Visited Newcastle with friends and this offered us an ideal location to explore the area. Apartment was as seen in the photos. Kitchen etc. very well equipped. There was a nice welcoming pack of the essentials plus a little extra - thanks Tony for the wine and they great meet and greet.

We stayed with our young son at Tony's apartment for a week in July. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Dishwasher, TV and dvd, wifi, hairdryer etc etc. There's plenty of parking outside and great views on to the golf course. About a ten minute stroll to town where there are plenty of lovely shops and restaurants. Our favourites were Niki's kitchen, villa vinci, the harbour inn and vanilla. We had beautiful trips to Castlewellan forest park and the silent valley. We hope to return next year. Thanks!
We stayed at the apartment with our son, his partner and our grandchild (2.5 yrs) for 4 days. The weather was absolutely fantastic hot and clear blue skies every day! The apartment was in a great spot, about a 20 minute stroll from Newcastle and really is as good as the other reviewers have said on this this site. Very clean, highly spec'd, well laid out and Tony (the owner) couldn't have been more helpful and gave us a pile of goodies to get started (Wine, tea, coffee, bread, milk, fruit, etc). It's a great base to go off and explore around the Mourne Mountains and along the Mourne coastal route. Good mixture of pubs and restaurants in Newcastle, a take-away fish n chip supper overlooking the beach from Doc's followed by an ice-cream from Maude's is highly recommended :)

Used 7 The Carriages for a base for golf in the area. For our family, the first time we have rented an apartment like this instead of a hotel. It was a very good experience.
The property is located just off the main road and is a short walk or dive to Royal County Down or Newcastle center. There is a grocery store just a short way down the road for whatever supplies you need.
We enjoyed meeting Tony and he was great to deal with. Gave us a very nice welcome with great instructions about how to use everything in the apartment. He also left us a very nice group of basics including a nice bottle of wine. Thank you Tony for your hospitality and advice about where to eat in town too.
Since we were golfer, we enjoyed the view out the bedroom windows of RCD. We could see golfers playing the 11th hole and then finishing their rounds on 17 and 18.
Plenty of parking and easy to find, we would love to return again someday! Was a great few days in the Newcastle area.

We stayed here as a family for a week. It is perfectly located for the Slieve Donard hotel where we were for a wedding. Tony gave us a fabulous welcome and there was even a welcome pack with some essentials and a bottle of wine! The apartment is clean, well maintained and well equipped. Would definitely recommend.
Stayed at the Carriages for a short Easter break with my 2 teenage children. The apartment was spotless and had everything we could possibly ever need with well stacked cupboards and fresh towels and linen, family games, DVDs, Sky TV and WIFI. The location was great - about a 10 minute walk into the centre of town and only a few minutes from the local garage/supermarket. Although along the main road, it is well tucked in from the road and felt very safe with limited noise from passing traffic. We received a really warm welcome from Tony who was very accommodating and helpful in booking and arrival and departure.
I would highly recommend this beautifully presented apartment.
