A country house just outside Newry has been awarded a four-star accommodation grade by Tourism Northern Ireland.
Surrounded by countryside and overlooking the Mourne Mountains, Tullymurry House is owned by the Irish Landmark Trust.
It is the first time the self-catering property, which sits within a secure gated estate, has been graded. With parts of the property dating back to the 17th century, guests can enjoy learning about the building’s history and restoration.
Guests can experience rooms which are furnished to a high standard as well as a wellness centre offering superb facilities including a sauna, hot tub and large relaxation area.
Deborah Avery, Senior Certification & Grading Office at Tourism NI, said: “We are delighted to award Tullymurry House a four-star grade.
“This is a very well-deserved award for the Irish Landmark Trust. This historic Irish country house style property is finished to an excellent standard and retains many traditional features combined with modern home comforts.
“This award is testament to the high-quality facilities and services offered to guests. Congratulations to the team and we wish them continued success with Tullymurry House.”
Niamh Lunny, CEO of Irish Landmark Trust, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Tullymurry House has been awarded four stars by Tourism Northern Ireland.
“This is a truly special property, full of character and heritage, and we look forward to welcoming more guests to add to its story. We are excited for the boost that this grading will bring to Tullymurry House.”
