How to get there

Address: Tracey’s Farmhouse Kitchen, 52A Ballymorran Rd. Killinchy. BT23 6UD, Northern Ireland.

Directions from Belfast by car:

  • Head in the direction of the Newtownards road. When you get to Stormont Buildings on the Newtownards Road take the signs for Comber and then for Killinchy.
  • Drive for 5 miles on a straight road. You will arrive at Balloo House – a large pub / restaurant. Turn left at Balloo House onto Beechvale Road.
  • Go straight ahead in the direction of Whiterock for about a mile until you see a brown tourist sign saying “Ballymorran Cottages” on your right at the brow of the hill.
  • Turn right as if you’re going to Ballymorran Cottages. Follow the road all the way to the bottom, to the water’s edge and all the way round the Bay until you come to a bend.
  • Follow the bend and you will turn away from the water. You will see a long white washed wall on your left and the name “Horseshoe Cottage” on the wall. This is Tracey’s home – keep driving and you will see a thatched barn – turn left immediately when you see the “Tracey’s Farmhouse Kitchen” sign and you have arrived.
  • The SatNav can take you in the wrong direction so we strongly advise that you follow the above directions. Should you get lost, please contact our customer services team.
