Murlough Country House has three floors: the lower ground floor, the ground floor and the first floor. On the  lower ground floor you’ll  enter through our ‘Shields’ Conservatory with a large dining table for 12 people.  This  leads onto a spacious well equipped kitchen with all the modern conveniences you’ll require.  Follow on through to ‘Agar’s Snug’, the first of 3 reception rooms. It is a cosy, classy snug with a wood burning stove. From “Agar’s Snug’ enter the lower ground floor hall which has several areas of it.  There’s the Boot room, the utility area in the back hall leading to the back door. A luxurious shower room and ‘Blundell’ our accessible downstairs Superking bedroom complete our lower ground floor.

A small corridor from here leads to ‘Mitchell’ our delightful spacious kingsize bedroom  with  a stunning shower room next door.  

Down a small set of steps and across the mid landing is a beautiful room with rain shower and electric sauna.

The gentle staircase continues to the top floor of ‘Murlough Country House’  and a spacious landing which has 4 signature bedrooms off it. Turn right off this upper hall and enter a small vestibule with 2 bedrooms off it.    ‘Annesley’ is our superking master ensuite. Opulent decoration and furnishings create a peaceful setting for rest and relaxation. ‘Magennes’ is our golden double bedroom with a delicate, warm and sunny feel to it.

Return back to the upper hall and turn right to ‘Macartney’ our kingsize bedroom with wonderful views over the front of the house and beyond. Last, but definitely not least, is ‘Armstrong’ our superking bedroom with free standing bath overlooking the Mourne Mountains. 

Outside, our beautiful property is approached on a long private spectacular tree lined drive. The house has its own courtyard with plenty of parking, with gardens to the front and side. Dog owners will be excited about the safe enclosed courtyard and the outdoor shed for furry family members who need it. With an outdoor tap and bath with dedicated doggy towels, you and your pooch will be in heaven after a long stroll in Murlough. 

Equestrian enthusiasts will love this area for  beach riding and hacking through the dunes. You’ll also love our unique original stables and large paddock. Water sports enthusiasts, Cyclists and Mountain bikers will delight in being able to wash down  gear and store it safely after a day exploring the area, the bay and the Reserve.
