“Just perfect”
We stayed here for 4 nights and didn’t want to leave so requested if we could stay an extra night. A beautiful house with everything you need. Beautiful location with lots of nearby attractions.… More

“Perfect peaceful getaway”
House was beautiful & had everything we needed. Is in the peaceful countryside but still not too far from places to go. Would recommend & would definitely love to stay again some time.

“Wonderful house and location!”
The house is situated in beautiful countryside with magnificent views. It is a clever extension of an old gatehouse retaining nice features and an attractive interior and exterior. The house was the best equipped of any we have stayed at with large comfortable beds and great storage in all rooms. It was spotlessly clean and the owner was helpful but not intrusive. The garden space provided pleasant opportunities for outside meals and watching the beautiful Red Kites gliding gracefully across the sky. There was lots to do during our visit and the Montalto Estate near Ballynahinch was a favourite.

Response from the owner I am sorry you feel that your trip was spoiled Davina. I normally knock the door some time after guests arrive to ensure that they can manage heating controls, access internet and deal with any queries. Most welcome advice on local points of interest, shopping etc.and how to contact me if necessary. During out conversation just before you left, you told me how lovely the lodge was and how you had enjoyed your stay. My cleaner and I were disappointed to discover that permanent damage had occurred in the main bathroom. Namely dark stains on the floor, shower curtain and towel. You said they had been caused by hair dye and you had tried to clean up. The cords of a Roman blind in the entrance hall had come off. The supplier came to fix it. While I was mowing roadside grass after 10am.on the morning of your departure, you were packing your car, so I did start on the large garden. I was careful not to go near the lodge. We are proud of our 5 star historic lodge and have enjoyed sharing it with wonderful guests since 2012. We always respect their privacy and do our best to ensure they have a great stay. I am sorry this issue has ended in acrimony.
