My husband was raised in Strangford and I moved to the village when we were married. We moved to our current home a few years ago which overlooks Strangford Lough just outside the village. Since moving the combination of country life beside the shore has been great. We kayak, cycle, walk on the beach and recently decided we would share this with our guests, hence Seal Cabin. We hope our guests will love this location as much as we do and will return again. It has changed our lives, working in the city knowing we come home to this just makes it all worth while.
