Shelleven House, Award Winning Accommodation

I would say this is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. We were greeted by Paul who was very kind, welcoming and helpful. He told us about the history of the town good places to eat they even had a book with menus and recommendations of pubs and restaurants to eat at. The rooms are very clean, the bed feels like your sleeping on a cloud. They also had a breakfast option which I would say is well worth the extra money. All in all I would say this your best option if your looking for somewhere to stay in the Belfast area very mom and pop,it’s a 24 min from downtown Belfast or a short train ride.

Service second to noneGreat breakfast.I did not expect room to be sorted on a two day break but all clean and fresh when I came back.Visited with large group and felt like royaltyNothing was too much trouble.

Absolute lovely place just stayed the one night myself and my partner... people lovely rooms nice and quiet.. breakfast 100%.. short walking distance from the town like 5 mins... just perfect to stay .. had a good chat with Paul when leaving lovely man. Will be back.. 1st time in Bangor and could not fault it

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, Mountain View Lodge is the perfect choice. Nestled in the mountains, the views were absolutely breathtaking. The lodge itself was cozy and charming, with attentive and warm-hearted staff. The hiking trails nearby were a nature lover's paradise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return for another mountain escape.

Stayed one night march 2023 in room 14 (ground floor). Lovely room with nice furniture and accessories. There is a small terrace but we couldn't use it because of inclement weather. The bathroom is large and well equipped. The location is very good - a short walk to the coastal path and not far from the town centre. Plenty of onsite parking. Breakfast was lovely and tasty. Above all, the hosts are super friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Thank you Paul for such a lovely stay! The room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. It’s a great location to park your car and head out on foot to explore. I’d definitely recommend and would love to come back again.

I can’t say enough about how lovely an experience it was for my husband and I to stay at Shelleven House. We had never been to Bangor before and arrived earlier than expected and thankfully Sue was able to check us in early! She was so kind, accommodating and fabulous to chat with on local recommendations.Paul is a pleasure to chat with as well; friendly and knowledgeable about what to see and do in Bangor and Belfast. I highly recommend asking Sue or Paul for tips on where to go and what to see while you are here. It is very obvious that they take a lot of care into making their guests comfortable and the stay enjoyable.The rooms are lovely, very clean and I adored the fresh flowers in the foyer each time we came in. It was very easy to come and go as we needed and had access to lots of information for travel. Every detailed seemed to be thought out for us which made travel easy and efficient.We opted for the breakfast included option and it a must! The food was excellent, the service fast and the dining staff were very friendly. It saved us so much time to be able to pop to the dining room and eat each morning.I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in a space that is comfortable, clean and close to the seaside and accessible to the trains within minutes.

Hotel is really well located. Marina is a 2 minute walk. Modern facilities, my daughter has a disability so stayed on the ground floor. She was able to do everything herself without any hassle. The cleaners even tucked her teddy in and gave it sweets and a hot chocolate. Breakfast was fantastic, and we were always able to park even when it was fully booked. The owners were really welcoming, and couldn’t do enough to make our stay as stress free as possible. If you need to stay in Bangor, or even just visiting Northern Ireland this is a great place to base yourselves.

Paul and Sue at Shelleven House were exceptional hosts. Their guest house was a tranquil and comfortable place to stay, especially as a solo traveller. I felt safe and secure at all times. I particularly appreciated how they both remembered my name and would address me by name at breakfast and around the house. Breakfast was consistently brilliant, homely and filling. There was an option for every need! I will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Highly recommended. What a fabulous place. Lovely hosts, great breakfast. Well equipped spotlessly clean rooms.
