We can’t rave enough about Tara Lodge. It was really like staying in a bed and breakfast. The staff was attentive to our every need. This hotel was so comfortable and clean and within walking distance of every main shopping district. Or a quick taxi ride. Staying here really made our trip more comfortable and we were able to experience more because of the amenities offered here. We really appreciated it. Highly recommend.

Two night Belfast stay

Good location, lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast. Two night stay in November 2024. Our first night was in a room in the annexe near the car park, a road and the railway line. Too noisy for me so we requested a room change which was done very professionally and efficiently. We had a good night's sleep on our second night. After I returned home I emailed the manager and I was happy with her response.
