Guest Reviews
- Keith (6/5): Clean room but cold shower didn’t cut it - Clean Cold shower
- Katie (10/5): -
- Sarah (5/5): No hot water is dissapponting - Clean and comfortable No hot water for the second time to shower in the morning and there were no channels on the television in the room. I did contact the property about this and got no response.
- Rimsha (8/5): - Nice and comfortable place to stay. Had everything we needed and the complimentary coffee was a nice touch! Would recommend staying
- Christopher (8/5): Ideal place to stay if in Strangford. - Smart, clean and roomy bedroom Two short steps down into bedroom. Also breakfast not starting to 10am was a bit inconvenient but was excellent
- Chris (8/5): Strangford getaway - Accommodation just what was needed, very clean, nice touch with the crisps and bottles of water, tea and coffee making facilities were very good, very good bathroom and shower. Toilet seat was loose and could break at anytime, to the right of our bedroom (room5)window there must be a air conditioning unit and it's quite noisy ,thankfully it stopped at 11pm!!!!still quite a distraction, overall not much not to like about our stay
- Lisa (8/5): Would stay again - Absolutely perfect location right in Strangford. Lovely quirky decor Great tea/coffee facilities Crisps left Would stay again It was very hot - thank goodness the fan was provided. It was a particularly warm day. The towels were soooo fluffy..... the fluff was sticking to me and all attached to my face and lashes!
- Sarah (8/5): Good overall - Very clean and comfortable No hot water , did discuss with property owner who offered me to access a new room for hot water.
- Christophe (4/5): VERY disappointing - Location at Strangford Availability of different coffees and teas in the room No staff in the hotel and only contact via WhatsApp The bed was much too hard (absolutely NOT comfortable) The shower was NOT clean No possibility to get breakfast during the week
- Mark W (9/5): Great location - Very nice appointed rooms with exceptional bathrooms. In the deluxe double the green light on smoke alarm was very bright but a minor issue.
- David (8/5): -
- Niamh (7/5): -
- CMcCcccc (9/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Great spot! - Great spot! Nothing
- Leslie (10/5): Excellent - Right in the centre and restaurant part off building
- Stuart (6/5): Nice property but the noise from the property services is a deal breaker! - Good central location. We were in Room 6, the noise from either from the flu for the heating or the fan servicing the cafe was extremely annoying, didn’t stop to 11.30pm

- Steven (10/5): -
- Maeve (10/5): Would definitely book again - I liked how close the property was to the Cuan bar as we were attending a 70th birthday. It was a two minute walk back to the room. We had the corner room with the street view and it was cosy, warm and secure.

- Marta (10/5): Cosy, comfy stay. Loved it - Very tidy and clean, small but has everything you would need for a short stay. Great shower and comfy bed. Highly recommend!
- sean (8/5): -
- Katie (7/5): Good value for money for a short stay. - Central and close to the ferry. Good value for money for a short stay. The room was a bit too compact. No breakfast available as the Artisan was closed when we were there. I suspect we would have had a better experience if we had stayed at a weekend.

- Christian (10/5): After dining with family at the Artis, we stayed overnight in Strangford. Best decision ever. - We did not avail of the breakfast, but would like to sample next time. The location was a gem and would definitely hopefully soon. It was peaceful and calm. We also booked a table next in the restaurant next to our table and the person who waited at our table, was wonderful. Nothing to dislike.

- david (9/5): -
- Simon (10/5): Excellent stay, food and location - Very welcoming on arrival, fantastic food room wasa good size and very comfortable. Everything was excellent. Breakfast starts at 10amwhich is a bit late.
- Jack (9/5): -
- Amy (10/5): Excellent stay we will be back - This property is nicely located in the heart of the town. It has a nice and prince that is safe with a code on the door to you then and a code to get into your room very clean very modern and well decorated. We felt very comfortable here. The restaurant was amazing. The food was lovely and we will definitely return. We loved everything
- Les (10/5): - Lovely well decorated bedroom with tea and coffee making facilities and big TV. The bathroom was modern and the shower was huge. The only difficulty was gaining access to the room with the security code. Each time we went back to the room we kept being denied access. Eventually it worked each time. The bed was very comfortable and the linen was like new. It was very quiet and peaceful and we had a great sleep. The code access to the room was very difficult to use.
- Darcy (8/5): -
- George (9/5): Staff were very hospitable and accommodating - Very nice room and restaurant Decor and location perfect

- Emma (10/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): Beautiful room only option at great price in Strangford. - Looked exactly same as the photos, cosy and modern room with nice decor and very nice bathroom, and at a great price!! Able to stream Netflix on the tv was a bonus!! Was a little noise on one of the nights from downstairs but only a little and finished up before bedtime…
- Paula (10/5): -
- Bronagh (10/5): -
- Pamela (9/5): Beautiful room, exceptionally comfortable in the most idyllic spot. - Beautiful room, super comfortable beds and the perfect location. We had a lovely time the room is very spacious and plenty of room for me and the two teenagers. Even though it’s on the Main Street it was very quiet. The coffee machine would work and there were a few spots that a bit of more of a thorough clean

- Gallagher (10/5): -
- Liam (10/5): -
- Kathryn (9/5): -
- Wei (9/5): clean room - the room is very clean. the hotel is along the road so it is noisy when the cars are passing
- Alison Strain (7/5): Short Stay - Centrally located, easy walk to several restaurants.. restaurant staff in the Artisan were very helpful and pleasant, and breakfasts were delicious . Self checkin with 2 different 5 digit numbers meant you always need to have phone open to access these. Room pretty small but meticulously decorated and exceptionally clean, but unfortunate for us we were above the restaurant kitchen with a very loud extraction system outside our window, which went all night on the 1st night, leading to no sleep at all.. after mentioning in a phone call to staff on 2nd day, was told it had been left on accidentally and assured it would be off on night 2, which it was.. breakfast was offered complimentary on our 2nd morning, but didn't really make up for the lack of sleep which resulted in a day of tiredness, and when you suffer from fibromyalgia sleep is important.. perhaps a call from the proprietor of the Lough Rooms after messaging to say we had checked in, or after I made contact with what appeared to be the restaurant staff about the noise, would have been appreciated. But overall a lovely area to stay in.
- Deborah (8/5): -
- Frances (6/5): - Good location, modern, clean. Generator/fan outside bedroom window very noisy from 9am.Room very warm no air conditioning but did provide a fan!
- Lorna (10/5): -

- Loughran (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (10/5): Excellent accommodation and delicious restaurant downstairs - Modern, clean, excellent bathroom
- Ruaridh (8/5): Very good -
- Nicola (10/5): Lovely. ☺️ - Lovely room. Well appointed. Great bathroom. Didn’t realise it was a bnb. So no hotel. Bar. Restaurant etc. and everything around us was shut. So consider if anything is open before you book. We still had a nice time.
- Mike (10/5): Strangford - The rooms are lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful, I will definitely stay again. Not a thing.
- Barbara (9/5): Superb -
- Edward (8/5): Very good -

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We had prebooked restaurant and the food was exceptional!! Loved everything about our short stay and will definitely book again . Thank you No negatives
- Ruth (8/5): Very good -
- Donal (8/5): Comfortable rooms above the restaurant attached to the property - The property is in the village, just above the excellent restaurant. There is a pub across the road, and another down by the ferry terminal. Restaruant staff gave us our access code and showed us to our room. The rooms have been refurbished to a high spec. Very comfortable if somewhat small. No compliants.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Conway (10/5): Amazing - The privacy Very little
- Janet (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carolyn (10/5): Exceptional - Location is great and the room was very comfortable. Nothing.
- William (10/5): Super location, room excellent and great value for money. - Location, cleanliness and great value for money. Staying in this property it would be very difficult to find anything that would cause any problems as there were none.
- Lauren (9/5): Superb - Perfect location for travelling to Bishopscourt race track. About 15 minutes away. Really good restaurant below which did not disappoint one bit.
- Smmcd (10/5): Exceptional - Warm and colourful modern rooms with great views.
- Odette (1/5): Totally disappointing. Cold non boutique room. Advertising - not what we got. - Not at all what we paid for. Tiny cold dull room. No heating worked. Couldn’t take shower as no hot water. Freezing room. Window was opened before our arrival and no heating so we were freezing and could not sleep. No chocolates as promised. No instructions for the coffee maker. Cobwebs above TV. No heating worked in bedroom or shower room. 3 Dull dank grey coloured walls. Certainly not boutique decor as in photos. Not any bags of crisps - as in photos or bottled water for us as guests. The next day when leaving we could see other guest rooms had these in their accommodation. Very small shower room - not as advertised on the photos of the room we chose. Bedroom was not as on photos of the bedroom that we chose. Wasn’t even the same room as in the 4 photos of the room that we chose. Wi-Fi password did not work and we had requested this twice and on the 3rd message from Heidi - the third attempt and a new password given - this then worked but it was too late at night to start using it. Had to open a Netflix account -£4.99 - a monthly payment to use for our 1 night stay. Other accommodation that we’ve experienced - have guests set up for free Netflix access. I would like a complete refund. Cormac phoned at 9.02pm as we still could not get the radiators working. We tried the thermostat - turned the radiator knobs anticlockwise as Heidi had advised and as advised by Cormac turned the thermostat to the highest -30- still did not work. A cold night in a dull non boutique very small room with no sleep.
- Neville (10/5): Really enjoyable stay. Will definitely stay again. - The food was amazing. The room really cozy and clean. Everything was excellent.
- Ursula (9/5): Superb -
- Graham (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ryan (4/5): Any humans on this planet? - Good beds. Good shower. Good towels. Quiet locality Never saw a human. No welcome...no thanks...a code for main door...which didn't work. After a phone call we got in to a dark inhospitable hallway. On reaching our rooms. another code which didn't work. Another phone call and we got in. Nobody else in the building...really weird atmosphere...most unwelcoming....we had to use our flash lights on phone to read the code box....
- Elizabeth (8/5): Nice place, better if open. - Nice room in good location. However, note that the postcode given takes you to a place some miles away! It wasn’t open on the day we were there - the restaurant was shut even though it was a bank holiday Monday
- Sue (9/5): Lovely rooms! - Beautiful room in a perfect position to explore Strangford Lough. Very comfortable bed, tea and coffee in the room and lots of fluffy towels. Very tricky to park nearby but it was festival weekend.
- Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jonathan (5/5): Adequate - Breakfast was not included Price
- Alan (10/5): Quiet break away - The modern design of our room The food 😋 The Staff ,so friendly Nothing
- Terese (10/5): excellent - Lovely room, great location, small elevator, restaurants nearby, close to the harbor Had to call the listed number to figure out how to get in. There is no staff it is like a small apartment building with multiple rooms but the person I spoke with was very helpful and I figured it out
- Julie (10/5): Had a great weekend people very friendly - Very modern and clean very comfortable
