The owners Yvonne and Stanley are really friendly and helpful. The facilities in the dining room were explained clearly as you can have good fresh coffee 24/7. The front facing bedroom with en suite wet room was lovely. A very comfortable bed with high quality bedding. A superb choice for breakfast with everything cooked fresh to order. I was driven to the airport on the day of depart. This is a gem of a place to stay. It is only 30 minutes to central Belfast and for any GOT enthusiasts the filming scenes are in East reach as is the coast. A truly beautiful house with excellent hosts.

Fantastic Servu
I booked this B & B for my teenage son who was visiting Belfast for a recruitment fair. The owner of the B & B kindly picked my son up from the airport which is fantastic service. My son had to leave in the early hours of the morning for a flight so unfortunately could not comment on breakfast but he said the he enjoyed his stay, the room was great & the owner was really nice & helpful!

Many thanks for the kind review. Yes we do always recommend a car.

(we also do offer our own shuttle service at low cost if we can facilitate) Reviews always greatly appreciated and glad you enjoyed your stay.

Many thanks for your review and glad you did enjoy your stay. We would ask anyone who would anticipate that they may arrive early, to please let us know in advance and we will always endeavour to be there to welcome them, or at least have a key available for them. Google maps is very good for finding us and whilst Ballyharvey House is even on Ordinance Survey maps, some Sat. Navs. particularly on hired cars, seem to be inaccurate despite us being only about half a mile from a very main arterial route, the A26. Sadly Road Service will not allow us to erect any more signs, even though we pay them the full cost for any signs they do erect. Hope this is of help to others.

Words cannot begin to describe Balleyharvey. Nothing could be improved. Wonderful hospitality, fantastic full Irish breakfast, flowers all around. clean and so tidy, By far the best place we stayed at in our almost 3 weeks tour of the British Isles. We are so pleased with the 3 days we spent here.

Very comfortable, large and well laid out rooms. Clean and well appointed. Better than most highly rated hotels. Most welcoming hosts. Great rural setting and quiet. Plenty of safe parking. Good and varied breakfast and nothing is a problem to the hosts. Most highly recommended. We stayed on for a couple of extra nights as it would have been unlikley we would have found similar lodgings.

I highly recommend this B&B. Stanley and Yvonne are very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very good and the location is convenient although a tad hard to find since like most B&Bs don’t show up on gps very well (google maps works fine). I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area again. Just 2 kms from Antrim. Loved it!

We found Ballyharvey House very easy. A short drive from the airport and the town, it's a great location. Our host Stanley was very accommodating and made us feel instantly welcome. Stanley was also on hand to advise us of local places to eat and visit, with town a short taxi ride away it was perfect. We can highly recommend this impressive B&B. It is clean, comfortable and quite and will certainly be our location of choice if we travel to the area again.

Excellent experience here. My husband and I stayed for 5 nights. Yvonne and Stanley were exceptional hosts, cooking complimentary breakfast every morning. They were attentive while respecting our privacy. They made us feel right at home. Super location- 20 min drive from Belfast, a few miles from Belfast International Airport, but you don't hear any noise from the airport. Calm, comfortable, clean. Highly recommend for couples, families, individuals, anyone. We hope to go back one day!
