What People Say

“Bryansford Cottage was the perfect location… for so many reasons.
The breathtaking nature within walking distance, unique and comfortable accommodation plus amazing hosts who really ‘got’ what I wanted to deliver on the retreat and went the extra mile to help facilitate that and added a lot of extra value.” – Scott Riley, Founder of Causeway Living and Wim H of Method Instructor who has hosted a weekend retreat and a number of one-day events at Bryansford Cottage

“From planning the workshop to the actual day, Mary and Jay attention to details was second to none. The studio was perfectly set up for our Pilates class, looking out to the Mourne and the near by fields. Guests were greeted with juice shots of ginger and apple and at the break enjoying tea/coffee and an amazing fresh fruit platter. Everyone left the workshop feeling relaxed and recharged.” – Will & Izzy, COREMVMT, Hosted a Wellness Workshop at Bryansford Cottage.

“This beautiful venue… is great to use as a learning venue because of the unspoilt stunning views of the Mournes … which are really conducive to helping people getting into that creative, problem solving space. Delegates were able to wonder around the large garden for some of the learning activities and we were able to use Tollymore Forest as it is just a 1 min walk from Bryansford Cottage. Delicious snacks and lunch were provided all day and Mary’s attentiveness allowed me to fully focus on my guests. I found this venue to be unique, atmospheric, relaxed and comfortable, ideal for the programmes and events that I provide.” – Olivia Cleland, Coach Practitioner and Owner of Actual Impact
