"Well communicated contactless check in, beautiful property and rooms, cute little town, and the breakfast was good! Coffee was great, Charlie makes a great flat white! Parking can be a little bit of a nuisance, and like many historical properties no elevator so if you need help with your luggage plan ahead as the property is not always staffed. Lovely. Also Forrest Park is not to far down the road if you would like a lovely walk around the lake. the Parson's Nose is quite good as a dinner option...

Top McAuley's Lake Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Belfast City by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was fine. Walking distance to the centre of Belfast which was helpful. We unfortunately had very noisy neighbours during our stay so we had two nights of very little sleep due to the noise they made."

Crowne Plaza Belfast by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good clean hotel and very friendly"

Second Nature Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Maldron Hotel Belfast City

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and a very pleasant stay would definitely book again"

Leonardo Hotel Belfast

8/10 Good

"Great central hotel, the staff are always very helpful, but the rooms are starting to feel very tatty and dated, please upgrade :)"

The Briers

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed before and we'll definitely be back. Such a lovely peaceful place, perfect for quiet getaways and close enough to Newcastle for the more active."

Avoca Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice rooms, lovely staff and great location. Have stayed before and will do again."

Haslem Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent all around. Top marks!"

Burrendale Hotel Country Club & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice facility-friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant was very good. The spa was excellent. Centrally located and an abundance of self parking. The front desk was extremely helpful in finding us another room as the first one didn’t meet our requirements. It obviously is very popular/busy as a consequence it’s looking a little tired and worn. It could use some minor maintenance-eg paint, cleaning the grout in the showers, etc. We would definitely stay at the hotel again."
