We got engaged in this fabulous historic mansion! Our room was gorgeous with a luxurious bed, classically decorated, yet with modern touches, and breathtaking views of the Belfast Lough. There were historic artifacts and pictures throughout the home. We were provided with access to an extensive collection of DVDs. Tim and Ethel cooked the most sweet and savory breakfast (I highly recommend the sloppy tomatoes and French toast) accompanied by warm service and conversation. I've stayed in 5 star hotels that were far more expensive yet, Abbeydene House felt equally luxurious yet warm and welcoming. Tim and Ethel were respectful of our privacy whilst always being available to offer tips and advice for local activities, historic landmarks, restaurants, and pubs. We were thrilled with our experience at the Abbeydene House! read more
