Mourne Holiday Havens - Maggie's Croft

Maggie's Croft is part of Mourne Holiday Havens, a self-catering equestrian stay in Castlewellan, Northern Ireland. The property is set up for horse owners and riders visiting the Mourne area, offering a base that combines holiday accommodation with full livery facilities. Guests bring their own horses and make use of the on-site stabling and training space.

The outdoor sand school measures 20m by 40m and is available for hire. Five stables are provided alongside a tack room, giving visiting riders everything needed to keep horses on site for the duration of a stay. The cottage itself sleeps holidaymakers rather than offering ridden lessons, so the focus is on independent riders planning their own hacking and schooling in the surrounding countryside.

Facilities at the cottage include a drying room, hot shower, sauna and hot tub, as well as secure bike lockup, parking and wifi. The accommodation holds a 4 star Tourism NI rating, reflecting the standard of the self-catering setup. The 20m x 40m sand school and outdoor arena give ample room for flatwork and schooling sessions between rides out.

Maggie's Croft sits within the Mourne area, close to the forest park at Castlewellan and within reach of the wider Mourne and Down riding country. The postcode is BT31 9ER. The property is listed on the British Horse Society approved register, giving riders an established point of contact for equestrian stays in the region. Anyone interested in booking or arranging sand school hire should get in touch with Mourne Holiday Havens directly to check availability and rates.
