“First choice every time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

An excellent establishment run by husband & wife team Gerry & Mary which is homely and welcoming. Much nicer atmosphere that an impersonal hotel chain any day. Very comfortable night’s sleep and a brilliant breakfast (Gerry is a professional chef). My wife uses the Old Rectory regularly while in Belfast for work commitments. What a treat to be able to join her last night and get a trip to the theatre and avail of the hospitality of this excellent establishment

Room Tip: Myrtlefield room to the front of the building is rooms and very comfortable

“Great Accommodation, Food and Hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

We have stayed at the Old Rectory twice now and would recommend it to everyone. The home and bedrooms are decorated very period-like and are most comfortable. Great bathrooms and facilities. The location of the B & B is perfect; close to all amenities and the downtown district. The hosts are very accommodating and helpful with all aspects of your stay in Belfast. The food is absolutely wonderful. Lots of variety to choose from and the helpings are very generous. We will most certainly stay here again when we return to Belfast.

Room Tip: We had the Newforge Room both times and is very quiet as it is in the back of the house.

“Very comfortable B&B, great food, friendly hosts, close to the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

My mum and I stayed at the Old Rectory in Belfast for two nights in early January at the end of our trip around Ireland. We found the room to be very comfortable, the beds were incredibly nice to sleep on, the rooms were clean and well maintained and had all that we needed for an enjoyable stay. The house is a lovely old building, beautifully maintained, very quiet and we felt very much at home during our stay. The hosts Mary and Gerry were lovely, very helpful and friendly. Gerry is a chef and he provides a wonderful array of choices for breakfast and if you book in advance you can also have a lovely dinner at the B&B. Breakfast was delicious, so many choices, with freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade bread, lovely pastries and all sorts of hot meals from omlettes to baked eggs with confit duck etc. One night we decided to have a light dinner here as well - the carrot and coriander soup was incredibly delicious with the homemade bread and we had some lovely wine as well.
Location-wise, this B&B is in a fantastic position to get into town very easily and quickly. It is a short drive or a bus stop right out the front of the B&B takes you into the city in no time at all.

Room Tip: We were on the very top floor (of 4? floors) and found our room to be a bit cold even though there w...

“Very clean, warm and friendly ... great breakfast.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Stayed at this B&B as an alternative to city centre hotel and found it to be every bit as good (if not better than some we have stayed in).

Room was clean and warm. Gerry was very helpful in advising us of local eateries, and organising reservations and transportation.

Breakfast the following morning was very good.

We will return when staying in Belfast again and will be recommending to friends and family.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

I travel a lot around UK and NI, this time I went on a bussines trip to Belfast and stayed in Old Rectory. Hosts were very friendly, room clean and comfortable bed, on top of that I was served the best breakfast in a long time. Highly recommended.
