Best Holywood Hotels

My son and his fiancé got Married last Thursday at Rayanne House and from start to finish the day was just perfect. Bernie and every member of staff were outstanding. The ceremony was outside and the space was beautifully decorated. The food and wine and cocktails just perfect and the bedrooms all different and so comfortable. Breakfast next morning once again was so good with loads of choice I would highly recommend.

Meet Michael when I checked in Saturday evening around 6pm if found him not to be friendly I was checked into room no 2 it was a spacious room it had a double and single bed and the room was cold I felt the radiators and they were lukewarm I had to take the duvet cover off the single bed to keep me warm. I went down to the breakfast room for 8am and pump into Michael and he told me just help yourself and he disappeared I discovered I wasn’t going to be served a cooked breakfast and this wasn’t explained to me when I checked in I had to served myself with a continental breakfast as Michael wasn’t around to explain to me. Overall I have traveled all over the world and stayed in various hotels and B&B this is the worst experience I had I will certainly not be returning here again and will not be recommending this B&B to my friends.

We just love the ambience of the Culloden hotel and make it our stay over place when on a night out in Belfast. We always take time in the Spa to relax, have lunch in the Lough bar/ lounge and a few wee cocktails to warm up. The place is spotless, tidy and rooms, beds and pillows extra comfy. Staff are always helpful and pleasant. Food and dining is always enjoyable and if there’s time it’s always nice to take a stroll round the grounds.

Hotel was nice and clean. A little on the expensive side for drinks. Breakfast was average and a expensive for the quality. The hotel restaurant ( la scala) was a whole different level. Food was amazing. Especially the lamb shank. My wife had the chicken which was done to perfection. If you are going for a quiet trip then this hotel might be for you. If you are going as part of a trip to Belfast City then it's very far out from the city. About 20 pounds in each direction.

The hotel is beautiful, with a sense of history, Titanic theme, service is not bad. It is suitable for taking pictures, even checkin male waiters, wearing a lot of Jack. There are many photos of the year in the building, and the manuscripts are very traversing, suitable for Titanic movies and history lovers! Recommend not far from the dot coffee, you can feel socialism when you enterprising, you must pay, and add color to the Chinese. The disadvantage is: because of the historical building, the bath water is small, the room is not big.

Great little spot relatively close to the city centre. We walked into the city in about 20 minutes! It’s a self check in and check out system with very clear instructions and opportunities for help if needed. The room is very clean with a nice en-suite. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Arrived in a taxi from the airport and Checked in around 3pm. The reception staff were very alert to guest arriving from the front door. Jennifer at reception checked me in very efficiently, advised me of the breakfast times and asked if I would like to book a slot. Shortly afterwards gave me an information sheet and I was off to my room. The Room I was in was the standard king with city view. The room was bigger than expected. It had everything you need. A king bed, a large tv, enough space to put my belongings, a spacious 3 piece toilet with amenities and floor to ceiling windows which had view as far as the hills beyond. We had dinner that night at the hotel restaurant called Novelli at city quays. A separate review is on their trip advisor page. That night we ended up in the bar after going out exploring. I decided to have some gin and asked what they recommended. One of the nice bartender advised the short cross gin which I never tried and is now becoming one of my favourites. Am sorry I never caught your name. But Paul who was also working that night rang it through the till should know who you are. Paul was great too, he was kept very busy that night. Everyone was great. Special mention to Mary who remembered what I drank when I asked for another. Morning came and so did breakfast. There was a large variety of hot and cold food. From sausages, bacon and eggs, to toast, cheese and ham. Also plenty of tea, coffee and juices to choose from. Next time I come back I will make sure I book an upgraded room with a view of the river. Overall a fantastic night that couldn’t be faulted. Well recommend.
