“Always have loved dominos. Had a bit of an issue as the wrong thing was made but they quickly corrected it and they were so friendly and helpful.”

“Very lovely beach. Wide and deep. Brilliant views from the coast. Small playground by the car park. Car park it self is small with spaces for maybe 15 cars but more parking opportunities along the ciast. Clean, tidy, well kept. There's a wee coffee trailer at the car park but it closes at 5pm and very often they only take cash. In all very good place to chill and relax if the weather permits.”

“Fantastic courses Greens perfect for time off year credit to greenskeepers Pace off play was brilliant thanks to starters Well worth the golf ireland rates”

“Castle Ward is a fabulous day out for the family. In addition to the house tour with its splendid architecture and story, the grounds and walks are lovely. Enjoy the stable square for coffee and bites to eat.”

“This is a great place for a family day out . The staff were great especially Dan who took us on the deer safari. 10 out of 10”

“We visited Fodder today and decided to have some Festive Fayre from their menu. We sat outside as we had 2 large dogs and quick as lightning a member of staff dried the picnic table and seats. Not only that, a beautiful deer hide rug was produced as well to sit on. An absolute delight sitting in the sun surrounded by twinkling Christmas Trees. The food which arrived promptly was absolutely delish. I had beef brisket with slaw and crispy onions served in a brioche bap, my other half had the Christmas burger which he declared very tasty. A great Christmas 'picnic', thoroughly enjoyed.”

“Went here as part of a game of thrones tour, lovely location, great walks. Is pretty flat route around the location except for the last little bit of a slope to the castle.”

“Lovely little castle (or really an old "tower house") within walking distance of Downpatrick. Great picnic area for families, dog-friendly with a spout and water bowl available. Beautiful gardens too!”

“Lovely friendly and welcoming bar. Good company. Great nights entertainment. Lovely welcoming and friendly staff”

“After cycling all day I needed to find somewhere to eat. Few places were open but then I found this: superb. Really lovely local craft beer which made a refreshing change, and superb food.”

“The gardens and butterfly house are well worth looking at. The house isn't very big, but there's plenty to see. We brought a picnic and supplemented it with tea coffee from the cafe. Sat at the picnic tables amongst the many peacocks and enjoyed the sun. Gardens and maze are beautiful.”

“Great experience. We did this as a stag do and had a great laugh throughout. The hosts/tour guides were great, funny and friendly. We did archery, axe throwing and got to walk around the grounds and were educated by where certain filmed scenes happened... All whilst dressed up as people from GOT. Would highly recommend for a good laugh with a group of friends.”

“So many amazing memories here. We’ve stayed in the apartments for over a month a few summers in a row. Love the restaurant. Love the staff. They actually supplied the drinks for our wedding. Just so many amazing people. The foods great. Located right in the heart of town. Very affordable.”

“If you want a friendly place to get a good feed, you couldn’t do much better. We use this wonderful spot as a place to meet for a coffee before kayaking the coastline. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is lovely and the food ie hearty and delicious.”

“Friendly atmosphere and would defo go back anytime.”

“A great butchers. Friendly & professional staff. Good meat & good value.”

“Friendly staff, food fresh and tasty. Clean and pleasant cafe.”

“Great shop lots of fresh food choice staff are helpful”

“I have fairly low expectations of coffee shops at public attractions/gardens but I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem. The flat white pulled using groupwork coffee from castlewellan was fantastic and would rival any of the hipster outlets in Belfast. Really nice traybakes and friendly staff.”
