Tara Lodge 4 stars

Queens Quarter, Belfast

Located in the bohemian Queen’s Quarter of Belfast, a mere 10-minute walk from the city centre, Tara Lodge offers stylish, modern bedrooms with warm and genuine hospitality.

On offer is free secure on-site car parking (limited spaces on a first-come, first-served basis) and the fabulous location means you will be just a few minutes’ walk from many restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. Staff were very welcoming & friendly. We mentioned we were celebrating a birthday on arrival & on return from our night there was a birthday card with chocolates left in our room. Homely & cosy and the food was delicious. Will definately be back.

The Vandees

Aghalee

A traditional cooked Ulster breakfast, or alternatively a Continental breakfast, is included in the room rate. Breakfast includes locally sourced produce and sausages and black pudding from an award-winning butcher. Local pubs and restaurants are less than a 10-minute drive away. Noreen and Jean-Paul are exceptionally lovely people. We were so happy to have met them! We shared a few hours together socializing after visits to the area. They will both ensure that your every need is well looked after and that you are completely happy with your stay. Noreen is a wonderful cook and every breakfast was absolutely delicious (by far the best we have EVER had at any B&B, rivals the best restaurants!). This country home is beautifully appointed. Lots of natural light and open spaces. The bedrooms are spacious and bright and have the best king size beds - better than any hotel or B&B. Very high quality linens and duvets. The breakfast room is also open and airy and feature's Noreen's beautiful paintings. Bathrooms are spotless with soft and comfy towels and washcloths. The surrounding area is so beautiful. Green everywhere. We always had suggestions on where to go for sightseeing, dinner, tours, etc. Noreen and J-P will help you with all of your questions as they are very experienced travellers themselves. I have travelled extensively for work for the last 30 years of my life. I have stayed in hotels and accommodations world wide. This place has a very special place in my heart. These wonderful people have made their home a place of warmth, comfort, hospitality, conversation, wonderful meals and laughter. We were tearing up when we had to leave and say our good-byes... Yes, this place will do that to you. Just stay here. You will always remember your time with Noreen and J-P at The Vandees.

Cul-Erg House & Kitchen 4 stars

Portstewart

This family-run guest house is situated in Portstewart, 2 minutes walk from the seafront and promenade. Guests can enjoy picturesque coastal walks, restaurants and bars in the nearby town centre.

Cul-Erg House & Kitchen has a charming Reception/lounge, and a modern Dining room. We really enjoyed our stay. JJ was extremely friendly and helpful and recommended a couple of really nice restaurants - with Amici the star of the show. Cul-Erg is very well situated in beautiful Portstewart, on the beautiful Antrim Coast. This has to be one of the most stunning coastlines in the world. Portstewart is close to so many scenic and historical sites, including the Giants Causeway, a World Heritage site, Dunluce Castle, Ballintoy, Carrick a Rede and its famous rope bridge, the Dark Hedges and delightful local towns and villages such as Ballycastle and Glenarm (to mention just a couple). The scenery along the coast is absolutely stunning, so a mecca for photographers.
