Strangford getaway
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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
