Relax and unwind at this unique and tranquil getaway. Metres from the beautiful Castleward estate and only a few minutes from County Downs most picturesque village. This one bedroom cottage is nestled in the grounds of the stunning listed Alms House constructed in 1832 by Lady Ward. A perfect place for couples to enjoy the stunning countryside and idyllic Strangford Lough at the same time.\ ** We have recently added a private wood fired hot tub that can be added to your stay. Please contact the host for more details and costs**
Travel is my life :)
Pet friendly property on the edge of the beautiful National Trust Castleward Estate. Just 1.2miles or 3 minutes drive from the majestic village of Strangford. Lots of amazing beaches within 5 miles of the property.
