We stayed in the Green room for two nights mid July. At first we felt that Anna's house maybe wasn't all we expected and that it was slightly overpriced for a B&B stay. The approach to the house is a little uninspiring and the facade slightly dull. The room is compact and the ensuite even more so and the furniture and fittings a little worn. However we took stock of all that was at our disposal for the duration of our stay and changed our minds. This included free wifi, a beautifully furnished lounge area outside our room complete with comfortable seats, coffee table, small balcony, trouser press, small dining table and writing desk. An even more impressive lounge/nature observatory at the foot of the stairs equipped with cosy sofas, grand piano, tables, the warm glow of lamps, magazines, books and games, binoculars and scopes to view the lake in detail. We could also see the lake from our room and enjoy a flatscreen TV with built-in DVD player and radio. The room had a small bookshelf, reading lamps and tea and coffee making facilities complete with access to a fridge so that real milk could be added instead of the usual artificial variety. There was a great variety of food available for breakfast and most of it was homemade, organic and delicious. As if all of this was not enough Anna and Ken are among the friendliest people we have ever met and Maxie the dog is adorable. They try their best to make the B&B as eco-friendly as possible and took pride in explaining how they achieve this. We added all of this up and it amounted to an extremely comfortable and enjoyable stay away from home. Anna and Ken went out of their way to make us feel welcome and suggested restaurants and attractions in the area that we could visit. This made our stay all the more enjoyable. In summary Anna's House has a very good location, scores high on hospitality and IS worth the extra pound or ten.

We just returned from three weeks touring Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We stayed at three hotels and 8 bed & breakfast homes.
Anna’s House is located near the small village of Killinchy north of Downpatrick and Killyleagh. The house is located in a very quiet area at the end of a rural lane. It overlooks a small lake and many fields of grazing land for sheep. Our room was compact, but neat and clean. The bathroom was also compact with a stall shower, which we prefer. There was also a sitting area for our room just out side the bedroom door. We did not have time to enjoy the sitting room, but it was there for our enjoyment if needed.
The breakfasts were nicely prepared and served . Our hosts did all they could to make our stay comfortable. They even located a person to help us find the grave of an ancestor at a local cemetery.
The price of the room was quite a bit higher than we paid for similar rooms at other B & Bs where we stayed in the Republic of Ireland, but we were unable to find anything equivalent for less money in this area.

Anna's House was everything I expected and more. My mother and I stayed two nights in September and would happily return tomorrow. Our room, a main-floor twin room, was attractively decorated, clean and comfortable, with a patio door leading to the garden with beautiful views of a small lake and, in the distance, the Mourne Mountains. Yes, the food was delicious (especially liked the hot-from-the-oven sweet scones that Anna bakes fresh each morning), but the people, Anna and Ken, are the most important ingredient in the success of Anna's House. They're lovely people, warm and hospitable, who offer a sincere and genuine welcome to their home. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna's House to anyone travelling in Ireland.

We would recommend Anna's House to all our friends. Ken and Anna are warm and hospitable people, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Their house is stunning and the location beautiful.

We were made to feel completely at home, and our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a gourmet's delight, with homemade breads and jams, fruit salads and a wide range of cooked dishes. We couldn't have asked for more.

All in all, a great experience and excellent value for money.
