Our Ocean Apartment is a three double bedroom boutique apartment with panoramic sea views and view of where the " Mountains of Mourne Sweep Down to the Sea". On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man from the lounge. The apartment showcases the work of local artists and are decorated in a quirky and creative way - definitely not typical and neutral. You will be located right on the promenade close to the beach, mountain and forest trails, high quality cafes, restaurants and ebike hire and an easy walk to the harbour. Free parking is just around the corner in Donard Car Park.
We are pleased to offer three boutique Art Apartments; 'The Ocean' , 'The Forest' and 'The Sky' to choose from. Each are a fresh and distinctive way to have a memorable stay in the amazing Mourne Mountains. Their rich and creative interiors are inspired by the sea, forests and mountains of the Mournes. 'Ocean' is a first floor apartment with three bedrooms, and with living space inspired by the sea. 'Forest' is a two bedroom ground floor apartment themed on the trees and forests of Mourne.
All have a fully equipped kitchen and an inspiring dining area to create your own special night in. 'Ocean' offers a clear view over the bay from your dining table, whilst 'Forest' gives you your own forest glade to dine in or you can use the outside courtyard. 'Sky' is a duplex with spiral staircase with enviable sea views from both floors. All bedrooms have their own rich character and include high quality mattresses and bedding.
Step outside and you are immediately on the Promenade. A minutes walk will take you to the beach, to mountain trails passing waterfalls that go up to Slieve Donard. Or saunter to high quality local cafes, restaurants, pubs or art galleries. Across the road you can hire an e-bike. The Royal County Down Golf Links are just up the road. The Harbour is 15 minutes easy walk away for boat trips and the Soak Seaweed Baths.

Each apartment has a range original work by local artists including painters, photographers, woodworkers and ceramicists. A number of pieces have been made especially for the apartment and feature aspects of the myth, magic and majesty of the Mournes. You can buy any of the work on show to take home. We provide lots of information about the artists and their work and there will always be something new and exciting on display.
