From Miami to Dundrum...a wonderful contrast

Miami travellers Miami, Fl. USA
Review Submitted: June 28, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
coming from the hustle bustle of Miami, Dundrum was so relaxing, calm and serene. The views from this apartment are incredible and ever changing throughout the day and evening. Many hours were spent on the sofa watching the tides ebb and flow, birds hunting for fish and even a few sea lions. Upon opening the front door our words were "wow". The place is immaculate and feels like a Four Seasons hotel!
Every convenience is provided: excellent taste in furnishings, new baths and kitchen...we felt at home immediately. One of my favorite things was waking in the morning to the sun breaking thru sliding doors and huge windows of our bedroom and realizing the days adventure ahead. This area is rich with natural attractions...riding bikes on the beaches and trails, botanical gardens, exploring New Castle and small surrounding towns...we spent over 10 days and each one was unique and memorable. I highly recommend this property to all who seek to know the real Ireland.

Luxury and child-friendly CAN be done!

Nige&Rosie Co. Armagh, N. Ireland
Review Submitted: September 11, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
When we decided to go away on holiday this year the two things on our wish list were a luxurious setting that we could relax and enjoy, and also a child-friendly environment for our 18 month old daughter, Phoebe. We didn't think that we'd be able to find a location that provided both, but Janet's apartment in Dundrum ticked both boxes in the most amazing way. The apartment itself was absolutely beautiful, filled with interesting art and finished with impecable style and taste. The views were stunning, and the location very handy to local beaches and great restaurants. But what impressed us possibly the most was the way in which Phoebe was catered for: a range of toys (including miniature rocking horse that she wanted to bring home!) and books kept her amused all week, she enjoyed seal-watching and her first beach experience, and she slept like a baby (haha) in the well proportioned travel cot . In short, for 2 first time parents bringing their child away for her first holiday, we couldn't have had a better experience! Thankyou Janet--we'll definately come back soon!

Peace and Tranquility

Review Submitted: July 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Beautiful apartment in perfect location. We travelled in just under an hour to the accommodation but felt we were much further from home. As advertised, the views were stunning, the village was peaceful and all we needed was on our doorstep - beautiful walks, places of interest, shopping, etc. We would, without hesitation, recommend this apartment to anyone - young or old and hope to return in the not too distant future

Stunning

M&W Leicestershire u.k.
Review Submitted: June 3, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This is the only way to describe both the apartment and the location. The apartment was everything we could have hoped for, the views were to die for and the area had so much to offer. We especially enjoyed watching the wildlife and our (very) early morning walk was well worth getting up for when we encountered a family of Otters, who seemed as happy to see us as we were them! The local Restaurants were good, but a trip to Balloo House is well worth the journey. The Giants Causeway and Antrim Coast were spectacular, but if you only wanted to stay in the Dundrum area you could find more than enough to do. We had a wonderful week in this lovely part of Ireland, and will definately return for more.
