Strangford View Mews - Killyleagh - County Down - Northern Ireland

Strangford View Mews consists of 1 x 3 bedroom, 2 x 2 bedroom and 1 x 1 bedroom cottages.

The cottages (or mews) are converted 18th Century working horse stables that sit in an area of outstanding natural beauty, rich in history and nestled in the very heart of County Down. Their unique location allows guests to choose whether they spend their days immersed in the delightful local community, or to experience city life with the City of Belfast just a short drive or bus journey away. There are four cottages available (1 x 3 bed, 2 x 2 bed, 1 x 1 bed).

Employed as working horse stables in the 18th Century, the mews have been converted into beautiful, one of a kind apartments for our guests to enjoy. No detail was spared when we converted these beautiful buildings into living spaces.

The first floor lounges with their galley kitchens, pine floors and handcrafted antique furniture offer panoramic views of Strangford Lough and the surrounding countryside. As soon as you enter the cottages you are met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Each of the mews has its own unique layout and character, with two of them having two bedrooms, one with three bedrooms and one with one bedroom, there is sure to be an arrangement here to meet your needs perfectly.

Our mews cater well for the equestrian community. We are home to International Three Day Event rider Joseph Murphy. Riding holidays can be arranged with us and stabling is available for your horses or ponies onsite. We are great animal lovers and have a beautiful pet lodge just a short walk from the mews which allows our guests to plan their breaks with us and bring along their pets.

We are nestled in an area that is exceedingly wealthy in historical relics. The very name "Strangford" is derived from the Old Norse "Strangr-fjorðr", meaning Strong Fjord. This area was once a Viking stronghold and traditions from this time still live on today.

There are historical sites aplenty in our area: cathedrals, monasteries, forts, castles and towers. Only a twenty minute drive away is the town of Downpatrick, housing Down Cathedral: the final resting place of St Patrick.

In more recent times this area was home to much of the island's ruling Gentry, whose homes are now in the hands of the National Trust with many open to the public.
