The Sands B&B, in exclusive Victoria Square, is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
It is the perfect location for hill climbing, orienteering, mountain biking, tennis and sailing or less strenuous pursuits such as forest walks, photography, golf, fishing, painting and bird watching.
C.S. Lewis, author of the Narnia chronicles, was a regular visitor to the region and created Narnia in his imagination as he gazed across Carlingford Lough to the Cooley Mountains. He said of the area, "I have seen landscapes, notably in the Mourne Mountains and southwards which under a particular light made me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge." And in a letter to his brother, he confided explicitly: "That part of Rostrevor which overlooks Carlingford Lough is my idea of Narnia."
Famed for its hospitality and friendliness, Rostrevor is renowned among folk music fans for its annual Fiddlers Green Festival and is unique in that the local pubs entertain four weekly folk sessions all year round, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays Fridays and Sundays
The Kilbroney Bar, The Rostrevor Inn, The Church and The Old School House provide lunches and evening meals, and The Kilbroney Cafe in the park provide less formal dining. Pizza, Chinese, and Indian take away meals are also available while those with a sweet tooth can enjoy Maud's ice cream parlour and cafe in Mary St.
The village is near the site of an early Christian settlement founded by St. Bronagh after whom the Kilbroney valley and Kilbroney river are named, “cil” being the Irish word for a church.
The earliest recorded overseas visitors were The Vikings who gave Carlingford its name because it reminded them of the fjords they’d sailed from.
The nearby town of Warrenpoint has several award winning restaurants and a variety of coffee shops and sandwich bars while Newry City has two large shopping centres, a cinema complex and a twice weekly market.
The Mourne Mountains and the South Down coastal region has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there is a proposal to upgrade its A.O.N.B status to National Park.
Situated 12 miles east of Newry on the A2, The Sands B&B is easily reached in just over an hour from Dublin and Belfast airports.
