My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Castle Ward last weekend. As we have been before we did not tour the actual property on this occasion although I would recommend it highly. The two different architectural styles (classical & gothic) are intriguing as is the contrasting decor inside and the tale of how it all came to be-... More

My son and daughter in law were married here. It is the most beautiful place and I would say as a wedding venue absolutely brilliant. The gardens are gorgeous.

First visit and very impressed with scenery and staff but found signposts unclear, particularly where walks diverged. Also had young children and walked about 1km on a trail to then find a "enter field at own risk as bulls" sign and a "diversion" through a locked door which couldn't be taken (behind which was the 'Temple' I had diverted to...

This was our first visit to Castle Ward but hopefully not the last. It was Good Friday but surprisingly and disappointingly Castle Ward House was closed. Despite this, my wife and I enjoyed our walk along the 3Km circular Castle Trail which starts at the Barn and Farmyard and takes you around the edge of Strangford Lough past the Boat... More

Everyone working there was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. At the risk of bringing out our nerdy side, we also liked seeing where the Winterfell Courtyard scenes from Game of... More

Castleward is an absolutely fantastic place to spend time with younger children. The playparks (there are 2) are perfect to keep them entertained - while there is also an indoor play area in one of the old stone barns. The house itself is very nice, and the quirky stying makes the tour very worthwhile.

We enjoyed 4 nights in our caravan at this excellent site. We were a little apprehensive about visiting due to some very poor reviews on a number of sites. However, I believe you should try things yourself and we were delighted with what we found. The gravel pitches are arranged in a large oval surrounding a central grass area, used... More

we have camped at castle ward for 5 years now and we loved it until june 2012 when we arrived to camp for 4 days it had been raining for an hour and the site was under water for what was left to pitch our tent. so we had no choice to return home and maybe phone the next day... More
