The Cuan

One dog-friendly room on Strangford's village square, by prior arrangement

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A small family-run inn with a well-regarded restaurant on the square in Strangford, a few steps from the ferry slip on Strangford Lough. One of its rooms takes a dog, and only if you arrange it with the inn before you book. It suits a single dog and an owner who wants Castle Ward and the lough shore on the doorstep.

Why it's in the collection

Castle Ward is about 2.5km west of the village, with lead walks across the estate and an off-lead dog exercise field near the main car park. In the village itself, the Squeeze Gut path climbs behind the square for a short loop with views over the lough narrows.

Best suited for

Only one room takes a dog, and it has to be arranged with the inn in advance.
