The Space
Beautiful traditional red brick townhouse in Belmont - a very historical quarter of East Belfast. Inside you will find lots of room for your family/group.
The living room has a very relaxing color scheme and plush comfortable sofas - perfect for curling up with a good book or watching your shows on our 50 inch TV.
There is a fully equipped kitchen and a separate dining area so you can enjoy those home made meals (or takeaways from one of the many nearby eateries!) together.
On the second floor you will find two bedrooms (1 super king and 1 double) as well as a very calming bathroom with full bath to soak in after a long day sightseeing.
The top floor brings you to the third comfy bedroom which has a king bed.
All beds will be made up with crisp white hotel quality linen and soft fluffy towels.
Finally there is also a patio area at the back of the house if you do want to relax outside. You will also find the utility area (washing machine) outside the main house.
The Area
Belmont is a fabulous area where the neighbors are lovely and everyone takes care of their homes! At the end of the road you will find many cafes and shops (we recommend Binkys for coffee and lunch and Sorellina if you like pizza).
Just 5 minutes walk you will also find the last of the famous art deco cinemas of Belfast - the Strand. It is very much still open and we encourage you to visit as it is important to give it business in the face of its more multi-national competitors.
The village of Ballyhackamore is 10 minutes walk and it has an even wider selection of bars, cafes and full on restaurants (you must try Bistro Este!).
The city centre is easily reached by one of the very frequent buses and takes only 8 minutes.
Victoria Park is located 5 minutes driver/15 minutes walk away and is a lovely circular walk around a lake and also has play park, basketball court, BMX track etc. All are free. It also hosts the Park run every Saturday morning.
