Lovely time despite the weather!

Went for just 3 days for a mini meditation retreat. Even though it was stormy weather, I still managed to get in the hot tub 3 times which was wonderful. It's definitely worth getting up early to catch the sunrise over the lough also - stunning view. Overall great stay :)

An Absolutely Perfect Stay at Strangford Lough!Our stay at Robin's beautiful VRBO in Killinchy was a huge part of what made it so special.The cottage was pristine, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need. It was the perfect cozy retreat after a day of exploring the stunning Strangford Lough and surrounding areas.The location is idyllic, offering a peaceful and serene escape while still being conveniently close to local pubs and scenic walking paths. It's clear that Robin takes immense pride in their property and genuinely cares about their guests' experience.We couldn't recommend this place more highly. Thank you, Robin, for your outstanding hospitality! We're already dreaming of our next visit.

Immaculately clean cabin

We have a fabulous stay from start to finish in this lovely cabin. The cabin was located behind the main house, but was totally private. Everything we needed was there. We toured around all around strangford lough, Downpatrick and Newcastle. We didn’t see our hosts only at check in as we didn’t need them for anything. Checkin our host Thomas was very friendly and welcoming and covered all we needed to know. Would highly recommend the cabin, it’s pristine, private and very beautiful. Oh and the hot tub was wonderful esp a after a days walking.

Best hot tub View in Ireland

This family accommodation was excellent for my wife and I and better than we could of imagined. We have stayed in different places before that has hot tubs but not with a view like we had. Accommodation is amazing and Robin the owner is always there to help if required. We will talk about our time here with our friends and will probably return in future

A cosy cabin getaway.

A cosy, roomy and very comfortable cabin-style cottage with all the facilities needed for a quiet and relaxing break. The location was perfect for visits to several NT properties, Hillsborough Castle and the Castle Espíe wildfowl sanctuary, as well as exploring the coastline and islands of Strangford Lough. The owners could not have been more helpful, providing barbecue facilities and exclusive use of a separate summer house with sauna, hot tub and spectacular views across the lough - perfect for relaxing at the end of the day.
