Tollyrose Country House is a six-room bed and breakfast on Hilltown Road outside Newcastle, run by Helen, who opened the guest house in 2009 once her own children had left home. The property sits on the doorstep of Tollymore Forest Park, within walking distance of its forest trails and close to the foot of the Mourne Mountains. Rooms are let on a bed-and-breakfast basis with breakfast cooked and served by the owner, and a separate loft apartment is available for longer stays. Tollyrose operates as a single guest house rather than part of a hotel chain, with Helen managing bookings and hosting guests directly. The forest and mountain setting has made the house a base for walkers heading into the Mournes.
