Callaghan’s cottage is a restored farmhouse dating from the mid 1800s. It has been in the possession of a local farming family for over one hundred years and was restored in the late 1990s to provide NITB 3 star self-catering accommodation as part of the Mountains of Mourne Country Cottages project.

The cottage has been restored with care to maintain the character and key historical features such as sash windows, half doors and an open fireplace. The cottage is situated near the foot of the Mourne mountains, down a series of country lanes, with views over the Mournes and surrounding countryside. Callaghan's cottage is a short distance from the other cottages at Hanna's Close.

The area which stretches between the Mourne Mountains and the Irish Sea is known as the Kingdom of Mourne and has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
