Rayanne House

We were booking a trip to see family in Holywood. Being familiar with the area, we tried to book Rayanne House. Phoned, spoke to the receptionist who informed me that they’re fully booked for the next while because they’re housing refugees from the Channel. When micro-businesses behave in this fashion, I’m always astounded. We weren’t told when the B&B would re-open, offered an apology or any sort of rectifying advice. I’ll never stay in this B&B. We were able to get booked into the Culloden, which offers a superior product at competitive rates.

Booked for the night of a family wedding in June. They phoned to cancel the booking today because they received a block booking with not a word of apology or alternative offered when finding reasonably priced accommodation for that date was already difficult enough.

This is a really superb Guest House in a beautiful part of Northern Ireland. The building is iconic, the staff superb, and the food excellent. I visited with a group of friends as we were attending a function locally. I have taken a note of Rayanne House as a place to which to return for a longer visit.

We stayed for a few nights, our first trip away for 2 years. We’ve stayed here many times before and as always service was excellent, food was excellent. We were given the disabled room giving me much needed accessibility. Lovely few days away.

Nice little guest house, some lovely views and nice and close to the town so can walk down and back if you wanted to eat somewhere else one night. We were at a small wedding, it was an enjoyable day, and the rooms are clean and decorated to show the character of the building.

Just be aware of the spiders! We had quite the 8-legged visitor in one of our bathrooms. Breakfast was wonderful, more upscale than what we were used to. Lovely views if rooming on the front of the house.

Booked this for two nights for a classy hen party. Bernie was incredibly helpful from initial booking, flexibility and suggestions. The price was very fair for us all and transparent throughout. They were very responsive to emails and phone calls and excellent communication throughout. We arrived and were warmly welcomed. Our rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We had drinks in one of the main rooms, and the team went out of their way to help us set up media. We then moved into the dining room for a 9 course replica meal of the Titanic's first class last meal. It was delicious! The setting was perfect and the sound proofing meant we felt comfortable enjoying ourselves without disturbing other guests. The staff really helped us with everything and we continued our festivities in another of the main lounges. The next day we went into Belfast, which was a short drive by taxi. Rayanne House were great at recommending we booked a taxi home ahead of time, as they are tricky to get

Short amble up the hill for an amazing unpretentious, homely tasting menu with friendly service and food that was simply out of this world! Flexible for dietary needs of the party and excellent wine pairings. Reasonable priced. Highly recommend.

My partner and i stayed here for two nights and loved every minute of it . We adored the exceptional breakfast, each morning and found all the staff to be highly efficient and warm and friendly . Our room was on the top floor and we enjoyed a fantastic view across the lough . The room was so spacious and quiet and elegantly furnished . We were very impressed with Bernie and Conor ‘s help , when our car had an unexpected technical problem and Conor put us in touch with a local mechanic, who was so helpful and accommodating . We will definitely be staying in this lovely home again . Thank You .
