Looking for a quiet and luxurious getaway just outside Belfast? Here’s why Clandeboye Lodge could be right up your street…
Clandeboye Lodge is a stylish, welcoming 4* hotel located in a tranquil woodland setting just minutes from Belfast City in Bangor, Northern Ireland.
Clandeboye Lodge is a place apart. It’s only a few miles from Belfast but fully immersed in the tranquillity of nature. Surrounding the hotel are glens, forests, rivers, paths, meadows and great golf courses, all ready to be explored.
Of course, you are close to city life with Belfast’s bars, restaurants and tourist attractions as well as the vibrant cultural life of Bangor and North Down. But first and foremost, this is a place for lovers of the outdoors. The freshest of air, the gentlest of paces, the quietest of times and always returning to the serene luxury of Clandeboye Lodge for a drink, a rest and the finest of local food at Coq & Bull.
There are so many attractions to mention! Lovers of sport, nature, music, history and heritage will find something to enjoy. Families will love the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra, the Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry and the popular Pickie Fun Park in Bangor. Game of Thrones fans are close to Castle Ward where it all began, and history lovers can check out Titanic Belfast and Bangor Abbey.
Golfers can take advantage of the multitude of golf courses within a short distance of Clandeboye Lodge. For walkers there is the superb Ulster Way and loads of wonderful local walking trails. For watersports enthusiasts there are chances to sail, paddle board, canoe and swim and the terrain is perfect for cyclists. There is even the Eddie Irvine motor sport centre nearby for petrol heads!
Our Family Favourite room is a home from home. With a large double bed and up to 2 extra single beds, it can sleep 2 adults and up to 2 children. The children will love the easy access to the gardens and the parents will appreciate the in-room Nespresso machine. If you’re looking for a family golfing getaway, we’ve put together a stay & play family package. This includes 2 nights B&B, 1 dinner, 1 round on 18 hole Par 3 course and 250 balls on driving range for a family of 4.
Clandeboye Lodge is the perfect base for exploring the local woodland trails and costal paths that Northern Ireland has to offer. Surrounded by a choice of scenic walks, of varying lengths and terrain, there’s something for the leisurely stroller and the more avid walker. Some of our favourite local walking trails include Clandeboye Way, Crawfordsburn Country Park, Cairn Wood, Mount Stewart, Scrabo Hill and Killynether Wood.
Our ‘Date with nature’ package includes 1 night with a late afternoon Irish Coffee and luxury shortbread after your day of walking plus dinner and a bottle of wine in the evening. Or for the tired feet, our in-room spa package ‘Tranquil Indulgence’ is the perfect option.
