Modern life moves quickly: full calendars, endless emails, constant notifications. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is pause. A spontaneous countryside staycation offers more than just new scenery — it's a way to reconnect: with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
Whether you're looking for a romantic night away, a peaceful solo retreat, or a last-minute family weekend, our luxury cottages in Northern Ireland provide the privacy, comfort, and beauty you need to truly unwind.
Set within a private estate in County Down, Larchfield feels delightfully removed from the hustle — yet we're just 20 minutes from Belfast and under an hour from much of Northern Ireland. No airport queues, no hours on the motorway. Just grab your bag and arrive ready to relax.
Many guests tell us it's this perfect blend of convenience and escape that makes us their favourite destination for spontaneous luxury breaks near Belfast.
From our elegant Rose Cottage to the spacious Farm Cottage and characterful 1800s Gate Lodge, each of our luxury cottages in Northern Ireland is unique. Expect king-sized beds, roll-top baths, log-burning stoves, and private walled gardens.
For something a little different, the converted Swiss Army Truck offers a cosy, stylish stay under the stars — perfect for adventurous couples.
