Lovely quiet stay
Stayed one night, had a lovely welcome and a cosy and comfortable room, lovely to have a kettle in the roomand fresh milk available downstairs. Delicious breakfast which was à la carte which worked great for us as was reasonably priced and meant we didn’t feel we had to eat everything !

A gem in Belfast
We recently stayed at Ravenhill House for a night and had a fantastic experience. If you’re heading to Belfast, especially for the rugby, this is the place to be.The room was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We stayed in the Flax Room, which felt very cozy and featured some lovely thoughtful touches, including quality complimentary toiletries and a great selection of refreshments. Most importantly, the bed was so comfy that I had the best night’s sleep I've had in a really long time!The only slight downside was the TV; it was quite small and positioned at an awkward angle, making it a bit difficult to watch from the comfort of the bed.Roger gave us a wonderful welcome. He was incredibly friendly and, knowing we were in town for the rugby, went above and beyond by giving us directions to the ground and recommending some great spots for dinner and drinks nearby.You couldn't ask for a better spot. It’s within easy walking distance to the Ulster Rugby ground and the city centre. Plus, it’s only a convenient 20-minute drive to Belfast City Airport.The breakfast was absolutely delicious and very easy to order. A quick "pro-tip" for future guests: read your booking confirmation carefully! We mistakenly assumed breakfast was included in the room rate and were surprised by a charge after we left. This was entirely our own fault for missing the small print, and honestly, the food was so tasty it was well worth it, just be sure to check your specific booking details so you aren't caught off guard.We would definitely recommend Ravenhill House. It’s a charming, well-run B&B, and we will 100% stay here again on our next trip to Belfast!
