1What's this

Stay in the grounds where hit TV series Game of Thrones was set, in this well-equipped bunkhouse. All around you’ll find hints of the TV series, from the replica of the Winterfell Archery Range to the castle-like buildings. It also sits within 820 acres of woodland, close to the waters of the Strangford Lough and miles of walking trails, so there’s lots of exploring to be done. With its quiet, countryside location, it's a great base for active families and groups of friends. 

It can accommodate up to 14 people and additional tent pitches can be booked at the nearby Castle Ward Caravan Park. Whether you’re looking to go behind the scenes, taking up voluntary work or just want to see this part of Northern Ireland, Castle Ward Bunkhouse is the ideal base to start from. The Bunk House is quality rated and certified by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.
