around ninety minutes from Dublin. Free parking, WiFi throughout, dog friendly. On house rules, we'd rather be straight with you than have an awkward conversation later. It's your house for the weekend and we don't impose a curfew, but we're in a rural setting with neighbours, so we ask for reasonable consideration late at night. There's a refundable security deposit, standard for whole-house rentals. Groups that are up for a good weekend are exactly who this place is for; groups looking to trash somewhere aren't. Send us your dates and numbers and we'll come back with availability and a price.
