Northern Ireland

Atmospheric Belfast is bookended by a lively quayside and the imposing Black Mountain. Tucked in-between you’ll find a clutch of trendy neighbourhoods. From the cobbled streets, buzzing pubs and trendy warehouse restaurants in the Cathedral quarter to the leafy area around Queen’s University, and culture and creativity in the once industrial EastSide to the iconic City Hall in the centre, Belfast packs a punch. Away from the city, take icy wild swims, play world-class golf at Portrush, visit tiny islands, enjoy bird- and wildlife-watching and trek the breathtaking Giant’s Causeway on the rugged north coast. All this and much more can be discovered from our collection of special places to stay in northern Ireland.
