The room was lovely, very cleaner and the Guest House even kept in touch ahead of our stay!
Lovely stay. Elaine greeted me and made me feel at home showing me around. Had a walk around the waterside. Good night sleep, especially for catching the ferry (15 min drive) to Belfast. Breakfast was either cereals and yogurt or a cooked one to order. Definitely recommend a stay here.
We had an excellent stay. Very friendly and helpful owners; was able to park outside; high quality facilities; lovely breakfast; and overall enjoyable stay.
Stopped off here, as we had a ferry to catch rhe morning after The owner Elaine was there to greet us, and show us our room. Everywhere was clean and tidy, room had everything we needed. Breakfast was provided, plenty of choice, and was very tasty. Would definitely stay here again...
The hosts, Elaine and Alan, went out of their way to make my stay super comfortable. The room was lovely and also quiet. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful. Alan even, very kindly, drove me to the railway station in the morning
Such a charming and beautifully appointed room. Welcoming hosts. Easy parking. Opposite a park where we enjoyed stretching our legs waterside.
We also appreciated being the gluten free breakfast options.
We are a family of 4 traveling through 4 countries for 2 weeks. This was our favorite! Upon checkin, Alan met us and showed us to our room. He was so friendly and welcoming. We had the family suite. It was so beautiful and comfortable! Each kid had their own twin bed, and they loved it! Windows opened to hear the seagulls and cars below, and let in the cool sea breeze. There was plenty of space to move around. The bathroom was very clean and perfect for us. We ordered the full breakfast the next morning - what a delight! Elaina was very nice and made sure we pronounced “Edinburgh” correctly before leaving, haha! This place is walkable to everything in town you’d want to see. We hope to visit again one day.
