Downpatrick Gate Lodge - sleeps 2
Downpatrick Gate Lodge in Downpatrick, County Down sleeps 2 people. Downpatrick Gate Lodge is a secluded period cottage, built in the late 1700s. It sits on the avenue at what was once the entrance to the Castle Ward estate, beyond gothic, wrought-iron gates. You’ll see the Ward arms on its western gable. It’s surrounded by woodland and grazing land, with bay windows to take in the rolling views.
You’ll be welcomed by a tiny, decorative porch that leads into spacious, luxurious interiors. There’s a woodburning stove in the sitting room and a handsome blue kitchen for cooking and dining. Upstairs, the bed has a view of the stars, and there’s a small dressing room as well as a roll-top bath for a relaxing soak.
The lodge is also practical, with a place to store coats and muddy boots by the back door. It’s a great spot for a walk, in an area home to the Irish hare, pine marten and red squirrel. There are 18 km of trails on the estate, with woodland, meadows and loughside views. Look out for seals and terns as you explore to the water’s edge.
Castle Ward is a unique 18th-century mansion famed for its mixture of architectural styles, with a formal garden restored to a design based on the 1864 painting by Mary Ward. You’ll have free entry during your stay and can explore the grounds once other visitors have gone home for the day. Castle Ward is also well known as a filming location for Game of Thrones when the historic farmyard was transformed into ‘Winterfell’.
