The Briers Country House

Newcastle

Offering free WiFi, parking on-site and a garden, the recently renovated property of The Briers Country House, offers accommodation in Newcastle, 2.9 km from Newcastle Beach and 23 km from Down Cathedral. The property features mountain views, and is 34 km from The Cathedral of Saint Patrick and Saint Colman. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. I loved the little extras, there was a Christmas tree in our room, my little boy loved it. The complimentary drink was a lovely touch. The breakfast was great for it only being continental, great selection of breads and fruit, yogurt etc. The views were beautiful, a great location. Only a few minutes drive into town but felt like we were a million miles away. The host was a lovely guy, very welcoming and friendly. Asked us throughout our stay were we OK, warm enough etc. The rooms were toasty warm, we were there in December so it was great to get back into our rooms knowing the beds were so comfy and warm. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Seaview Guesthouse

Rostrevor

Located in Rostrevor, Seaview Guesthouse offers en-suite accommodation with free WiFi access throughout. The property features a bar, as well as a terrace with barbecue facilities, and provides guests with on-site private parking free of charge and bicycle rental services to explore the surroundings. Location location location. And what simply lovely hosts. The main and real reason for staying, and returning once again in the future to stay, at Seaview were the warm and very hospitable hosts -- you don't find that many places these days with this special and very unusual personal touch. They were such fine people Martina and Brendan. We did not have a vehicle and their son Patrick dropped my daughter and I to a restaurant for dinner and Brendan took us all the way to the train station two towns away and stopped to allow me to pick up a gift from the gift shop. He provided onward travel suggestions and gave us a little tour with lots of quaint details on the way to the station. The room and bathroom was sumptuously comfortable. Breakfast excellent and as requested. Martina and Brendan have invested time and care in making sure every detail was just right from the welcoming cookies to where you might have your tea to little signs and notes on where things can be found. We had no real reason for visiting Rostrevor on our holiday in Northern Ireland in May 2022 but Seaview was in the the reason to visit. Peaceful, so beautiful and wonderful hospitality. Hat tip, Martina and Brendan

Cairn Bay Lodge

Bangor

Cairn Bay Lodge is in extensive gardens overlooking Ballyholme Beach. The villa is ideal for visits to Belfast and Ards Peninsula.

Cairn Bay Lodge was named 'Guesthouse of the Year' in 2006 and 2007 by NI Tourism. Just a perfect place for a guy like me! I'm sure anybody would feel right at home here. I had the single room with a balcony and a picturesque seaside view! I started every morning with an incredible breakfast and because of the ideal location was minutes walking distance to any and everything I could possibly need. I highly recommend the Cairn Bay Lodge to everyone who wants to experience Bangor at its best!
