Holiday rentals in County Down
County Down in Northern Ireland was the childhood home of acclaimed Narnia author CS Lewis and it is no mystery where he got his inspiration from. Picturesque and magical, it is a captivating setting for scenic holiday rentals. As far as natural beauty goes, Down has no shortage! The Mountains of Mourne, which are largely rock-hard granite, rise above the county, with their highest peak, Slieve Donard, reaching an impressive 848 metres. Whether you’re looking at them or climbing them you are sure to be delighted by the experience. If you prefer holiday rentals with a seaside feel then look no further than the County Down shoreline. The beaches are clean, the birdlife is abundant, and you can relax by the ocean while enjoying the backdrop of the Ards Peninsula and Strangford Lough. Keen sportsmen will find plenty to keep them busy, from yachting and fishing to walking and horse-riding. Golfers should look for holiday rentals near the Royal County Down Golf Course which is just one of several championship courses in the area.
