Portaferry is a quiet town on Strangford Lough, ideally placed for visitors to the coastal area of Northern Ireland. Tastefully constructed from mid-18th century waterside houses, the hotel retains the unique character of a waterside inn. Superbly appointed bedrooms have been individually styled and furnished, many having waterside views. All rooms are en-suite with TV, direct-dial telephone and hairdryer. The hotel’s award-winning restaurant uses the best of local produce, including Ulster beef, Mourne lamb and game from neighbouring estates. The seafood offered, turbot, brill, sole, prawns and lobster, is landed daily at the local fishing villages of Portavogie and Ardglass. There are 8 golf courses within a long iron shot, including Royal County Down.
