Dunsilly Hotel

Dunsilly Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 4 nights. The food was excellent and the breakfast offers a huge variety. The staff are really friendly and the hotel was very clean and well maintained. We were looking to book but it again for the following week but was fully booked in no time. It's only 15 mins drive from Belfast International Airport."

8/10 Good
"Nice place. Miss the personal welcome, it makes a difference. We received a blank check-in email and had no one to help or even a number to call. Thankfully they responded quickly to the email help request so we received our full check in details without too much delay. Some cleaning issues eg mould in shower. Poor quality gowns, bleach stains on them and no gown belts, poor quality towels. Both things fairly tatty. We booked for 2 adults and two children - the apartment was only set up for 2 in the double bed. Sofa bed bedding left on the floor. They provided only 3 towels, and not enough shower gel. Hot tub was lovely, too hot initially so we waited to cool it, then it was cut off at midnight - really disappointing as we had had to wait for it to cool then got about 10 minutes in it!! Thought the open fire was great, but nothing to light the fire had been provided and there was not enough firewood. Overall it’s a good spot, good location and great potential but definitely improvements needed. Wouldn’t categorize it as luxury glamping due to the points highlighted."

"Really nice hotel and amazing staff. The one thing I would say is that it’s not very well connected, the train station is around a 25-30 minute walk from the hotel and the train to Belfast are every hour (10 past every hour) so it’s a little bit of a pain to get anywhere. However can’t fault the staff or the hotel. It’s located near lots of a good food places and a supermarket on the door step"

"The price was right. Elisabeth was very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. But, the outside of the house needs quite a bit of gardening. Inside the house was cluttered and needs housekeeping. We don’t like talking negative about such a nice host, but with the cleanup listed, this property could be ideal."
