Central heating and on demand hot water for your&nbsp;shower,&nbsp;perhaps after one of the many outdoor activities available in&nbsp;Strangford Lough. &nbsp;The Heated towel rail in the bathroom and wall heater in main area will keep you cosy in the colder winter months. We have a tree fort at the bottom of the garden that my kids would love to share as long as parents are responsible for their own children. I will be on hand for any help or recommendations in the local area. There is also plenty of info in the manual in the shepherd hut. We also offer the option of adding a bell tent sleeping up to four from mid May with king mattress and two very comfortable pullout singles&nbsp;-to add this to your accommodation proceed to booking and add either bell tent sleeping two or four plus the additional cleaning charge.

The bell tent will not be rented separately from the hut. Dogs are allowed but they must be kept on a leash at all times and must never be left unattended at the property - we have our own dog who is not tethered but is v friendly. Dogs must not be allowed on the beds and an additional fee of £30&nbsp;will be charged for dogs- only one pet maximum. For those booking the bell tent there must be a minimum of two adults aged 25 or over. No Hens or Stag parties. Bell tent is only available for bookings of two nights or more

Ballydorn Stay Shepherds Hut

Amazing place great for a small family of 4 with a dog. Must be one of the most beautiful views in Northern Ireland. Will 100% be back.

Most Beautiful view in N.Ireland

Such a perfect little oasis. Steph is a marvellous hostess and has thought of every little detail to make a stay here perfect. As a couple we found the setting really romantic. The bed was so comfy and toasty and we loved lying relaxing listening to the wind and rain. It's superbly insulated and the decor is so tasteful. We purchased add ons of the breakfast pack and Rachel Bakes cupcakes. Utterly delicious. Bonus that our dog was able to come too 😊 We had dinner on the Saturday night in Daft Eddie's which is a short walk from the property. It was fabulous too. (Just make sure you pre book a reservation as it can get busy)There is nothing we disliked and in fact we will definitely return!

Perfect little oasis

Steph has created a luxurious mini home with stylish details an incredible kitchen and kitted out with everything you could possibly want. With the addition of the bell tent, you could easily holiday for a week with 2 families. View and area is second to none! We are already looking to book again for next summer.
