The best accommodations Northern Ireland

Overlooking Downhill Beach and Magilligan, halfway up the cliffs, this inn is an excellent place, although out of the way since you can't buy groceries at Downhill, to enjoy the beach (on which some scenes of the very popular Game of Thrones series were filmed) and to visit the area. This restored Victorian house is comfortable with a fireplace, kitchen, laundry room... An extensive garden overlooks a small stream and the sea can be seen in the distance. A pottery workshop offers initiations, assembly and decoration.

With an excellent location just a stone's throw from City Hall, this simple and well-equipped Travelodge is an interesting option in Belfast.

Personalities such as Bono, Moby, Duran Duran, or Shirley Mclaine are not mistaken, nor are the actors filming on Belfast who stay there. Each room is different and offers a beautiful view.
