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 Belfastcity 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.
Pet friendly on request. 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!

    Orchard Cottage was the best accommodation we've ever stayed in. Lovingly furnished, cozy, and fantastically located. Andrea and Malcom were the perfect hosts. Nothing was left to be desired here, and we were able to relax wonderfully. We hope to stay there again the next time we travel to Northern Ireland.

    A little slice of heaven. Wasn't sure what to expect after turning off the main road. Tucked back in the hills was the most perfect little cottage. Equipped with more than you'll ever need, it was a perfect home away from home. Malcom and Andrea welcomed us like we were family. From the first nights arrival giving a quick tour of the home and how to find what we needed, to detailed suggestions on places to see and trails to explore. My only regret was not staying longer. We will definitely be back and will be staying here again. thank you so much for a wonderful few days in Northern Ireland.

    Orchard Cottage is a living museum with beautiful gardens and renovated farm buildings, executed with artistic flair and masterful confidence. Plus neighbourly cows at the back fence. Perfect for some retreat time and yet close to many attractions, especially for nature lovers and historical explorers.

    We have stayed in 12 different locations during our two week tour of Ireland. This place was our favorite of them all! It has old world charm with meticulous architectural detail and convenience. They say that Ireland is beautiful, but the people of Ireland are even more so. Malcolm and Andrea are shining examples of truly good humans. Their little piece of paradise will forever be woven into our memories. If you are traveling near this area, you MUST make this your home for a bit.

    Orchard Cottage is idyllic! It is so comfortable and cosy and is generously equipped with absolutely everything you might need and is a real home from home. All possible details have been thought about and everything is of a really high standard. It's position makes it ideal for getting to lots of places of interest and the views are stunning with cows and sheep being the nearest neighbours in this peaceful haven.

    Property owner made our stay very welcome and kindly assisted in providing extra outdoor seating to accommodate a visit by our family and friends. Property comfortable and tastefully decorated. Every effort was made to ensure we had an enjoyable holiday with a well equipped kitchen, outdoor seating/lighting with wonderful views, comfortable lounge and bedroom. Really enjoyed our stay, many thanks to Malcolm and Andrea.

    Lovely cottage in the countryside. Well equipped - Andrea has thought of everything to make the cottage a real home from home. Both Malcolm and Andrea could not provide a better service. They are very welcoming and happy to share their knowledge of the area.
