We recently returned from our third visit to Clandeboye Lodge in the last twelve months. As with the previous times it was immensely enjoyable and relaxing. No other hotel we have stayed in has the same atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. All the staff - from Sarah, Claire and Maggie in reception to Ryan, Shana and others in the restaurant and bar - are exceptional. All needs and requests are catered for with genuine enthusiasm and concern for your well-being. The open plan lounge, restaurant and bar areas provide numerous corners for relaxing during the day and before and after meals. We have never seen this achieved to such good effect anywhere else. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated and very quiet. The latter being something the Clandeboye pays great attention to. The food is also exceptional. We will write a separate review on this. Our love of Clandeboye is also shared by our extended family. So much so that we have a WhatsApp group called ‘We love the Clandeboye’ ! The Clandeboye’s byline is ‘A place apart’. This it most surely is! We look forward to our next visit!

Driving up to the beautiful Culloden Estate, it was dark and raining. As we stopped our car at the front door, two of the wonderful staff ( Neemah and James) instantly ran out to help with the bags. After Tripping in to check in to the friendly front desk clerk and lamenting about my curly hair in the Irish weather, our bags were quickly taken to our room. The room was beautiful but before we could unpack, my husband noticed he couldn’t open the safe. One quick call to front desk and a minute later, the gentleman who brought our bags was back to fix the safe. Fixed in a few seconds, we hurried down to the amazing bar to calm our nerves from the rainy “drive on the left” trip to Belfast from Dublin. Who do we see greeting guests? Again, Neemah and James. I asked if they had twins? The expresso martini at the bar area was the best I’ve ever had and bar staff so kind and attentive. My husband had asked Neemah about the building and he appeared again to ask if we’d like to tour certain parts. Would we??? This estate is amazing so you can imagine our surprise and delight at being told we were being upgraded to a suite! Everything was absolutely perfect, staff, food, the suite, the view. We cannot give it enough stars. Culloden and its staff, especially Neemah, treated us like family. Family that they love.

My son and his fiancé got Married last Thursday at Rayanne House and from start to finish the day was just perfect. Bernie and every member of staff were outstanding. The ceremony was outside and the space was beautifully decorated. The food and wine and cocktails just perfect and the bedrooms all different and so comfortable. Breakfast next morning once again was so good with loads of choice I would highly recommend.

Had a cheap and cheerful wee night away to celebrate our belated anniversary! Was £49.50 pp - an absolute steal for a perfectly fine wee room and very decent and filling breakfast! We chose to also dine that evening in Le Winters - my Husband had the lamb,I'd the duck,we both had lemon cheesecake too & all of this was to die for! So rich and tasty! Heading to my friends in Ards to stay for a week on Tue and will definitely be calling in for grub- I seen that kids eat free if an adult eats too!! Looking forward to it! Thank you to the hotel and restaurant staff! Ps this hotel is unbelievably handy to the shopping centre and Ards Blair Mayne Spa if you fancy any retail therapy or relaxing!! I did both!!

Hotel was nice and clean. A little on the expensive side for drinks. Breakfast was average and a expensive for the quality. The hotel restaurant ( la scala) was a whole different level. Food was amazing. Especially the lamb shank. My wife had the chicken which was done to perfection. If you are going for a quiet trip then this hotel might be for you. If you are going as part of a trip to Belfast City then it's very far out from the city. About 20 pounds in each direction.
