Pristeen, Welcoming B&B
Roger and Olive provide a beautifully maintained home, with delicious breakfast choices. We’ve visited 3 times!

The most amazing stay!
This is one of my all-time favorite places to stay -- ever! Super clean, peaceful, and kind. I truly can't rave enough about Ravenhill. Olive and Roger are the sweetest, most accommodating, lovely people I've met. Food is fantastic, close to easy transport into the city, and the neighborhood felt safe. Genuinely can't wait for my next trip to Belfast just so I can stay here again!

Incredible Accommodations
Couldn’t be any more pleased with the overall accommodations! My wife and I travel frequently and we both would rate in Ravenhill House as one of the top locations we’ve stayed. Every need was met and there were oh so many went special amenities that only an experienced, attentive and caring host would think of. Can’t wait to get back to Belfast, and stay again!
