Rayanne House

Booked for the night of a family wedding in June. They phoned to cancel the booking today because they received a block booking with not a word of apology or alternative offered when finding reasonably priced accommodation for that date was already difficult enough.

Nice little guest house, some lovely views and nice and close to the town so can walk down and back if you wanted to eat somewhere else one night. We were at a small wedding, it was an enjoyable day, and the rooms are clean and decorated to show the character of the building.

Just be aware of the spiders! We had quite the 8-legged visitor in one of our bathrooms. Breakfast was wonderful, more upscale than what we were used to. Lovely views if rooming on the front of the house.

Short amble up the hill for an amazing unpretentious, homely tasting menu with friendly service and food that was simply out of this world! Flexible for dietary needs of the party and excellent wine pairings. Reasonable priced. Highly recommend.

My partner and i stayed here for two nights and loved every minute of it . We adored the exceptional breakfast, each morning and found all the staff to be highly efficient and warm and friendly . Our room was on the top floor and we enjoyed a fantastic view across the lough . The room was so spacious and quiet and elegantly furnished . We were very impressed with Bernie and Conor ‘s help , when our car had an unexpected technical problem and Conor put us in touch with a local mechanic, who was so helpful and accommodating . We will definitely be staying in this lovely home again . Thank You .

This is an additional review to the one I have already written on Google, which the owner has responded to, but I am not able to respond to their response. So I'm writing this one as well! We arrived at 12.30am, due to flight delays, and were disappointed as we walked up to the front door to see a hen do group (clearly identifiable by one lady wearing a fancy dress bridal veil, dressed in white), drinking in the front lounge. We checked in to our room which was directly about the room they were drinking in, and could not sleep until past 2am. I find it baffling that a "5*" establishment on the outskirts of Belfast allows a hen do party to stay up that late. There is a wide variety of choice at breakfast, but we felt like the quality was lacking in some ingredients, namely the sausages and the bread. The breakfast room was set up with a large table in the middle of it. Another couple asked a member of staff if that was for the hens, to which the staff member replied "yes, the calm before the storm". I mention this, and the bridal veil above, because the owner replied to my Google review saying that it was just "a group of ladies in their 40s", not a hen do, who were supposedly only up until 1am. After breakfast, we set off for the wedding we were attending nearby. A lady sat downstairs kindly agreed to take a picture of me and my partner. She asked if we were off to a wedding, which we confirmed, and she replied "ah lovely, I am here for a hen do". Our room needed some serious TLC. Despite house being a big, beautiful period property the room was dressed with a black gloss and veneer bed + wardrobe + side tables. The veneer was peeling on the bed. The wardrobe was a bizarre corner unit, which was very impractical, despite their being plenty of room for a normal one on the right hand side of the room. The bath taps were the wrong way round (cold giving out hot, and vice versa). The shower pressure was bad. The light was motion detected, and when the people above us went into their bathroom, our light would come on! It was almost comical when water started pouring through the ceiling on the day we left from the bathroom above ours. The staff we encountered whilst we were there were polite. There was interesting choices for breakfast. Perhaps their titanic menu is 5*, but the accommodation was absolutely not. Please go and find my review on Google and read the response from the owner!

We had our wedding dinner at Rayanne House. It was a wonderful experience in every way. The location, the house, the service, the food. Great feedback from all of the family after the event. Many will be returning to Rayanne House to try the Titanic tasting menu. As will we! Many thanks to Bernie and Conor for helping us make our day so special.

This is a wonderful place to stay, with some new delights to try on the extensive breakfast menu. The caramel spiced oranges were a big hit, so much so we came away with the recipe, and the hot baked cereal was another winner. The rooms were very comfortable and there is a really good choice of drinks to enjoy in the lounges. The highlight however was the tasting menu which was absolutely stunning, one of the best meals we have ever had. Add to this super friendly staff and owners and we would not hesitate in recommending here and would definitely like to return

Second time staying in Rayanne House. Perfect location from Belfast City Airport, amazing breakfast & room. Special thank you to Simon and Agnes for the great service. Highly recommend the cream chilled porridge at breakfast. Will definitely be back!
