About The Brambles
The Brambles, on Mill Road in Annalong a short drive south of Newcastle, is the renamed and refurbished former Glassdrumman Lodge, bought in December 2023 and rebuilt as an exclusive-use retreat. The main house sleeps up to sixteen across eight bedrooms, with a separate three-bedroom cottage, The Briers, available alongside it for larger groups.
Inside, the house runs to a full kitchen, a sixteen-seat dining room, a bar and a library, with a hot tub and grounds outside. It is let as a whole property rather than by the room, making it better suited to family gatherings, golf groups or celebrations than a standard hotel stay.
Its position in the Mourne foothills near Annalong puts it within easy reach of the southern end of the Mourne Wall and the coast road into Newcastle, Kilkeel and Royal County Down.
