Built in 1888, by our great-grandfather, the house is set at the end of a short drive and is surrounded by mature oak, sycamore and pine trees. The reception rooms are beautifully spacious with high ceilings and ornate cornicing. The dining room boasts a large antique table and a Broadwood grand piano alongside the original fireplaces, pitch pine doors and woodwork. Upstairs the bedrooms are comfortable with well appointed en-suite bathrooms. There are exquisite views of the Mourne Mountains from one side of the house. a vegetable Kiltariff Hall is only 45 minutes drive from Belfast and an hour from Dublin.

The home is beautiful and Catherine is a wonderful hostess. It is stately but cozy. The Blue Room has incredibly comfortable beds (king and twin) with crisp, luxurious sheets and the perfect weight comforter. The room is very large with a clever ensuite disguised as a wardrobe. While the bathroom is compact, it is well done with a tall toilet and a shower with amazing water pressure. Breakfast was varied, generous and tasty. The French press coffee was a great start to the morning. So happy we found this wonderful home away from home. The perfect way to end our 3 week tour of Scotland and Ireland.

Kiltariff Hall is a characterful country House B&B. The accommodation is well presented and the rooms are charming and comfortable. Catherine is a terrific host - tea and cake (lovely) on arrival and a lovely breakfast. But Catherine is also a fount of knowledge about her family's history and what to do in the surrounding area. We took her recmmendation re dining in Rathfriland - at Loft 56 - we were not disappointed. Completely recommend Kiltariff Hall as a place to stay overnight or for a while.

Isn't it just great when you book somewhere to stay just on a hunch, and it turns out to be far better than you could have hoped for? Kiltarif House is lovingly maintained in all its original family home glory and is run by the very attentive Catherine, a direct descendent of the original builder and owner of the house. This is an extremely comfortable place to rest and relax and get an amazing night's sleep. There are very few trappings of modern life here, and you very quickly don't miss them anyway. Wonderful bird life in the surrounding tress (which are all the same age as the house) and we were greeted after an excellent breakfast with our first sighting of a wood-pecker from our bedroom window. A great place to leave the present behind.

Beautiful Victorian house lovingly maintained and made beautifully comfortable with addition of all mod cons . Unbelievably comfortable bed , gallons of hot water for .the magnificent bath and a delicious breakfast of locally sourced food . The high point might have been spotting a woodpecker at breakfast . Cathetine is a wonderful welcoming host and I can't wait to go back

A fantastic weekend spent at Kiltariff hall. A beautiful house with very comfortable bedrooms and a very calming outlook surrounded by trees on all sides. It was incredibly quiet and we enjoyed a great nights sleep. Catherine was a wonderful host, helpful, friendly and a brilliant cook both for our breakfast and dinner meals. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the wonderful hospitality with some more fishing hopefully.

What an amazing welcome to Kiltariff Hall. The open fire in the drawing room was so cosy and Catherine shared some special memories of her childhood in the Rathfriland area where my father grew up. Fantastic breakfast with locally sourced produce.

Highly recommend a short getaway to this beautiful old house. Spotlessly clean and so welcoming and cosy. Catherine is an attentive host and the breakfast was amazing. Fresh local ingredients in the stunning dining room, we didn’t want to leave!

This is a lovely old and characterful house, and Catherine was an unobtrusive and thoughtful host, and a very good cook! She had lit a fire for us in the drawing room, and prepared a three course dinner (superb chocolate mousse) including vegetables from the kitchen garden. Good Ulster tea, with fresh milk in a miniature fridge in our room, and a very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed our stay.

Kiltariff Hall is a beautiful Victorian house that’s been lovingly and exquisitely refurbished into a delightful Bnb. It’s the little touches like the fresh flowers in all the rooms and the attention to comfort and detail that make a guests stay a memorable one. Catherine is a fabulous host and helpful on so many levels - especially on local knowledge, places to go and things to see. There’s a great choice of fresh locally grown and produced foods on the breakfast menu and all is cooked to perfection. We also had an exceptionally delicious three course meal, one evening, served in the spacious dining room with lovely background music. This family run exclusive accommodation has so much to offer with nearby Slieve Gullion, Warrenpoint, Rostrevor, the Mournes and numerous lakes and golf courses nearby. The next time we go we’ll definitely book a Red Kite tour with Shelagh and explore more of counties Down and Armagh.…

I was in the area mountain biking, and spent a very nice evening in a very comfortable room in Kiltariff. Catherine is an exceptional host, and you can very easily tell she cares very deeply about what she does. The house itself is beautiful and nothing was an issue. I was able to charge an electric car overnight, and also store my bike securely overnight. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a guesthouse. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kiltariff Hall to anyone. It’s also located in one of the most scenic areas of Nth Ireland. I will definitely be back for more biking, and will definitely be staying in Kiltariff.
