“The location is convenient, right on the edge of Belfast, and I hear the sunrises can be spectacular; rooms are reportedly very clean and quiet. Though bathrooms are on the smaller side, the staff's helpfulness and blueberry muffins make up for it. For a simple, classic stay, this place seems a solid choice.”
