Situated
minutes from the shores of
Strangford Lough near Newtownards
in County Down, Northern Ireland, the two
hundred year old building now Cunningburn
Cottages was once part of the first Lord
Londonderry's estate.
Great effort
has been made to ensure that this quality
accommodation retains much of its original
rural atmosphere and character, while
ensuring modern levels of comfort. Much of
the furniture in the cottages was especially
commissioned and has been hand made by local
craftsmen.
The
accommodation consists of both one
and two bedroomed cottages, each with
open-plan ground floor comprising kitchen,
living and dining area with pine kitchen
units and furniture. Upstairs are bedrooms
and bathroom. The one bedroomed cottage
sleeps two to three, while the two bedroomed
cottage can accommodate four.
Facilities include colour
television and oil-fired central heating in
all the cottages. A floodlit, sheltered
barbecue area, a well equipped laundry room
and ample parking are also available within
the complex.
Nearby
attractions in this area of natural
beauty are many and include fishing, golf,
horse riding, country sports and walking.
The eighteenth-century Mountstewart Estate
is situated within a mile of the
accommodation. The renowned Ulster Folk and
Transport Museum at Cultra is a twenty
minute drive away, while Castle Espie
Wetlands and Wildfowl Centre, the Exploris
Aquarium and Scrabo Country Park are all
within easy access.
A recently opened attraction in the vicinity
is The
Battletown
Gallery.
It offers a varied programme of contemporary
Irish art and will soon be providing short
tutored residential courses for the
interested amateur.

Our travelling party of four
stayed in a two-bedroom cottage here in January 2008 for a week. The location is
great: within a few minutes of the town of Newtownards and in commuting distance
to Belfast, while still being in a calm rural setting on the Ards peninsula. Our
cottage far surpassed our expectations, with a fully supplied kitchen, modern
bathroom, excellent furnishings, and a gas fire. The proprietors, Terry and Jim,
were very friendly and stopped to talk with us several times. They also have a
very smart and playful Welsh Border Collie, Tess. Those staying here will most
likely have a car, but there is a bus line at the end of the road, a 10-minute
walk, that links to Newtownards and Belfast. If you are coming to Northern
Ireland for a week or longer, this is the place to stay.

The cottages have been converted from a
16th century barn and retain many original features but with all the comforts
you would want. Located at the end of a tree lined avenue it is the perfect
place to escape in quiet privacy. Lots of nice walks nearby and the owners - who
have farmed here for generations - are full of local knowledge. No nightclubs
within 5 miles - yipee!!!
