Stayed in Abbeydene House last Saturday for one night. Was looking for something reasonable priced just outside Belfast and this got full marks. Conveniently located on the A2 it is a quiet location with a great view over the sea. Owners gave us a very warm welcome and instantly felt at home. Rooms were spacious and beds very comfy. After...

Woooh~~ It's what I said when I turned to see the beautiful mansion in Newtown Abbey, just a few minutes driving from Belfast. Abbeydene locates in a quiet street and you could really throw all trouble minds away here. The 2-storey house is in very good condition and is well-equipped. In the house, you will find lots of DVDs because... More

This is a house with real character and the hosts are real characters too! They really go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The breakfasts are legendary and the view of the lough lovely. You can be close enough to Belfast (1 minutes drive)and also enjoy the refreshment of the seaside air.

I was in the Newtownabbey area for work and this was the most conveniently located B&B. When I saw the website I was amazed that such beautiful unique accommodation should be labelled a B&B and not a boutique hotel. This Victorian villa is set high above the shoreline of Belfast Lough and has the views to prove it, it is... More

Work colleagues had highly recommended Abbeydene Manor as a stop over when attending courses in the University of Ulster to save a long drive up and down to Belfast from the 'west'! They said it was amazing and I definately wasn't disappointed. Tim was very welcoming and it didn't bother me that I didn't have an ensuite as the bathroom... More

Great night with our hosts Tim and Ethy, the surroundings are beautiful, the decor is superb, the astmosphere is very welcoming. Take in all the furniture, original juke box, different levels etc as you tour the rooms. Tim and Ethy kept us entertained and our food was beautiful.

To any travellers thinking of visiting Belfast, you MUST stay here! The house is just far away enough from the city centre for it to seem like you're in the middle of no where (with the beach on one side and a main road on another), but is situated 10 minutes from a railway stop, a bus stop and it's...
