Location at the end of a farm track off a minor road going uphill literally right after crossing the border. Great views across the valley. Lovely nicely-furnished cosy old farmhouse. Wonderful friendly owners who were always available helpful and full of interesting information. Good wifi and TV reception. Absolutely ideal for visiting Carlingford and other places on the Cooley Peninsula (e.g. Greenore with its unique Victorian tea rooms built by the LNWR in the 19th century and Finn the amazing dolphin down at the beach), hill and forest walks on Slieve Foy. Also good for trips over over the border to Flagstaff (spectacular 360 degree views), Newry, Armagh and Slieve Gullion (spectacular mountain drive up it) and further afield the Mountains of Mourne. We also drove down to the Boyne battlefield and the amazing stone age buildings at Newgrange. It was great to come back every day to our lovely little farmhouse. The girls loved going up the lane to stroke the horses in the field!

We had no real problems - the stairs were steep but we got up and down no problem.

lovely country cottage set in beautiful countryside

Convenient

The farmhouse has real character . It was comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. If you want a flawless clinically clean environment don’t go to Quarvue. If you want a homely, clean, cosy house with a real sense of history and authenticity this is the place for you. The location is superb with panoramic views and the surrounding farmland is rich with bird life. The hosts are very welcoming and they gave up a lot of their time to make our stay very rewarding.

a toilet downstairs would have been handy as the stairs were steep and a little tricky for maturer adults!

Quarvue is an old farm cottage about 150 yards down a track off a minor road, up above the Newry River estuary - the road to Warrenpoint is visible across the river. Quarvue is in the Republic but just about 200 yards south of the border. It's not very large but quite adequate - the very friendly owners Susanne and Seamus have built a more modern section for themselves on at one side. We had an open fire - took me back to my childhood, with paper, kindling, firelighters and wood logs, and turf too. Central heating too, so it was warm and well equipped. A great location. Just 5 miles from Newry, or you can take the hill road to reach the M1 / N1 southwards, or down to Carlingford by the coast road. Having the old cowshed and pig sty labelled in Gaelic was interesting!

Just that the wooden stairs are quite steep and one needs to take care when descending.

Lovely farmhouse. Perfect for exploring all day and relaxing at night.

Lovely cottage surrounded by the countryside. A nice base to explore both Republic of Ireland and Nothern Ireland. Hosts were very welcoming and let our son explore the land. Nice little sand pit and play house for him to play in.

Lovely hosts and real Irish cottage

Fabulous location & view, quaint farmhouse fully equipped, plenty to do on the grounds to keep kids entertained, friendly & helpful hosts

The rustic and homely feel. Fully stocked up on fuel for the fire was a fine touch, dried turf and logs to last a lifetime. Such a cosy place fully kitted out with everything to make it feel like a home. Fantastic scenery and such a peaceful location. The hosts completed our stay, such genuine and lovely people, was a pleasure to meet them. 15 minute spin to Newry which is handy.

The location and the hosts were superb. Loads of things to do nearby. Handy spin to Newry for greater choice of restaurants and shopping. Views from the house are amazing. Lovely spot and fantastic hosts.

Small bathroom but understandable as it's an old house.

We had a great 4days the scenery was spectacular The hosts Suzanne and Seamus are very hospitable and the farmhouse was absolutely lovely

A lovely place to stay, to get away from it all

This was a beautiful place to stay, just down the road from magnificent scenery, great trails to hike and town only a short drive away with a bit of a vibe, even now in June! Suzanne and Seamus were really friendly and gave us lots of advice and told us stories about the area. We can't wait to go back soon!

Just returned home from this beautiful traditional farm house. We loved every minute of it despite the terrible weather. The kids had a ball. Loved the farmhouse. Brought me back to my childhood and my grandmothers house. Loved sitting by the turf fire. We will definitely return. Thanks Suzanne and Seamus.

Beautiful location, lovely hosts, the house is very old and has so much history. Close to greenway so its a handy cycle into Newry or Carlingford, hosts where kind enough to lend us bikes too.

We arrived a little later than expected and this was no trouble for Suzanne and Seamus, they were very welcoming hosts. The house has lots of character and was very well stocked with towels, sheets, tea and coffee. The scenery was spectacular. Thank you for allowing us to have such a wonderful time. We will definitely be back!

Lovely scenery. Plenty off stuff for the children to do.

The most breathtaking views. Home from home with amazing welcome. Traditional Irish home get away from it all and relax. Great tips and suggestions from the hosts and so hospitable. Nothing too much hassle. We can’t wait to go back

Excellent value, second time staying here now and will return. The views are incredible and the location is easily accessible
