5 STAR HISTORIC REFURBISHED OLD RECTORY

This wonderfully luxurious 4 bedroom (all en suite) 200-year-old historic property was originally the home of the Rev Robert Winstringham Bland (1794-1884), Rector of St George's Parish Church in Belfast. Extensively refurbished a few years ago to an exceptionally high standard and furnished with many works of art and antiques. Each bedroom has its own unique charm and each has its own large en suite. The Mayfly Room, Tartan Room and Gingham Suite are all upstairs. The Linen Room is downstairs and the en suite has a walk in shower. There is off-road parking for three cars at the front of the house. Public transport - both bus and train = are within minutes of the property. Tourism NI Registered.

I have stayed at VRBOs in six nations. This is the best I've ever experienced. No complaints, no issues, nothing but relaxing joy. Comfortable with all eight of us in the house. Excellent location to sea walk, Whiteabbey shops, and train station. Highly recommended.

An awesome stay!
All the details of this listing matched the property when first seen it. Extremely clean and nicley decorated. There was much need coffee and milk left for us on our arrival. Communication between the host and myself was extremely responsive. Ample parking, quiet, and cozy. Close to shopping Belfast city and the shore on the back doorstep. What a wonderful trip and a great stay thank you.

Old Rectory review…
Upon arrival it was a bit confusing as to actually finding the location of the street address. After several attempts we found the street we were looking for, as it runs parallel with the main road. So, our GPS was correct, but we needed to look more closely. The home was exactly as pictured. Very clean, decorated well . The kitchen was quite large, very well appointed, and all the bedrooms were lovely. I suppose the only negative(s) were: 1. After taking a shower in the upstairs bathroom, we noticed a leak in the ceiling on the main floor and the carpet wet. We notified the owner directly, and we then used a different bathroom after that, which was not a problem. 2. We also noted an “odd” odor coming from the kitchen. It appeared to come and go. Thought maybe it was from the washing machine, but it wasn’t. We never did find out what was causing it, but never the less, it was offensive and consequently, we avoided the kitchen somewhat. 3. The beds were ok, except luggage racks would have been a nice addition. Other than that, it was great!

Stunning property in a fantastic location
Booked as a surprise birthday treat for my partners Son, we were extremely pleased with the accommodation. It was spotlessly clean and exceptionally well equipped, definitely home from home. Our party being three adult couples, it was essential to have at least two bathrooms and all rooms in this property are en suite. Highly recommended.

Great location!
We had a group of six adults staying. The location was perfect for day trips to Giants Causeway and Bushmills or a very easy walk to the rail station and a quick ride into to city! The house was perfect with a beautiful view of Lough Belfast and just steps away from a wonderful walking path along the water!
