Number 165 Widows Row is a Northern Ireland Tourist Board approved, grade 2 listed property in a row of 12 delightful cottages. These were built following the fishing disaster of 1843, the worst that ever occurred around the shores of County Down . It was a clear wintry morning on Friday 13th January 1843 when the local fishing fleet, 10 Shiffs (boats) set out from Newcastle and 6 from Annalong. The weather, being unusually fine for the time of year, the fisherman decided to go a little farther beyond their normal fishing ground, some 7 or 8 miles out in the channel and according to reports the they had “quite an uncommon take of fish”. Weather conditions changed suddenly and dramatically and the fleet was engulfed in gales and driving snow. 46 fishermen from Newcastle perished in the disaster, leaving behind 27 widows , 118 children and 21 dependants. A Public Subscription was raised and the cottages, known as Widows Row, were built for the widows and dependants. ​ The row has since then remained one of the iconic images of Newcastle. With a backdrop of the Mourne Mountains and uninterrupted panoramic views over the Harbour and the Dundrum B
I grew up in the cottage and it has been in the family for many generations, so it holds a very special place in my heart. I love to welcome guests so they can experience it's charm. Nothing is to much trouble for me and I pride myself on going to great lengths to ensure my guests have a memorable stay. I have many repeat guests which proves I'm doing something right!
