About Portaferry
Portaferry has everything you'd expect from a coastal village. There's a supermarket, butchers, pubs, and restaurants all close by, plus a marina and golf course if you're after something more. Crime rates are well below the UK and Northern Ireland averages, so it's a safe place to be. Your money goes further here too — living costs are noticeably lower than the UK average thanks to Northern Ireland's rates system and cheaper utilities. For families, there are several primary schools to choose from, including an integrated option, and one secondary school. The ferry across Strangford Lough is a real draw, cutting travel times and giving the place real character. You'll still need a car for day-to-day life though, as bus services are limited.
