The rooms and owners were great. Breakfast was wonderful. The views were incredible. Loved sitting out on the shore. Quiet and restful the only issue we had is that no restaurants were open after 7 pm. So we had to eat before heading back to Portaferry. Would highly recommend.

A bit of a mixture, the windows had gaps, the shower pressure was not good and the bed soft.On the other hand great location, lovely views, good TV with catch up. The proprietor and his wife were helpful and friendly. The accommodation just felt a little expensive for what it was. .

100% recommended

Lovely guesthouse, we really enjoyed our stay! Great service! Nice room with fridge included. There's a good sized garden as well where our pup could run about. I loved not having to get dressed and walk on the street at night to let her go to toilet before bedtime. Be careful with showers, if hot water runs out you need to wait for water to heat up again, but honestly it only takes a few mins. Breakfast was a huge portion and delicious, definitely recommend it! We had dinner at the portaferry hotel and it was gorgeous, we left stuffed!

Family owned business that strives to meet every accommodation and dietary need. It was the perfect location for our itinerary; the very short ferry crossing was convenient and timely.
