A well located hotel with friendly staff and a chef for dinner who knew what they were doing
Pros:

Acceptable basic breakfast. The 2 dinners we ate were well cooked and presented but the menu was predictable - chips with everything. the Maitre'd was very friendly and helpful, with tips of what to see in Belfast. The hotel is well located for Strangford Lough - good birdwatching, Grey Abbey and NT Mount Stewart and Castle Ward. Free parking!

Cons:

The dinner menu

Wonderfully friendly staff and comfortable rooms
Pros:

The beds were very comfortable and the staff was exceptional. We would stay again just because of them. They found my mother's phone under her bed when she asked if anyone had turned one in at the front desk. They sent a cleaning person immediately up to her room to check there. Great full breakfast and we enjoyed the restaurant on site for dinner as well.

Cons:

Nothing.

I will never stay again if I can help it
Pros:

It was clean and it was well fitted for breakfast

Cons:

So they put a disco in the night up until 12pm and you could hear it in the rooms. It was awful as we needed to wake up early. Also the beds were making noise every time you moved so it keep us awake at night

Hôtel confortable et professionnel, restaurant super

Chambre confortable et grande. Personnel à l'écoute et flexible d'autant que nous ne savions pas combien de temps nous allions rester. Restaurant de l'hôtel très pro malgré une réception d'un évènement anniversaire ce soir là. Menu excellent.

Cons:
