French Cottage (1)- View of Mourne Mountains & Sea

You cannot believe the views! Wake up in a quiet village and watch the sunrise over the harbor right in your front yard, go out the front door of your private cottage to walk along the harbor and along the ocean, go out the back door and see the famous Mourne Mountains. Or stay inside and enjoy the two story cottage with open plan lounge, kitchen/dining area. This is a perfect place to work from your temporary home office with full WiFi, overlooking the water. There are 3 other adjacent private cottages which are perfect for large families or friend groups to all stay together! The cottage has received MANY updates in the last few months! It has been freshly painted, we've purchased new linens, new furniture, and new appliances including a cooker and a washer/dryer combo! Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, one with two single beds, as well as a double room with a brand new comfortable mattress complete with en-suite bathroom. Both bathrooms have all new plumbing for relaxing and amazing well-pressured showers! Parking is available. The cottage is part of the Friends Forever International Center at Annalong. 100% of proceeds go towards the mission of FFI, an NGO, which is to empower youth leaders to connect, strengthen, and serve communities around the globe by combining their passion to make the world a better place with the skills, experiences, and resources required to do so. Guests will have access to their private cottages and outdoor green space. Someone is available by phone to assist guests if needed. The Center is located in a very quiet village at the foot of the famous Northern Irish Mourne Mountains on the east coast of Northern Ireland. It's 1 hour from Belfast and 1.5 hours from Dublin.
