What a surprise this lovely hotel was! Within 15 minutes of Belfast International Airport. Set back from the main road, as soon as my wife and I walked in we were greeted by Kathryn (the Australian lady) and another lady who had just recently started her new job. They were both lovely, made checking in easy and immediately made us feel at home. They gave us all the information we needed. Both are a credit to the hotel. The room that we had on the ground floor was spacious and clean and the bed itself was huge and really comfortable. We loved it. And because the hotel is set back there was minimal noise during the night. I slept soundly! Breakfast in the morning (buffet style) was fantastic. So much to choose from. We will definitely return.
The hotel was good, and the breakfast was nice. The first two days we had breakfast made by request, meaning the food was very fresh. On one day we had a buffet breakfast and some items were not great. Staff were all lovely and really helpful. Lots of parking and good location at the Junction. There was no kitchen open at all during our stay, which was quite inconvenient.
We have visited this hotel on several occasions. We live about 30 minutes away and choose to come here for an overnight relaxing stay because it is stunning in every way. Staff is so very friendly and professional without being overly attentive and intrusive. Room facilities - all you would expect from a high class hotel. Lor coffee machine and tea / biscuits provided. Bathroom well stocked with products and lovely soft fluffy, white, towels with bathrobes and slippers provided. Large and very comfortable Kingsize bed with deep soft pillows. Temperature was perfect. We stayed in room 241 which had wonderful views of the garden and peacocks. Food - breakfast was usual cold and hot selection with the makings of a perfect Ulster fry - bacon and sausage, egg (scrambled, fried), beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, soda and potato farls fried. Main restaurant food is also great. Grounds are so beautiful and well kept with all kinds of flora and fauna The peacocks are a treat and oftentimes perch along the upstairs railings. The Sixmike river runs along the bottom of the grounds of the hotel and a new rose garden has been added since our last visit. A new private spa area is being created which looks like it is going to be fabulous. Hot tubs outside rooms with steam room and sauna etc. More often than not I would post recommendations to management on ways to improve things but I cannot find anything that needs fixed.
First time staying, will definitely be back ! We stayed last weekend for our wedding anniversary. Check in isn’t until 4pm but we were well aware of this in our booking. Great outside area to watch the golfers and have a few drinks. Had a visit to the Halcyon Spa and it was amazing ! Dinner was superb in the restaurant, sea bass and chowder were perfect. Breakfast was also excellent, although all self service including tea & coffee. The hotel was very busy with a couple of bus loads of tourists. Definitely be back again.
It’s the best B/B I’ve stayed in. The room was beautiful and the breakfast was outstanding. Plenty of choice from continental to a full breakfast.Charles and his wife were so friendly and nothing was to much trouble.It was a good start to my trip. Was left to the airport . I would stay here again 100%
