Newtownards Magherascouse Lough Hotels

"The car park had plw ryvof spaces, the hotel was very clean and the staff was lovely deom the start the whole way through. Our room was a good size nd warm nd very comfortable. We would stay here again, quiet area disnt really hear any traffic which was good. "

"We had problems finding the property - the phone satnav directed us to Ballynahinch Water Treatment Works, but the host responded quickly to our email by phone, and gave us better directions. She left a light on at the property, and the key in the door.Gardeners Cottage exudes charm and character...and will be lovely in the summer. The underfloor heating is insufficient. Upon arrival, the overpowering smell of bleach was hard to stand. The place was cold and damp, and the plug in radiator had made little impression. Sadly, there was mould on the walls, in the bathroom and kitchen cupboards. Cobwebs and dirt were in evidence. Maintenance is required to replace the broken skylight, repaint the windows and see to the electrics. What was obviously set up as a pleasant space requires some TLC. The cold tap in the bathroom is not attached to the sink. The kettle leaked through the switch, so we used the microwave to heat water for drinks. The WiFi was paused before 10pm, which made research online difficult. There was no welcome pack, and no interaction with the hosts. Another easy chair would be good in the bedroom. The supermarket in Saintfield was wonderful."

"Perfect for a relaxing few days. Great hospitality in the beautiful County Down countryside. "

"We had a marvellous stay at Lamon the staff was very friendly as well as helpful. The food in the restaurant was wonderful. "

"We had an excellent stay at The Cornmill. The cottage is charming, quaint, and completely cozy. It was also a short drive to Belfast city centre. When we arrived we were so pleased to see that the whole place had been decorated for Christmas. A lovely tree was in the upstairs living area and there were twinkling lights outside. We were greeted with a welcome bottle of prosecco, chocolates, and other snacks. The kitchen had everything one might need to cook a meal - I even made a Sunday roast. The cooker was a large multi-oven one with lots of glass top hobs. We were delighted to find some staples waiting for us in the fridge as well. There was milk, OJ, yogurt, and strawberries which saved us a trip to the shops for breakfast items.Lindsay was the perfect host. She made us feel very welcome. She was very responsive and was quick to answer all of our our questions. She also gave great local restaurant recommendations.I can't recommend a stay at The Cornmill highly enough. We can't wait for our next visit."

"We had a great time at the stable! The property was beautiful, clean and close to Belfast. Robena was an amazing and thoughtful hostess. She also communicated well throughout the process-from initial booking, to a week before and then about the check in process. She made us homemade goodies and left other treats for us, something we appreciated as we had not had dinner yet when we checked in! We would totally recommend this property as well as Robena being an amazing hostess!! Would definitely stay again if we were in the area again. "

"Apartment was easy to get to and clean. Beds were super comfy after a long day's travel. "

"A lovely property in a great peaceful location with spectacular views across the lough. We did lots of activities: paddle boarding, scuba, trips to the beach, horse riding and the Game of Thrones studio tour. The property was perfect for all of this. Dog friendly as well. "

"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."
