On a recent trip, my granddaughter and I called last minute to see if Pauline could fit us in. She…read morereturned our call within the hour and warmly welcomed us. What began as a one-night stay quickly turned into three and even then, it was hard to leave. The house is impeccably clean, and our room had so many thoughtful touches, such as chocolates, tea, and hot chocolate waiting for us. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and Pauline made sure we were familiar with how to use the shower. Our ground-floor room overlooked her blooming garden, a lovely, peaceful view to wake up to each morning. During our visit, the house was being reroofed due to storm damage, yet Pauline made sure the roofers didn't start too early so we wouldn't be disturbed. That attention to detail speaks volumes about the care she puts into her guests' experience. The breakfasts were truly exceptional - completely bespoke, with anything you want prepared just the way you like it. Enjoying a delicious meal served on crystal, china, and silver while gazing out over the lough felt like such a treat - elegant, relaxing, and deeply satisfying. An amazing way to start each day! Pauline goes above and beyond to help with anything you might want to do in the area. Whether it's arranging tea at the Merchant Hotel or booking tours of the Titanic exhibit, she takes care of it with enthusiasm and efficiency. Her recommendations of local businesses made our trip so much easier and she even arranged to have our laundry done! Her husband, Ambrose, is also a delight--charming, insightful, and a pleasure to chat with. Leaving Hargreaves House felt like saying goodbye to family. Both my granddaughter and I felt an immediate connection, as though we'd known Pauline and Ambrose for years. We left with full hearts and wonderful memories. We can't wait to return!

The wonderful experience started even before we arrived. Their pre-arrival communications assured us our upcoming stay was in the best hands...and upon arriving, we quickly learned that the accommodations, culinary experiences, and Islay insights for all our local day trips would be world class; and, they were!!! Glenegedale House is such a cozy, inviting house, exceptionally well-appointed throughout, including the wonderful bedrooms that inspired us with a real sense of tranquility. Glenegedale is also surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of Islay. Graham and Emma are excellent chefs and each meal was a culinary masterpiece...incorporating fresh-caught seafood, other locally-produced foods, and Islay's amber elixirs into an amazing experience. From Graham's special Islay porridge, to the seafood platter that included scallops someone on Islay dove for that day...Graham and Emma make each guest feel extra special. We will never forget the presentation and the deliciousness of each meal. Their knowledge of Islay and their deep relationships across the island, also added to our visits to historic sites, distilleries, and craft shops. We amended some of our itinerary, based on their insights and we're so glad we did. They've given us a much better appreciation for the island and the people of Islay. This was an extraordinary experience because of our stay at Glenegedale House. We give Glenegadelle House (Emma and Graeme) our highest recommendation and will definitely be back as soon as possible.

Very welcoming & very friendly owners and staff. Breakfast each morning was delicious-especially the salmon!

Our room had a beautiful view of Belfast Castle and Cavehill country parkWould definitely recommend staying here

Hotel was well located and quiet, a little off the busy street with stores and restaurants but still close enough to walk to Queens U, Ulster Museum, and the Botanic Gardens. Rooms are on the smaller side but have a bath tub and plenty of hot water which is always nice. Little fridge and a kettle provided. Front desk staff is very helpful. Breakfast was more delightful than expected with a full selection of cooked to order dishes as well as the usual fruit and croissants. Definitely worth staying next time I'm in Belfast.

The room was incredibly spacious. The best shower I've ever had outside the U.S. -- hot and with excellent water pressure. Great breakfasts as you'd expect (my personal recommendation is the French Toast with cheese and tomato). Golfers who've been to Bandon Dunes, it's like staying at The Inn, but with friendly, warm personal service. *Perfectly* positioned about a three wood and a nine-iron from the pro shop at Portstewart and only a 10-minute drive to Royal Portrush.

The house is just far enough from the bustle of the town, and about 30 minutes from Giants Causeway and the Rope Bridge. You would be hard pressed to find better accommodations for the value.
