Loughview

Bangor

Housed in a historic building, Loughview features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi in Bangor, 1 km from Ballyholme Beach. With inner courtyard views, this accommodation provides a patio. The property is non-smoking and is situated 21 km from SSE Arena.

Towels and bed linen are available in the guest house. Additional in-room amenities include fruits.

The guest house has a picnic area and a terrace. Having briefly considered a chain hotel near the train station we jumped at the change to stay at the Loughview when I noticed it on booking.com. The properties on this street are beautiful! Communication throughout was fab and it was lovely to meet both Orla and Steve. The room had everything we needed, the bathroom was lovely and the bed really comfy. There was plenty on offer for breakfast with the added bonus of a fantastic view while we ate! Thank you for opening your home to us. At no point did it feel awkward or like we were intruding (even getting in gone midnight). We would highly recommend staying at the Loughview!

Cairn Bay Lodge

Bangor

A recently renovated guest house set in Bangor, Cairn Bay Lodge features a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, hairdresser's and spa facilities. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. I loved it here. It could hardly have been easier to find, for one thing. I had a gorgeous room with wonderful views out over the bay. I was able to open the window to prevent me overheating (I like it cold!). I got a warm welcome on arrival, including a much-needed coffee. Breakfast was excellent. It's within a short walk of many restaurants, too. Would love to stay here again.
