Delightful B&B
Lovely place to stay. Thought we had booked a hotel but it was a B&B but not really an issue. When we checked in, we felt the greeting and introduction was rushed and not as welcoming as it should have been. Again, we thought we had breakfast included but were advised this was not the case.

Comfortable bed but !
The room was dusty and the sink in the bathroom had a large crack. The room was on the ground floor which was excellent as my mobility is poor but the windows were frosted so we had no view at all. The bed was very comfortable and clean so we slept well. Definitely wouldn't rate 5 star. We were greeted well on arrival but on departure no one asked how our room or our stay was.

Loved the spacious bedroom and lovely views. The beds are so comfortable. Really wanted to give this property a five star review but the bathroom was so poor. The shower is over the bath which is tolerable but the water pressure is awful. Don't plan on washing your hair while you are here. It is also impossible to regulate the water tempature so you are constantly having to adjust it from hot to cold. I really hope this can be addressed as it is a lovely property.

Owner and staff very helpful and friendly; room clean and good amenities; nice atmosphere but house is old and a bit of a rabbit warren and floors squeaky; other residents who are less considerate slam doors when entering late at night which can affect sleep. Convenient to George Best City Airport (5 mins or so) and 5 mins to Holywood Shops.

Less than Expected
Was disappointed with our room, it was small, tired and worn with a window view looking onto a weed garden and some sort of large oil container. In contrast to the bedroom area the bathroom was large modern and lovely. Awakened during the night with noises coming from above as if a boiler was bursting into life every now and then which was annoying. Breakfast choice and food was exceptional. Public rooms were traditional and very pleasant to sit in but unfortunately we were disappointed with this "Luxury" bed and breakfast and did not consider it to be the 5 star stated or what we were expecting for price paid.

Great B&B in a friendly town
I had a very enjoyable stay. The room, like the rest of the B&B, was tastefully decorated, comfortable, and immaculate. Staff were very friendly and had an aura of peace about them that contributed to the relaxed atmosphere. The breakfasts were creative and delicious.

Wonderful relaxing overnight stay
We stayed overnight after a wedding in a local hotel. Our room was at the top of the house with a balcony and fabulous view. It had everything you would want including a decanter of Port. The only negative when we entered the room in evening there was a strong smell of smoke. The breakfast was amazing. We left out our order the evening before taken from an extensive menu.

Charming guest lodge
The Rayanne House is a picturesque guest house in a beautiful neighborhood just outside Belfast. Our rooms were on the top floor so a bit of a hike up but the one facing the water had a wonderful view. It would have been nice to know in advance about the quantity of stairs. As it was we opted to open our suitcases in the parking area and take out just what we needed for the night so the big bags did not have to come up. Both rooms were a bit warm, being at the top. Our room with the view had a nice window to open to catch the breeze. Our friends were not as lucky. Their windows opened but there wasn't much breeze, they were warm. I would choose room 14 over room 12. Breakfast was mostly good. Poached eggs were overdone, but all else was fine. After arriving we went for a nice walk down to the town of Holywood. Had dinner at the Dirty Duck then walked the water promenade. The Dirty Duck was a good choice for food. Two of us had their burger which had pork meat mixed in with the beef making it moist. Chip were very well done. I would stay here again if in the area.

High Quality Hotel in Holywood Belfast
We stayed in Rayanne House for the last leg of our 30th Anniversary Tour up the Wild Atlantic way and had the luxury of staying for two nights in this exceptional high quality property. The hotel is ideally situated to use as a base for touring round the Belfast local Area - a Taxi ride into the city only costs between £10 and £12 (our driver on the return trip was graet giving us a running commentary of the history and identity of Belfast. We went into The city and enjoyed a fantastic night out at the Lyric Theatre followed by a few drinks in the numerous bars close to the theatre. We vistited the Titantic Experience and took advantage of the early saver (entry before 9:45 saves £3 per person and misses a lot of the crowds). Holywood the local town area provides some great places to eat and drink. Breakfast in Rayanne is exceptional and full continental and cooked is provided, the full cooked freshly prepared and served in the exquiste dinning room (just remeber to complete your breakfast requests the night before!!) breakfast also provides options to have something other than a full traditional Irish although both of us opted for the full Irish on both days - My wife particually loved the Black and White clonakilty puddings. We particually enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking at the view drinking more bubbly to celebrate our anniversary.

excellent small hotel in attractive grounds close to the Holywood High Street, where there are fantastic restaurants. the gourmet breakfast is to die for, and the furnishing both in the rooms and the common areas are comfortable and inviting. And the complimentary decanter of port in the bedroom is really appreciated.

Not a 5 star (in my view)
Booked Superior Double. Pleasant greeting - Shown to room 8 at the back, small, overlooking hillside and oil tank. Kettle cord wouldn't reach shelf, rip in the seat of the one chair. Suggested to owner that I thought it very expensive for what was being offered. Offered room across the corridor - room 6. Large airy room with 2 large windows, plenty of room to walk around the bed. Nicely furnished. Kettle (and socket) in the wardrobe cupboard. Fresh milk available on request. Above all - a beautiful view of Belfast Lough. Was told both rooms are Superior doubles but there was no comparison between the two! So if you're offered room 8 be aware that, in my opinion, you're paying over the top for it. Good lounge facilities. Breakfast was good, but I've had equally good (better?) at other BnBs
