    Such a perfect little oasis. Steph is a marvellous hostess and has thought of every little detail to make a stay here perfect. As a couple we found the setting really romantic. The bed was so comfy and toasty and we loved lying relaxing listening...

Steph Garratt
A bespoke shepherd hut with stunning views overlooking Whiterock Bay in Strangford Lough, County Down- Perfect for families or couples -sleeps a family of four in a king bed, bunk beds, kitchenette and bathroom, with private outdoor space with firepit and picnic table overlooking the bay as well as comfortable Muskoka chairs. It’s finished to a high end and located in the most stunning of areas with proximity to Belfast and the Mournes for any day excursions and lots of outdoor activities on your doorstep including sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, cycling, walking and many more. A Bell Tent is also available to book during the warmer months May to September if you wish to add up to four additional guests - please contact me prior to booking as this incurs an additional cost
There is plenty to do and all within striking distance be it outdoor activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, mountain walks or the museums of Belfast and indoor play parks such as We are Vertigo or Clip n Climb
