  Tudor Lodge is a treat & an experience to stay at.

  This lovely house is also very engaging if you love a good story & like reading. Owned by the Kyle family this property belonged to the late John Wilson Kyle, better known as Jack Kyle. Jack was one of Ireland's greatest Rugby players of all time having been entered into the Rugby hall of fame for his achievements in the sport. He also graduated from Queen's university in Belfast in the medical field & spent 34 years as a surgeon in Africa & was one of the first doctor's to help people with the Hiv virus. When this incredible gentleman returned to Ireland he brought back with him all his books & art work from Africa, which are all still in Tudor Lodge for you to indulge yourself. The house itself is a lovely big family home with lots of seating areas, a large kitchen , living area, dining room & conservatory. At one point we had 20 people in the house, & as people came & went it was a fantastic atmosphere for everyone to catch up, even the kids had lots of room to run around & the back garden is very nice too, with great views but especially at night if the sky's are clear, as there is no light pollution, so the sky lights up like a Christmas tree, you can even see the outline of the milky way. For sleeping the two downstairs bedrooms & bathroom are very handy, if you have people with you of an older age or with mobility difficulties, this was very handy for us as we had 70+ years old family members coming to stay. At one point we had 6 cars on the drive too, so having all the room at the front of the house is ideal for people coming & going. The upstairs bedrooms are both nice and big , comfortable & are both ensuite with large wardrobes for all your clothes etc. I highly recommend this family home, it's location, views, accommodation & history, make it an absolute pleasure. A special mention for Caleb too, jack's son, the landlord, he is a lovely man and very helpful and accommodating, thank you Caleb for everything & bless you , Tommy.

  We feel the listing doesn't do justice to the actual property as it is far beyond what we expected.

  The overall atmosphere provided us with a place to relax at the end of each day of our trip, which is a tremendous mental boost for the next day. The hot tub and surroundings calm one's body and mind, tlly was the best home away from home we could ask for. The property itself is far larger than the photos would have you assume, with well-separated areas that are all connecher so families have plenty of space to themselves under one roof. We never found ourselves feeling anything was lacking inside the home,lly is fully fitted with all the appliances and amenities, even those we didn't expect to find. The immediate area may be farmland, but the local town is less than 10 minutes drive, with just over 35 minutes to reach either Belfast City or the Coastal Area so it is far out enough to enjoy some tranquillity but still close enough to go take in some of the gorgeous sights of Northern Ireland. The owner is one of the friendliest gentlemen you could meet and only added to our enjoyment of the home. The next time we are visiting Northern Ireland again, we would be sure to check on the availability of this home again since the only thing we regretted about this trip was not staying for longer. All the best to the owner for the wonderful experience and memories!

  This was a last-minute booking, and we couldn't have been more pleased!

  The location and views were absolutely stunning. The cottage is beautifully laid out and finished to a high standard, with a thoughtful touch that makes it incredibly child-friendly. A special shoutout to the owners for providing Lego, which was a hit with our youngest (who usually isn’t keen on holidays) right through to the teens! The kitchen was the heart of our stay – a great space for family breakfasts and dinners that made the holiday truly memorable. There are plenty of places within walking distance to explore, including a nearby playpark that you can see from the garden or the house, which was a bonus for us with kids. The house was warm, comfortable, and perfect for a family or friends' getaway. If you're up for a short drive, the National Trust properties Mount Stewart and Castle Ward are both well worth a visit. We particularly enjoyed the option of taking a short ferry ride across from Portaferry to Castle Ward, adding a little adventure to the day. There are also plenty of shops, parks, and sandy beaches close by, as well as great dining options within walking distance. And don’t miss a quick tour of The Moet! Overall, an excellent stay in every way.

  Wow, what a fantastic cottage!

  The hall as you enter is stunning. My 6 year old son said it looks like 1st class in the Titanic. The cottage is very spacious and feels bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. The kitchen is huge and very well equipt with everything you'll need for cooking. Having two bathrooms was very handy especially since two of the bedroom's are downstairs. All of the beds were comfy except the double upstairs which is quite hard. My children absolutely loved playing in the garden and we even had an Easter egg hunt out there. One bonus which we haven't had in other places we've stayed is the record player, we spent lots of time looking through the records and listening to some old favourites. The selection of games dvds and jigsaws was great and the children really enjoyed them The location of the cottage is fantastic. We visited Titanic, Mount Stewart, Castle ward the transport museum and Newtownards for shopping and coffee. I would definitely recommend this cottage tp friends and family, Many thanks

  Our holiday was originally booked for September 2023 but due to unforseen circumstances we had to push the holiday back to June 2024.

  I will say Sykes weren't very helpful but the owner was fantastic in helping with the rebooking for the new dates and very understanding. The house is beautiful, the entrance hall alone was amazing. The kitchen is lovely and big and the perfect communal area, even when preparing meals the rest of the family could sit around the table and chat and no one was getting in the way. Having the two sitting rooms was perfect because if anyone wanted to have some quiet time they could, my partner enjoyed listening to a couple records in there. The view is stunning and I loved just sitting by the window with a cuppa. There is a tesco less than 10 minutes away which was perfect as we done a large shop but still had to pop in most days for bits and bobs. We met the owners on the last day and they were very friendly. We will definitely be back again in a couple of years (would be sooner if we hadn't already booked somewhere for 2025).
