Dundrum Castle

Reviewed By jade191215

We were the only ones to visit the castle. It is incredible with a lovely view of Dundrum when you climb on top of it, and it is a 7 minute walk from the center of Dundrum.

Murlough National Nature Reserve

Reviewed By machinmad - Norwich, United Kingdom

From the car park we took the right hand boardwalk to the beach then followed the shoreline right round the peninsular and back inland to the road bridge. It was high tide and very wet, but was just manageable . The sea walk was spectacular, as the big waves crashed in. Seals basked on the opposite shore, oblivious to the sound of gunfire from the military firing range. A stunning 2hr circular walk despite the heavy rain on the way back!

we rented electric bikes and had an awesome adventure. We rode higher than we would have on regular bicycles and saw some amazing Irish scenery. Wonderful memories!

Coco's Adventure Playground

Reviewed By joannesH4880CZ

I've just returned home after having my daughter's 6th birthday party in cocos. I can safely say it was the best birthday party experience I've had to date. Staff and general service was outstanding. They went that extra mile to make sure everything flowed very smoothly and that parents and children were well looked after and had everything they needed to have a fantastic day. Thank u so much to all the staff there and I look forward to returning again.
