Characterful and Peaceful Cottage

This is a wonderful and characterful place to stay. The hosts are so welcoming and friendly and were glad to chat about the fascinating eco-construction of the cottage if you are interested. Lot's to do and see in the area

Thanks so much Stan. It was great to meet you both. Glad you were interested in the eco aspect and the sea chart of Strangford Lough. For anyone looking at this review, our cottage is also called Hemp Cottage, because the walls are made of cast Hempcrete.

Best place to stay in County Down!

Beautiful, very well appointed and comfortable cottage in a really lovely and secluded location. But Strangford Lough is in easy cycling reach, Belfast is pretty close (cyclists can take the greenway from Comber), there are very friendly bars a couple of miles away and the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea half an hours drive down the road. Or you can just sit around drinking excellent gin from the local distillery, watching the dippers in the river and absorbing the peace. Enjoy!
