This property was excellent. The house has the most magnificient views of the area. Our room was beautiful and clean. Our breakfast options were plentiful. Our hosts, Valerie and Ken were very knowledgable about the area and their suggestions for dining and sightseeing were excellent. It was the best B & B that I have ever stayed at. Can't wait to go back!

A shining example of what a B&B should be!

Valerie and her family are exceptional hosts with an exceptional property. We wanted a base from which to explore Northern Ireland and this fit the bill perfectly. Each morning we embarked on new adventures with our stomachs full from a truly deluxe, delicious breakfast. We returned home each night to perfectly comfortable lodgings with the makings of an evening tea (or coffee) and biscuits at the ready. You can stop your search now, you’ve found the value, comfort, and experience you’re looking for!

We had an overnight stay at the manor and everything was lovely. Our rooms were spotless and the view out the window was spectacular. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. I would fully recommend the manor for a mini break.

Fantastic rural getaway location. Breakfast was wonderful and cooked to order by the host. Lots of options to choose from. Very comfortable beds. Great WiFi. Local village of Royal Hillsborough is beautiful with lots of lovely shops. You need a car for this location.

Val and Ken were excellent hosts. The property is finished to a very high standard in a beautiful, quiet location close to Hillsborough and Lisburn. We were a family of four and stayed in the Hillsborough Suite (two spacious double bedrooms with a shared en-suite.). The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing (continental or pancakes & bacon.) We cannot recommend this property highly enough and will be back!
