Tourist attraction in Newtownards

“Simply majestic Great for dogs and family fun. Wi-Fi, and coffee shop are top notch”

“Guinness & Steak Pie with champ. What's not to like? Extremely friendly and welcoming bar lady. Spotlessly clean. Cracking prices.”

“A very relaxed and enjoyable meander. For that little bit of fresh air, Cairn Wood was a great option today. Every dog walker we encountered was well mannered and in control of their dog; excellent to see that! We did notice a few dog land mines however; this was a well kept public walk for sure. Several options of which trail you might choose to follow, all marked up well at each junction. The coffee served at Batch (in the car park) served up a decent, and perfectly hot, cup of coffee! The tray bake options are all pretty decent!!”

“Mediterranean dinner at Chef and Manager in Newtownards near Belfast. It is one of those places that do not exist on IG, yet known to locals and is always fully packed. We were so lucky to have got recommended it and to actually manage to get a table on a Friday! The food was exquisite, the flavours, the presentation, the staff, everything was done with extra care. One of those places when you feel the owners take it upon themselves to ensure you enjoy every detail. . What you see here is duck breast, so tender! Laid on some veggies, and a selection of sauces. Each of them takes you on a different journey. Second main was a rack of lamb (mint crusted), it had a charcoal flavour and the taste was complemented by Mediterranean veggies. Both dishes came with potato gratin. . For starters, we had beans soup and goat cheese fritters with beetroot and bread. I was so tempted to go there again during out short visit”

“Love this place so much, food always tasty, service excellent”

“Had an absolute great breakfast. Had my fair share of fry’s but the bacon and sausage were of a much higher quality. All together really good food and great value for money. Highly recommend a visit.”

“Haven't been here for a while and we hit it on a day when luckily enough the tide was out. We were able to reach the island but beware, if the tide has just gone out the causeway can be quite slippery. It gets better as it dries of course. Great scenery but sad to see empty beer cans and plastic bottles way out here as there are plenty of litter bins back at the well kept car park. There are also plenty of seats and picnic tables. Definitely a nice walk but only if the tide is out.”

“Finally visited the last WWT centre I had yet to see. There are the usual attractions for families, an excellent cafe and shop and plenty of hides. Not the best time of year to visit but we saw plenty of waders. Highly recommended if you have any interest in birds and/or little people to keep entertained.”

“Fabulous lunch today , we had chicken and ham pie superb ! Beetroot and hummus open sandwich delicious ! The garlic potatoes excellent and amazing coleslaw ! Lovely friendly staff... comfy and relaxing ...Yum !!!!”

“Adorable quiet park area with great bronze statues paying tribute to characters in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’. I had fun scouting around and finding all of them! Love the many varied works of CS Lewis and felt honored to have visited this place that honors him.”

“Excellent lunch time offer.A small pizza of choice with chicken caesar salad, plus a little cup of delicious Minestrone soup for a very decent price. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Brought food quickly plus all condiments including grated parmesan . Overall, a very pleasant quick lunch for me as a sole customer .Definitely my go to again when in that vicinity !Great.”

“Amazing pub in the East. Great atmosphere. Lots of craft beers. The outdoor pizza oven is incredible. Semi-coed bathrooms. A variety of ages here. I would say 30-40 predominantly but there's also parents with kids and older folk too. Really good vibe.”

“Lovely bar/restaurant, food is amazing and good range of cocktails and drinks. Staff are friendly and helpful. It does get quite busy and it's not the biggest so heads up for anyone with wheelchairs/walking aids.”

“Love this place, Fanta lemon frozen is literally nectar from the gods, the ice tea is great too!”
