Product Description

Ashside Cottage is a thoughtfully adapted 18th-century country cottage located in the peaceful hills of County Down, just outside Royal Hillsborough and within easy reach of Belfast. Ideal for guests with limited mobility, the property offers wheelchair access throughout the ground floor and features accessible design elements that ensure comfort without compromising on charm.

The cottage sleeps eight guests and includes a spacious ground floor twin bedroom with an ensuite wet room. This bathroom features a step-free shower, handrails, and a roll-under wash basin, providing practical and dignified access for guests with mobility needs. The front entrance has a gently ramped approach, and there is on-site parking for convenience. All ground floor areas are accessible by wheelchair, making the property particularly suited to guests who require step-free movement.

Ashside Cottage combines accessibility with warmth and character. The home retains its original rural charm while offering a peaceful countryside setting where guests can relax and unwind. Visitors have exclusive access to the full cottage and private garden, creating a truly self-contained and comfortable retreat.

Its location offers the best of both worlds — tranquility in the heart of County Down and easy access to Belfast, the historic towns of Hillsborough and Saintfield, and attractions such as the Giant’s Causeway and the Mountains of Mourne. The cottage is also just five miles from the main Belfast to Dublin route, making it an excellent base for exploring the region. Fully certified by Tourism Northern Ireland, Ashside Cottage offers a welcoming and accessible stay for all.
