    Sue was a really nice host. The accommodation was lovely and suited us as was very close to venue we were attending the next day. Sue takes pride in her place and it shows based on how she has the place prepared for guests, from the cleanliness to the food and snacks left for us. Will be staying again no problem

    A beautiful room, with its own en-suite and kitchen. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were made very welcome by the host, Sue, from the moment we arrived. There was a lovely selection of food left for breakfast. The room is nicely decorated, and the bed was so comfortable with ample pillows. The location is within walking distance to the town and local cafes and restaurants.

    Sue was really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the locality. The Lantern was superbly located within a 10 minute walk to the sea front and good public transport connections. The accommodation is in a small annexe next to Sue's property, which is a bedroom,bathroom and kitchen. Sue supplied all the continental breakfast that you need and you help yourself to it in your kitchen. Donaghadee is a beautiful little seaside town with some cracking pubs and places to eat.

    There was absolutely nothing to dislike 😊

    Sue was an excellent host,friendly and helpful . Property very clean and well stocked with breakfast food, tea/coffee, juice etc. Bed was very comfortable. Room cosy and warm. Ensuite was well stocked with towels. I highly recommend this B and B . Donaghadee Harbour and Bangor Harbour Close by. Belfast is only a few miles away if you want citylife or shopping. At Pier 36 restaurant the food and atmosphere was fantastic. I will definitely be booking The lantern again .

    Freedom with our own access so not troubling the host as we went in and out. The variety of food Sue left for breakfast and snacks was really good including lots of fruit etc. Even freshly made muffins . The shower was really good too. There is lovely seating in the garden to enjoy as well.

    Nothing could have improved our stay. Except maybe, staying longer at Sue's😃

    Outstanding !!! Location was perfect for visiting family. Parking outside property was a bonus. The breakfast was phenomenal. Really. There was so much choice. Didn't have to buy anything extra. There was enough goodies to use for a picnic with our granddaughter. The private annexes was excellent in every way. Bed was comfy, bathroom was very clean and the shower was great. The little kitchenette had everything we needed and more. A tv in the bedroom and free WiFi. Sue is a great lady. A perfect host. She made us very welcome and was always available if required.
