Two night Belfast stay
Good location, lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast. Two night stay in November 2024. Our first night was in a room in the annexe near the car park, a road and the railway line. Too noisy for me so we requested a room change which was done very professionally and efficiently. We had a good night's sleep on our second night. After I returned home I emailed the manager and I was happy with her response.

I stayed here will you?
Breakfasts were tasty and the workers in the dining area were plesent and attentive.
At the front desk we were greeted warmly and had a nice couple of conversations about or trip and got some helpful tips on what to see.
The room we stayed in had recently been refurbished and was well kitted out with a fridge, safe and kettle. The hotel is in a quite area so great for a nights restful sleep.

Not for us
Nice hotel but a bit far off the beaten track for us. Advertised as parking available but omg are the spaces tight and awkward to manoeuvre into.
Plus points - spotless, spacious, great tasty breakfast.
I missed not having a lobby or bar.

We traveled all of Ireland and stayed in fancy hotels but this one was the best. Very cozy and staff were extremely helpful. Best place to eat in all of Ireland was Darcy’s just a few minute walk from this place. Will definitely visit again when we go back.

The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, which gave Tara Lodge the personal touch that sets it apart from the 'big box' hotels. They even set up a very early breakfast just for us when we had to catch an early bus. All-in-all, a wonderful experience!

Nice spacious room. Great breakfast. Attentive staff. Bed was more like queen size than king but fine other than that. Poor ventilation in bathroom unless you open the window. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again

Only Place in Belfast
The staff were very helpful, especially when we had a problem with phoning our next accommodation. The location could not be better for a Belfast stay. The room was wonderful, and the breakfast was first class. I have already recommended this hotel to a Facebook group member.
