A hidden gem in Co. Down - A beautiful, homely experience with Tracey in her gorgeous home. Tracey made us feel very welcome and she has a wealth of knowledge with lots of humour. We had a great time making irish bannock, guinness wheaten bread and a demo of soda foccacia. I would deifnitely book this again - we left full to the brim of bread, crumble and tasty treats - took loads home as well! A fantastic experience in Co. Down with people travelling far and wide to experience it. I will be back again with my english cousins as i know they will just love it. Perfect for every age and every baking ability

Fine tune your bread-baking skills - Although this was supposed to be a larger group class, there were some cancellations. Tracey kindly decided to hold the class anyway, even if there were only two of us. Her home was warm and lovely and it was great fun to plunge our hands into the dough for soda bread, wheaten bread and potato farl. Highly recommend this experience.

Bread making and friend making - I would have rated a 10 if able. Tracey's home was warm and inviting, as was she. Her class was excellent, she greeted us warmly, welcomed us with tea and a fruit bread and Irish butter. We lucked into a private class, as the others canceled, and she wanted to honor our booking. A fun, delicious 2 1/2 hours spent in the Strangford Loch area. We learned, we laughed, we cooked and we tasted. Highly recommend to all!

Wonderful experience making wheaten bread - Wonderful experience making wheaten bread ourselves with instruction and watching Tracey make a soda bannock and homemade butter and Eileen demonstrating how to make Blackcurrant and plum jam. Very friendly and great fun and company in the group of 10. Lots of tea and coffee and apple crumble to finish. Got to take our wheaten bread and jams home with. Definitely recommend this great and very beneficial experience

Harvest jam class will not only warm your taste buds but all your senses including your heart 💓 - This is my second class with Mrs. Tracy.. I was able to attend her harvest jam making class. We also made a coarse wheat bread that day. It's such a beautiful location and Mrs. Tracy is such a lovely host. I hope to be able to do it again next time I'm in Belfast .

This is a don’t miss experience! - We had a fantastic time with Tracey. She prepared, not only the wonderful soda bread making experience but traditional tea to go with it and we had a yummy lunch as well. Her home, kitchen yard and farm are beautiful. I will definitely be going back and taking more friends.
