Excellent stay. Covid rules are followed very thoroughly, which made us feel at ease. Chris and Sid were lovely people, was lovely chatting with them. Room was huge, very clean and tidy as was ensuite. Breakfast was a lovely feast. Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, loads of choices of cereal/granola. Cooked breakfast of bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms and beans. Lovely home made jams to choose from also. Definitely recommend and hope to return one day.

Emma

United KingdomThe room is impeccably appointed and comfortable. Its obvious how carefully the innkeepers worked to ensure the entire facility would be welcoming and a pleasant experience for their guests. The husband and wife team gave us tips to find local food and attractions, were friendly and responsive, and provided a gourmet-level breakfast with locally sourced food. We enjoyed everything about our stay and wish it could have been longer.

Portaferry is at the southern-most part of the Ards Peninsula and is easily accessible by road from Newtownards and by ferry from Strangford.
Guests regularly comment on our locally sourced breakfasts– bread, sausages, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes all sourced from the local suppliers in Portaferry . We purchase our eggs from 16 year old Luke who sells directly from his father’s farm and our Granola is sourced just four doors away from our friends at Just Live a Little.
In 2015 we gained a Green Tourism Silver Award. We are also a Booking com Award holder for our 9.8 score and we hold a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for customer satisfaction.
Attractions on the Ards Peninsula include Mount Stewart, Kirkistown Motor Circuit and Exploris.
The local area is popular with tv and film producers and Portaferry was a main location for the 2008 tv series 'The Invisibles'. The charming Kearney Village, a National Trust property just 3 miles away, was a central location for the recent BBC-1 wartime series 'My Mother and Other Strangers'. Portaferry itself was recently used as the location for the 2017 film 'The Bookshop'.
A ferry trip across the lough is Castle Ward in Strangford, used as Winterfell in Game of Thrones. It has many good loughside trails which highlight the various locations used in the series.
There are three beaches a short drive or cycle ride away including Cloughey Beach, Quintin Bay and Knockinelder Beach.

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
