Short Breaks


Short Breaks


Our Short Breaks service offers adults with learning disabilities the chance to enjoy time away from their usual home in a safe, friendly, and supportive environment.

We operate from a welcoming seven-bedroom house close to Downpatrick Town Centre.

Each bedroom is comfortable and fully furnished, and there are shared living areas where guests can relax, spend time together, and take part in activities.

Why Choose a Short Break with Mainstay?


Short breaks are a great way to:

  • Enjoy a change of scenery.
  • Try new activities and experiences.
  • Meet new people and make friends.
  • Give family members or carers valuable time to rest.
