Orchard Cottage barn conversion romantic retreat. Escape to the country.

This 4 star plus barn conversion is part of a wee clachan of farm outbuildings that have been tastefully renovated to a very high standard. Recently voted one of the top 20 quirkiest yet charming places to stay in Northern Ireland. Once the farmhouse and buildings of a large farm it now comprises long term and short term accommodation in self contained cottages. Relaxing retreat in the country yet 10 minutes from three towns. Thirty minutes drive from Belfast port. 25 from Belfast city airport & 45 minutes from International airport. Find tranquility in this hidden gem. Unique rock face wall in the bedroom with original exposed beam. Magnificent balcony that is private yet has lovely views of the countryside. Well equipped modern kitchen with breakfast bar. Stairs down to the bedroom with exposed rock face and bathroom. Romantic escape and popular for mini moons. Nearby amenities includes Mount Stewart National Trust house and gardens, Scrabo Tower, Titanic exhibition, Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Field of Dreams (field sports activity centre), Gransha Riding Centre, Somme Heritage Centre and Strangford Lough. Many golf courses within a few miles. Nearest beach, 10 minutes drive. Crawfordsburn country park and Scrabo country park both within 15 mins drive. Well behaved pets are welcome but strictly by prior arrangement and approval. No yappy or aggressive dogs please as there are dogs in each of the adjoining cottages of the wee clachan. Ideal place to holiday close to family but have your own space. Surrounded by lovely gardens and country lanes to walk. The property is not best suited to very large or tall people. Inherently it's a barn conversion with narrow hallways and stairs and low ceilings. Cosy and quirky but don't want anyone to be uncomfortable or inconvenienced. We have built external steps to the balcony to try and assist those less able but we are constrained by dint of the nature of a 100 year old stone barn!
