We have been working in tourism for 20 years and we love meeting new Guests and to hear their stories etc! I own a Food Tour Company - and I am passionate about the amazing food and drink that we have in County Down which is considered the Garden of Northern Ireland due to its micro climate. We have more award winning Producers in this part of Northern Ireland than anywhere else. Joe is a Landscape Gardener - hence the beautiful natural stone floor and private patio Courtyard! Through my Food Tour Business NI food tours, I run Traditional Irish Bread making classes on a frequent basis. This experience is immersive and authentic with Guests making their own traditional Breads. Upcoming dates are posted on my website Private sessions are offered for groups of 5 or more. I have two wonderful boys, who love the outdoors and love caring for our dogs, hens, bees, cat etc. I love to go walking in this very peaceful area of outstanding natural beauty. The quiet country roads are perfect for some peace and quiet. You'll not meet another car on the roads! The vista of the Lough, Drumlins and the Countryside is ever changing through the seasons and we love it.
