Home description

The bungalow sits on 2 acres and has a large off road yard for parking. It has been designed with the disabled in mind and there are no steps if access is by the front door, (There is a sloping path up to the front door). The guest lounge has 3 large picture windows which take in the terrific views. It is a joy to sit in this room in the evening and watch the sun setting and lights of Lisburn, Dunmurray and Belfast coming on.

The County Down region

Drumbo is made up of two Irish words. Drum meaning hill and bo meaning cow. A literal translation is hill of the cow and it is still this way to-day. There is an ancient round tower dating from viking times in the church yard in Drumbo.

Drumbo is a very small village 1.25 mile away, and there is not even a shop. The last shop and post office closed several years ago and now nearest shop is almost 5 mile away. There is a bus service into Belfast and Lisburn from Drumbo, but this is infrequent. A car is essential. However if going into Belfast city centre which is 8.5 mile away, it is recommended taking the bus in the morning from Drumbo as traffic congestion in Belfast is quite bad and car parking is expensive.


Drumbo area

The round tower is the only real attraction in Drumbo, but the beautiful countryside makes up for a lack of town amenties. Lisburn which is 5 miles away has a multi cinema, swimming pool and numerous eating establishments on a large site on edge of town. Both Lisburn and Belfast are excellant shopping towns. Places recommended within 1 hours drive are Belfast Zoo, Ulster Folk and Transport museum, drive by ferry from Strangford to Portaferry and return by road on other side of Pennisula .

Giant's Causeway and Antrim coast is about 2 hours drive and is an excellant day out especially if coasal route is taken.


How to get there

Drumbo is a very small village between Belfast and Lisburn cities. It is about 12 mile from the George Best City airport and 27 mile from Belfast International airport. Easiest directions are from M1 motorway. Exit at number 6 and follow sign for 'Saintfield'. After about 2.5 mile road for Saintfield turns 90 degrees left and there is a slip lane you enter when turning left here. Take this 90 degree left, and then take next road on left signposted 'Drumbo 2' at brow of a hill. This is Tullyard Road and number 60 is on right hand side just over 1 mile directly after the John Deere place (about 20 John Deere tractors are in the yard).

Further details outdoors:
At the front of the bungalow there is a large garden laid out in lawns. At the back is a rough field ideal for those who have dogs. There is a large double garage with sink and electricity and pets can be kept here. It is a beautiful area for walking.
