Family-friendly holiday rentals in Strangford Lough

stayed at Caroline's to celebrate a friend's upcoming nuptials. We enjoyed all the amenities, hosting yoga on the astro, an evening in the hot tub and a dance class on the patio. we ate in with some catering and the basics were all there with lies of kitchenware. Caroline had very kindly set up an afternoon tea for our arrival which was a delightful surprise.

Booked this house for a wee treat getaway for my mother who just went through cancer treatment with a bunch of girls & we had the best time from start to finish. The place was beautiful very spacious, had everything we needed & we really enjoyed the hottub. The host was so helpful & answered any questions i had within seconds. Would definitely recommend this place

Orla's property was a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life. A beautiful wee gem in nature, log cabin exactly as pictured, clean with all facilities to enjoy your stay. Orla was very responsive to any questions asked. We are glad we got the added extra of the hot tub, which was lovely to relax and take in the stunning views of the sun setting. We fell in love with their beautiful dogs Marti and Gerry it was lovely to get a wee visit, they were very friendly. We would definitely recommend their accommodation for an escape. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you 😊

The location of this house so near to the beach is just lovely. The area, at the base of the Mourne mountains is also lovely, the granite stone walls are particularly cool. The village of Annalong is quiet and you would need a car to get around the area. Well stocked Circle K shop very nearby and the pizza from YoYo was delicious. The owner next door was so friendly and helpful and I fully intend on staying again.

An excellent cottage and location for a family get-away. The cottage has a wonderful view and all of the comforts necessary for a restful break. For us, the hot-tub really made the place stand out.

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

There were 7 of us and we found the house to be spacious, clean and tidy, in beautiful surroundings. It was a good base to travel to neighbouring towns. Overall we had a great time in a beautiful house.

We had a wonderful stay, we brought our 2 dogs and all thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Aileen is a superb host, always on hand to answer any questions or just have a quick chat. We enjoyed watching the horses and chickens being attended to throughout the day and the hot tub was a lovely way to end the days after walking along the beach or hiking in the mountains. 100% recommend

Harlan barge was a wonderful adventure that created lasting memories for us. We planned this trip in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid. Gillian was an amazing host and very responsive. I am certain you will enjoy your stay.

Lovely residence exactly as described even down to little things like fresh flowers in every room and fresh milk in the fridge. Bed lovely and comfy so had excellent nights sleep. Would highly recommend.

It was a lovely place and easy to navigate around, We where going to a concert in Belsonic and it was a great walkable distance.

Jay was there to meet us when we arrived, he was very friendly and helpful with lots of local tips. The location was close to town and the trailhead at Donard Park. The space was large and comfortable. Recommended

Bronach’s cottage is quirky and quite lovely - it sort of gives you a hug as soon as you walk in. It was lovely to find home made bread & cookies in the kitchen together with essentials in fridge - milk butter yogurts etc. so thoughtful and very much appreciated Although it feels very private with a slightly overgrown garden crammed with roses foxgloves and fuchsia - it is only a 10 drive from Holywood. I found the bed very comfortable and the bright clean bathroom had plenty of towels etc. loved the shabby chic furniture and Avoca & Bewley mugs - it’s well equipped

We had the best 2 night stay in the Shepards hut ! From being surrounded by the absolutely stunning gardens, meeting the wild ducks and peahen 🦚 🦆 to exploring the absolutely stunning coastline and the Galloway forest park it really had everything we could have asked for and more. Our Hosts were absolutely lovely and did everything to make sure we had an epic stay. We loved having the gardens to ourselves it felt like we’d walked into another world. The bed was super comfy and the hut had everything we needed for our stay ! It was so cozy and clean and we will definitely come back in the near future ! It’s located perfectly as well with the tearoom on site and only being a 15 minute drive from Stranraer and 13 minute drive away from the Kitchen Coos and Ewes which we highly recommend doing whilst in the area if you want to get up close and cuddle and groom highlands cows. For more ideas of what is in the area or to see more of the accomodation check out These wild adventures on YouTu

what a find, absolutely stunning cottage in an excellent peaceful location with the resident donkeys lol...what a gem of a place and so so peaceful. Paula is a genuine host who cares passionately about her cottage and her guests, and is very genuine when dealing with her guests.. Highly highly recommended and we will defs be back....thank you Paula and keep up the good work x

Gillian’s place is a Lovely cosy house set in beautiful countryside, very quiet and private place it was ideal for our needs. We travelled to the Balmoral Show during our stay. We ate in local restaurants in Saintfield which were also very tasty with very pleasant staff We really enjoyed our stay Thank you Gillian

Great accommodation in the center of Belfast. The recommendations by Tony were great, Nu Delhi gave us some great food. The mighty bridge house wetherspoons is also round the corner for a cheap pint. Last of all, the included Netflix account allowed for some unforgettable experiences watching the blockbuster series: Is It Cake? Season 3. All in all, great value for a good spot.

This is an excellent apartment. So close to the city centre and very quiet. Very easy to get to and from the city walking across the railway bridge which is closest to the apartment and a second bridge just 5 mins away. The beds were great. It felt very safe and only one floor up it was easy to access the car if we needed anything. And the lift is great when bringing luggage. Lovely view of the river. I would have liked more pots and pans in the kitchen as we do like to cook and try the local produce especially that St George's market is a 10 min walk away. We did not use the car only once to explore the coastline. Highly recommend.

Clean and comfortable, and Shauna is friendly and helpful. Great to have an easily adjusted shower - no scalding, no freezing, perfect water pressure. Large bed and bedroom, separate TV room with microwave, toaster, fridge etc. House in beautiful area, shop, takeaway and pub a few minutes drive down hill. Hope to stay here again!

Nearly everyday, Nicola checked in with us, when she could find us. 😊. We loved talking to her and she took a genuine interest in us. We were mainly in Belfast to see friends, so didn’t eat much more than breakfast there. However, the kitchen was well appointed and we found everything we would have needed to prepare a fine meal. We had a hiccup one morning when the electric tea kettle bit the dust. I sent her communication and she was out the door in about 15 minutes. Back in a flash with a brand new kettle. No questions asked. We were just delighted to be there and in her care. Would highly recommend her place.

A lovely presented cottage in the countryside. Great for a holiday when you want to be outside the cities and towns. There are great places to visit from this area both locally and further afield. There are historical areas of interest, beautiful countryside, and even a local micro brewery. If you love poetry visit the Kavanagh centre in Inniskeen. You do need a car to get around but it is worth the effort to get aquainted with the area especially the towns, restaurants and the lovely tea shops. Highly recommended.

Karen's flat is really cool, so central to Belfast and near the Titanic. Karen gave lots of suggestions for places to eat and drink and I enjoyed many. My new favourite drink is a baby guinness. I went on a really interesting historical walk too, called Conflicted Stories walk. So lot's to enjoy and feed your mind in Belfast.

Diane was a brilliant host, she was able to have the place ready for us early. She replied super quickly to any messages we sent, and was really on the ball about letting us know details before our trip. After we had left something behind in the flat, Diane was so helpful and met us to give it back, again being super responsive and really quick in replying which we really appreciated! The space itself was absolutely immaculate. It had loads of amenities, and Diane left some snacks and loads of recommendations for us. The addition of the air fryer was so handy, as we were aware there is not a full kitchen we were delighted to be able to use it. Diane thought of everything! It looked just like the photos, and is in a nice and quiet area. It's completely walkable to the city, and the balcony was a real plus for us! A great stay if you're in Belfast.

Four generations of our family stayed here for a week while here to celebrate my sons wedding in Tullyveery Killyleagh. What a week of weather! What a fantastic property which has been beautifully and lovingly restored. Very comfortable seats and beds and the space can be and is comfortably warm despite the high ceilings in the living area. We never needed to use the log burning stove .The road outside can be busy during the day but quiet at night. Strangford is a lovely wee place with a few shops and eating places and walks on the doorstep. NT Castleward is very nearby too. A 5 min ferry takes you over the other side to Portaferry where you can explore that side of Strangford loch. We enjoyed our trip very much and would love to return one day. Many thanks to Marty who is very helpful and responsive to communications
