Home from home
Lovely property in a superb location that is handy for all the amenities of Annalong but with stunning views all round. Wonderful blend of traditional character but luxurious finish and spacious interior. I appreciate that underfloor heating is slow to respond to change and that it was an unseasonably warm weekend but the only issue was it was unbearably warm. Easily solved by leaving windows and the French doors open but what a waste of energy. Would happily return.

Brilliant stay
Really well appointed cottages and maintained to an excellent standard. This was our 2nd visit and it didn’t disappoint. Equipped with everything required for an excellent stay. Reggie the electronic mower kept us entertained! Does take dogs although on this occasion we didn’t take ours. Highly recommended.

Great stay in a beautiful cottage looking over the sea
This cottage was in a beautiful setting with space for 4 people. The area was nice and quiet, even when all the cottages were full. The first day we managed to sit outside in the sun, even though it was October, which was heavenly. The amenities were great, and everything that we needed was there. I will definitely book this again.

Cosy and clean
Another wonderful stay at Kribben! We have been here lots of times and Myrtle never fails to deliver, even during a pandemic! The place was spotlessly clean and it felt very safe. We were confident that every precaution had been taken. Just what we all needed after a very exhausting few months! Although the weather was not on our side, the cottage was as always cosy and comfortable. Remains our favourite stay on the Mournes! Pauline, Paul and Lily

Fantastic stay
Just home from a stay at Moolieve Cottage. ‘Outstanding’ is a word that would cover everything! The cottage is beautiful and luxurious in every way. Kribben Cottages is definitely a good way to chill out for a few days and the scenery you wake up to is just breathtaking. There isn’t anything that Myrtle has not thought of in the cottage. Even the dogs were chilled out.

Relaxing Break
We have just returned from a lovely relaxing break away at Moolieve Cottage. We picked here as self catering is more ideal with a 11 month old baby. The cottage has everything you would need. Beautifully decorated and homely. Beds were very comfortable and my husband would be fussy but we both slept like babies!! Cot and high chair were also available which was good. The wood burning stove is a bonus on a chilly evening. Due to the current Covid 19 we were unable to meet Myrtle in person due to social distancing, however she was on the other end of the phone if we needed anything. She even left us fresh eggs and wheeten on arrival which was a lovely touch. The cottage itself is in a perfect location with wonderful mountain and sea views. There is a play area which is especially great if you are staying with children. Our son loved the swing and looked forward to going on it every day! All in all, we will definitely return again (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Excellent Stay
Had a great stay in the Moolieve cottage. Great location in the Mournes with plenty of activities and sightseeing to do. The cottage itself is very modern,clean and cosy. Very spacious for a couple. Electric gate to enter the compound helps make it feel even more secure. Fairly priced too. Would consider returning and would recommend to friends and family

Moolieve Magic
My family and I, 3 children and 2 adults, had the pleasure of spending 2 nights in Moolieve cottage. It was truly a superb, welcoming, warm and beautifully decorated cottage in the setting of the majestic Mournes. Myrtle was a most accomdating and friendly host who even left us a lovely welcome hamper of homemade scones, shortbread and organic eggs. She met us at the property and was very helpful and put us at ease immediately. We can't wait to come back.

Relax and enjoy
This is the first time in this cottage. We usually stay in one of the bigger houses, but Moolieve is warm, cosy and comfortable. Kribben cottages location is beautiful, it's no distance to Newcastle if you want shops and restaurants or walk out the door to see and walk in the mourned. We love it and Myrtle could not be more welcoming, there are always fresh baked goodies and eggs on the table. A real home from home...

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for your kind review. It's always a pleasure to welcome back returning guests and delighted to hear you were snug and happy in Moolieve Cottage. We endeavor to provide home baked or local produce in our welcome pack, it's always nice to arrive to a freshly baked scone!
