“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Booked this lodge after reading the reviews, and was not disappointed! Rooms were warm, clean and tidy.
Breakfast is amazing, portions that keep you going all day. Evening meal cooked by Annette is 'proper' food and is superb.
Nothing ever felt a chore and I was made to feel very, very welcome.
Definately recommend Gil Good Lodge and wouldnt hesitate to book another say here if I have the chance!!
Fantastic!

“"Outstanding"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011 via mobile

I would strongly recommend this hotel to Everyone visiting northern Ireland. My work booked this lodge for me as I was working in Craigavon for 4 days thinking it'll be just another lodge but I was so wrong.
Annette the owner couldn't do enough for us, she really looked after us from start to finish with the kind of service u would expect from a 5 star hotel.
She cooked us meals in evening fit for a king for a budget to suit any individual.
The hotel was warm and clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was awesome.
When I come again with my family, I would definatley stay here, no hesitation and my kids are very fussy but they would love it here.
Thank you Annette you're a star Mo ;)

“5* welcome - looking forward to our next trip .....”

My family stayed here for 4 nights. The service that Annette and her team provided was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. The quality of rooms were excellent as was the 'breakfast' although, as my son discovered, going for the 'full Irish large breakfast' was maybe not one of his better ideas after eating toast..... as large it most certainly was!
All in all, our trip was an excellent first visit to Northern Ireland and thanks to the amazing welcome we received here, cannot wait to return. Many thanks

“outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

myself and 12 of my team stayed at the lodge. i stayed for over 2 weeks and was treated like royalty. anything you needed was available. the owners most helpful and friendly. i travel all round the uk every week and use hotels everyday and this as to be the best ever!
just watch out for the irish breakfast, its a monster of a portion but very very tasty. only problem i found with B&B was that i did not wish to leave.

“Anything Goes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

Just returned fro a 4 day stay @ Gil Good Lodge, a group of 8 of us were over for the Ulster Gp week at Dundrod, which is a Ten minute drive to the circuit, Our friends stayed there in 2010 and were really impressed so we all booked in for 2011. James & Annette run this buisiness together and are extremely friendly laid back hosts, as with the title " Anything Goes" nothing is too much trouble. Biker friendly. You even get to choose what you are going to be eating for your evening meal, as Annette asks you at the breakfast table what you fancy as a group and then caters acordingly, Not many places I have statyed at do this. Breakfast is also worth mentioning, Imagine all the usual cereals fruit ect and then you can have a Regular or Large cooked breakfast, tried the large one and well this must be the biggest breakfast I ever had, The regular is a perfectly adequate affair, As the host is always popping back in asking if anyone wants more of anything , Equally the evening meal is a mighty portion, so be prepared to gain weight over you stay. The breakfast is included in the price of the room although the evening meal is extra albiet a very reasonable price for what you get, There is also a well stocked bar attached to the dining area where you can relax and watch tv and put the world to rights with James the owner. There is also a seperate room with satelite tv and easy chairs to relax including free wireless internet access. The rooms are of a very good standard large nice and clean ensuite shower/bath with Tv and the usual complimentry stuff .
Train station at Moira is only 5 minutes down the road in car or 20 minutes on foot, this takes you in to Belfast City Centre for only £5.40.
Absolutly no complaints and certainly would not hesitate to book another stay next year for the racing again. Thanks again to James & Anette for making us all welcome.

Room Tip: You would need some form of transport to get about
