An “impressive” glamping property in Co Down has been awarded five stars by Tourism Northern Ireland’s Quality Grading Scheme.
Ballyburren Lodges, which are based within the 18-acre Ballyburren Outdoor Escapes site, close to Ballynahinch, were found to offer guests a “seamless” experience from arrival.
A Tourism NI assessment found the lodges to be “immediately impressive, with well-proportioned layouts, high-quality finishes, and design features that include an iconic spiral staircase and large triangular windows offering unspoiled forest and lake views”.
It also found that the accommodation “presents an exceptional guest experience with meticulous attention to quality across all aspects of the property – from the grounds and exterior features to interior finishes, furnishings, and food offerings.
It added: “The professional, welcoming, and personalised service significantly enhances the stay.”
Aine Kearney, Director of Events at Tourism NI, said: “Tourism NI is delighted to award a five-star accommodation grading to Ballyburren Lodges – the highest accolade possible.
“This achievement reflects the significant investment that has been made in providing a high quality and fantastic broad range of facilities and services to guests visiting Ballyburren.
“The Tourism NI assessment found this accommodation offering to be impressive and exceptional and it is without doubt a well-deserved award and testament to the team. We wish them good luck in the future.”
Damien Butler said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive this five-star recognition from Tourism NI. Achieving this grading is a fantastic endorsement of the quality, comfort and guest experience we strive to deliver.
“Being part of the Tourism NI grading scheme gives visitors added confidence when choosing accommodation and helps showcase the high standards Northern Ireland tourism businesses are achieving.
“For us, it reinforces our commitment to offering a unique luxury escape where guests can reconnect with nature while enjoying exceptional accommodation and hospitality.”
The Tourism NI Quality Grading Scheme is a mark of distinction and gives visitors a clear idea of the standards of accommodation, service and cleanliness that they can expect during their stay.
The scheme is open to hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, self-catering, hostels and guest accommodation with businesses capable of achieving a grade of up to five stars.
