We are only 20 minutes from Belfast and but once here, Ballygraffan is like a sanctuary where you can get back in touch with nature and de-stress. There is plenty to do whether it be visiting the local tourist attractions around the Strangford Peninsula, such as the National Trust properties at Mount Stewart and Castleward, availing of the excellent eating establishments or simply relaxing in the unique ambiance of the setting. This converted stable, of which there are only two, is beautifully presented and remarkably spacious. We hope that you will wake up feeling totally refreshed. They really were working stables until recently and are named after the horse whose stable it used to be. In this case - Maurice! You can open the patio doors, and look out over the beautiful view from your bed. The balcony gets sun in the morning and evening so it's the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast or a 'sun-downer' in the evening. You can do as little or as much as you want on your stay and you will always receive a warm welcome. A welcome pack is provided made of many homemade treats for you to savour and enjoy. You may find that you never want to leave. Please note that this listing is for one of the stables and is suitable for a couple or single person. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111310000/111305200/111305188/123dbe37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Cabin Belfast Dundonald - Outdoor space - Parking available - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=111305188&PinnedHotelID=111305188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121300000/121293700/121293673/dd0dd009.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Superior 1-Bedroom Apartment Botanic Belfast City Centre - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=121293673&PinnedHotelID=121293673&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116490000/116486200/116486133/12435269.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Merok Old Granary luxury accommodation for 2 persons in single unit.

The original lighthouse was painted white. In 1902 three black bands were added. Its current markings of black with two yellow bands have been in place since 1954. The color of the light was changed from white to red on 1st July 1860. The tower was originally only 14m tall. It was extended to its current dizzying height of 40m in the 1880's and is now the tallest onshore lighthouse on the Irish coast. The lighthouse was automated in 1981. St John’s Point is the perfect place for a quick visit or a proper refreshing time out. It is easily accessible by car. #Ireland #travel #adventure #hiking #lighthouse ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182715/6a140fdf-11db-40d3-9a26-892d5b3bd9a9.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Strangford and Lecale 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - ![Queen\'s University of Belfast](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6083501/d8dff6f7-86af-4e17-9656-d90bdf4b7bf5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Queen's University of Belfast 19 min drive \- 13.6 miles - ![Black and White Night Time Photo on Belfast Waterfront, Northern Ireland](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6083489/5897ee0d-b448-4fb8-9e7b-52b0987aed94.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) SSE Arena 22 min drive \- 14.3 miles - ![Belfast City Hall showing a castle, heritage elements and heritage architecture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6083439/87e329ce-ea3c-4823-8220-ff88300fe17a.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Belfast City Hall 23 min drive \- 14.9 miles - ![Titanic Belfast showing signage and modern architecture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6169550/36834770-e253-4281-bdf6-288f3c608a0b.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Titanic Belfast 24 min drive \- 14.7 miles ### Getting around - Holywood Train Station 16 min drive - Belfast (BHD-George Best Belfast City) 30 min drive ### Restaurants - Starbucks 9 min drive - Sugarcane Coffee Co 4 min drive - Trait Coffee 4 min drive - Tim Hortons 9 min drive - The Auld House 9 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is The Stables At Ballygraffan - Maurice's Stable pet-friendly? ### How much does it cost to stay at The Stables At Ballygraffan - Maurice's Stable? ### What time is check-in at The Stables At Ballygraffan - Maurice's Stable? ### What time is check-out at The Stables At Ballygraffan - Maurice's Stable? ### Where is The Stables At Ballygraffan - Maurice's Stable located? ## Have a question?

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna G. 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great time at the stable! The property was beautiful, clean and close to Belfast. Robena was an amazing and thoughtful hostess. She also communicated well throughout the process-from initial booking, to a week before and then about the check in process. She made us homemade goodies and left other treats for us, something we appreciated as we had not had dinner yet when we checked in! We would totally recommend this property as well as Robena being an amazing hostess!! Would definitely stay again if we were in the area again. ##### Donna G.
