grounds, in a network of lanes about 150 yards from the road with a large garden and plenty of parking spaces. An old
Mourne farmhouse, Callaghan's Cottage was extensively renovated in 1999.
The cottage is not in Hanna's Close but in the adjacent townland of Ballinran about 2 miles from Kilkeel. There
is no telephone at this cottage.
The single storey building sleeps 6 people and is very suitable for extended families, families sharing and small groups.
