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. Falls Church, Virginia - Feb 22, 2008

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!!! London - May 29, 2007
