My Mum recently organised a reunion for her old work colleagues and this involved arranging accommodation for her travelling guests, they had two main requests, they wanted serenity and comfort. With a whole host of hotels and guest houses in North Down meeting their requests was not a going to be a problem. My Mum enlisted my help to scour the internet, travel brochures and the local paper for somewhere suitable. But it was in fact driving home one night that signalled the end of our search. We chose Pinecroft Guest House primarily because of its location, it was within walking distance from the seaside and village amenities but also far enough away that my our guests could feel complete solitude. The guests finally arrived and felt right at home at Pinecroft B & B, they were put at ease by May Boyd who is the proprietor. One morning they even explained the reason for there visit and May encouraged them to invite us over for breakfast. Who could refuse such an offer? The breakfast was superb, everything you would expect from a great hostess. The house had a traditional country feel to it, the type of place you could you felt comfortable walking around in your bare feet as if it were your own home. The guests raved about the hotel and our search was not in vain. read more
