Meet My Guest: Tracey Jeffery

Tracey welcomes you into her home kitchen – admittedly not the tidiest or fanciest – but one that is lived in and loved. Her thatch cottage is located on the shores of Strangford Lough, just 30 minutes from Belfast, in County Down.

Highlights of County Down

An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Strangford Lough is the largest inlet of water in the British Isles. As a protected body of water there is a large amount of wildlife. It has over 300 tiny islands and is a perfect place for kayaking and an island picnic.

County Down is known for its ‘drumlins', small, low, rounded hills that resemble a basket of eggs.

The Mourne Mountains in the south of the county are mystical, magical, and beautiful.

County Down is an unspoilt area, and definitely the ‘road less traveled'.
