Search hotels in Strangford Lough, United Kingdom

It's a beautiful little town, with stunning views and so much to explore. There are plenty of other towns nearby that you could easily get lost for hours or days exploring all of them. It's incredibly walkable, and there are several delicious restaurants nearby. Be sure to take the ferry across the lough to see the towns on the mainland. On the Ards Peninsula side, St. Cooey's Well is a must-see. Be sure to bring a ribbon to tie onto the tree to say a prayer/make a wish. It's an incredibly peaceful and holy place. Could not recommend Portaferry enough.

The location was close to amenities in Belfast as well as the surrounding countryside and coast. We visited National Trust properties Mount Stewart and Castle Ward and some lovely coastal towns such as Bangor and Donaghadee

The house was perfect,the view just sheer heaven. Kircubbin could be doing with a little investment compared to Greyabbey. On the plus side its very convenient to other towns and tourist spots and close to Belfast.

To be honest, I did not spend that much time in Comber itself. There are so many other places to visit in the area. Belfast, Strangford Lough and peninsula, Downpatrick, Newcastle, Mourne Mountains within easy driving distance. Comber was still a little bit quiet, with the lockdown just lifting. But everyone I met was very friendly. A good basis to explore a large part of Northern Ireland.

Strangford is a lovely little village with very friendly locals and just enough facilities. Nice little home bakery, good pub and 3 x decent restaurants. You can get the ferry over to Portaferry if desired but there are lots of things to do close to the town. Castle Ward is walking distance, nice little beach close by, Saul and Downpatrick are all within close driving distance.

Great place to stay quiet and great views. Close to all the coastal towns were there is no shortage of bars and restaurants. There is also some lovely beaches would recommend going to if the weather permits all in all we had a great few days

I was part of a group which stayed at this location for 1 night and glad it was only one night. Upon arrival of this property bedsheets where covered in makeup the musty damp smell was horrendous. The room which I slot in has dust damp and dirt especially in all corner spaces also the bed was supported with a folded up hand towel or flannel. Window ledges where dirty the down stairs shower/toilet room all corners of room was filthy even paint chippings lying in the corner. We paid £750 for one-night stay then ro be informed if wanted use of disco room and jacuzzi ans sauna we had to pay an extra £200 which we did. The disco room as they call it was there living room. With a few sofas and projector. There jacuzzi wasn't even warm it was being heated with heating lamps and was not the heat a jacuzzi should go. There was also not enough wood provided for the sauna. All furniture looks old and definitely has not been washed down. If you fumigated this property you would still smell the must! Now before we left property we hoovered made beds cleaned ad done dishes etc. But we left a few items especially my little nephews bottles which re certain bottles that the baby will only drink from and the conman owner is refusing to give the items back until we payan additional payment of £60 for what he says is bad odours in certain rooms. He is blamng our dog for this and is trying to say he has to get extra special cleaning done. Absolute joke! Conman of owner! Unhygienic place with furniture from the 18th century. Avoid at all cost! Absolutely do not recommend this place at all. Leaving this review as owner is now not answering calls or texts and trying to deny that he was not aware a pet who coming when we have the evidence to prove otherwise! The dog did chew the fish net and hose which I did offer to pay for that but the owner is nothing but a cons man wouldn’t go near it ever again and certainly not getting money off me

LIVENS UP A BIT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND PUBS / RESTAURANTS DO WELL OPENING WED - SUN., MANY CLOSING MON TUE. LOTS OF HISTORY GOING BACK TO VIKINGS AND BEFORE. ATE IN THE SALTHOUSE AT PORTAFERRY SAILING CLUB WHICH WAS FULLY BOOKED. EXCELLENT QUALITY AND QUANTITY, AND VERY DECENT PRICING COMPARED TO MANY. A COUPLE OF COFFEE SHOPS , THE PORTAFERRY HOTEL, SEVERAL GOOD PUBS. SHORE LINE IS FAIRLY FLAT AND THEN FOLLOW EITHER FERRY ST OR CASTLE ST (UP HILL) TOWARDS THE TOWN SQUARE - EUROSPAR / WINEMARK / MARKET HOUSE / SHOPS / BUTCHERS / CHIP SHOPS / PUBS. FROM THE SQUARE TAKE THE LEFT ST PAST FIDDLERS PUB FURTHER UP CHURCH ST TO COACH INN (SANDS) THEN TO THE RIGHT, UP ANN ST TO LOCAL CLINIC.

Newtownards isn’t the prettiest of places but it was well placed for what we required. Handy for Belfast City, but also well placed for visits to places like Newcastle, Bangor, Killyleagh, Strangford Loch.

The village is quite small, but it’s convenient, everything is on the street Few pub and restaurant didn’t open on Thursday, chippy closed by 830, but we managed to get some food from Chinese takeaway and supermarket
