Set in breathtaking scenery in the Strangford and Lecale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the banks of Strangford Lough, our converted stables are the perfect place to relax and re-charge. We are only 20 minutes from Belfast and but once here, Ballygraffan is like a sanctuary where you can get back in touch with nature and de-stress. There is plenty to do whether it be visiting the local tourist attractions around the Strangford Peninsula, such as the National Trust properties at Mount Stewart and Castleward, availing of the excellent eating establishments or simply relaxing in the unique ambiance of the setting. This converted stable, of which there are only two, is beautifully presented and remarkably spacious. We hope that you will wake up feeling totally refreshed. They really were working stables until recently and are named after the horse whose stable it used to be. In this case - Maurice! You can open the patio doors, and look out over the beautiful view from your bed. The balcony gets sun in the morning and evening so it's the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast or a 'sun-downer' in the evening. You can do as little or as much as you want on your stay and you will always receive a warm welcome. A welcome pack is provided made of many homemade treats for you to savour and enjoy. You may find that you never want to leave. Please note that this listing is for one of the stables and is suitable for a couple or single person.
