The choice is small, so it helps to decide on group size first. Places for 2 are mostly one-bedroom cabins, and the cheapest of them is a sea view cabin with no hot tub. Larger lodges for 6 to 8 have 3 or 4 bedrooms, and these are where hot tubs and pet permission mostly appear. Prices for the biggest places climb sharply, so a four-bedroom lodge with a hot tub can cost more than three times a two-person cabin. Mid-sized lodges for 6 with a hot tub sit well below that, which makes them the easier option for a group on a set budget.

Newcastle here is the County Down town at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, and the stays around it lean towards groups and families rather than couples. Most places sleep between 4 and 6 people, and the largest takes 8. Guests rate them very highly, at about 9.7 out of 10.
Prices cover a wide range. A small cabin for two can cost well under the usual rate for the area, while a large hot tub lodge for a group costs several times as much per night. Hot tubs are common, with 6 of the 10 places having one, and they sit at the dearer end. Log burners are rarer, at 3 places. Pets are accepted at 2 places, and only on request. Sea views are scarce, so if the coast matters to you, check this first.
A garden is the most common feature, at 7 of the 10 places, followed by hot tubs at 6 and high chairs at 5. Gardens and high chairs go with the cheaper, family-sized lodges. Hot tubs and BBQs come with dearer stays, both usually around the same level. Log burners are found at 3 places and usually come with a lower price than the hot tub lodges, so they suit a winter break on a tighter budget. Sea views are limited to 2 places, and they are dearer than the typical log burner stay.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 7 | 70% | £231 |
| Hot tub | 6 | 60% | £303 |
| High chair | 5 | 50% | £231 |
| BBQ | 4 | 40% | £303 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 3 | 30% | £179 |
| Sea view | 2 | 20% | £290 |
Two sizes dominate. Places for 2 have one bedroom and usually cost less per night, but each person pays about twice as much as in a larger lodge. Places for 5 or 6 have around 3 bedrooms and cost more per night, yet the share per person falls to roughly half. If you can fill a lodge, the larger size is the cheaper way to stay. For a couple, a small cabin is the sensible choice, and a hot tub cabin for two costs far more than one without.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 3 | 1 | £119 | £60 |
| Sleeps 5-6 | 4 | 3 | £175 | £29 |
Nightly prices stay in a narrow band through the winter and spring. February is the dearest month shown, with March close behind. April is the cheapest, and November is also on the lower side. December and January cost the same. Availability changes more than price. November and December have the fewest free dates, while January to March have far more. A week costs more in winter than outside it, so a spring week is the cheaper way to stay longer.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £172 | 49% |
| December 2026 | £182 | 47% |
| January 2027 | £182 | 71% |
| February 2027 | £192 | 68% |

Several nearby towns offer alternatives if dates here are taken. Belfast has the lowest starting price of the nearby places, and Castlewellan is also cheaper than Newcastle. Newry has 10 places, the same as Newcastle, and starts at a lower price. Maghera and Ballymena start at a price closer to Newcastle's usual rate. Portpatrick has the widest choice, with 12 places. It lies across the water in Scotland, so it suits a different trip.
Yes, it works well. Nightly prices stay fairly steady from November to April, and about 3 in 10 places have a log burner. A week in winter costs more than one outside winter, so short breaks suit the colder months better.
Larger lodges. Places for 5 or 6 cost about half as much per person as cabins for 2, as long as you can fill them. A couple will pay more per head, but has a cheaper total bill.
Only 2 places list a sea view. One is a small cabin for 2 and is among the cheapest stays. The other adds a hot tub and costs far more per night.
Often, yes. Belfast, Castlewellan and Newry all start at lower prices than Newcastle's usual rate. You will need to travel further from the Mourne Mountains, so weigh the saving against the drive.
