Great place in a beautiful setting. Need Google maps to get you there. Some great views of Strangford Loch and walks as well. There is a house there and tours are included in your ticket price. Guides very knowledgeable and the house itself has two distinct eras inside. Good car parking and a cafe and National Trust shop. If you are not a member it is about £12 per adult. Well worth a visit.

Great spot to stretch the legs, get some fresh air and exercise as well as Take in some history and have a laugh. Play area for the kids, the den building was fun. I would assume there are days with events or activities on but its a grand day out to burn off some energy.Enjoy.

Great spot for a family day out. Green landscapes, a peaceful trail and a scenic lake view. The main castle is well maintained. Approachable by public transport from Belfast.

Brilliant place for the kids. My two (8 and 5) had an absolute ball. There was so much for them to do, lots of different activities that they really enjoyed from the play barn to the straw maze with games and archery, to the park area, and the craft activites. They loved seeing inside the house too. Great facilities, lovely coffee. Absolutely worthwhile family trip

The grounds are awesome and it's a very cool site. Unfortunately the Winterfell in the TV show was heavily CGI and the actual grounds look nothing like it apart from the tower.However it was still a beautiful location and I'm happy to have stopped off here.

Lovely quite small stately home and beautiful garden and trails close to the edge of Strangford Lough.

Staff were phenomenal and the grounds were beautiful! Came here as a day trip from Belfast and it’s a highlight of my trip. The staff were absolutely divine and very knowledgeable about the history of the castle. So friendly and generous with their time. Well worth a visit

This was the EHOD weekend so entry was free but normally there is a charge. I have to say that it is a very impressive place and very interesting. The interior of the house is not to be missed and I found the staff very informative and friendly, ready to answer questions. The grounds are lovely and the sunken garden is a must. The corn mill was in operation -all water powered.I gave 4 stars for the following reason. See photo of information board and indeed the EHOD brochure. There was supposed to be live music, carriage rides and living history characters but there was only the laundry ladies who were very good but I was disappointed, having travelled a considerable distance, not to see the rest of the promised entertainment!
