I really enjoyed staying here. Property had an old fashion charm but had everything we needed. Our breakfast was wonderful and host was helpful and shared site seeing possibilities with us, and even put pamphlets in our room.
Dion, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Shelleven House is a lovely Victorian building and the owners Sue & Paul are lovely hosts. Breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh as ordered. Good base for travelling around the coastal route and handy for trains to Belfast and surrounding areas. We would go back there in a heartbeat.

Comfortable stay - recommended

Really comfortable stay in Bangor for a few days. Lovely room with views across the bay. Proximity to both the two and teh railway station was ideal.
Lindsay, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bangor's Best

We highly recommend Shelleven. It is quiet, comfortable, well-equipped, and has a great location so that one may walk to most of Bangor's excellent eateries. Sue's breakfast is legendary - or if it's not, it should be - and she and her staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Will, 2-night trip

The location is great, many food options, pubs, and things to see all within easy walking distance. There isn't a pull off for unloading and parking is not on site. Overall it is a great place to stay!

Bangor Stay

Fabulous find. Accommodations are immaculate. 5 minute walk into town. 10 minutes walk to catch the train into Belfast. Beautiful seaside promenade to walk along.
Chris, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property which was immaculate was lovely with comfortable beds. The host's were friendly and helpful, Sue is especially lovely. There were lovely little personal touches that made it very homely. There is a lovely reading room where they serve drinks including alcohol for use of yourself or if you have guests visiting you which is allowed until 10:00p.m and the breakfast is excellent with beautiful presentation. We are going to stay again and walk the Costal Path. Thanks Paul and Sue Xx

Shelleven House first-class!

My daughter and three granddaughters thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shelleven. Highly recommend this beautiful remodeled Victorian guest house just steps from the marina and beautiful Bangor waterfront. The owners are very friendly and personable. The service, from delicious breakfasts to room service is first class. Guest sitting & dining room tasteful decor and most comfortable. Bedrooms are beautiful with extremely comfortable beds. A lovely way to end our visit to Ireland.

Exceptional hosts, brilliant place to stay!

Paul and Sue at Shelleven House were exceptional hosts. Their guest house was a tranquil and comfortable place to stay, especially as a solo traveller. I felt safe and secure at all times. I particularly appreciated how they both remembered my name and would address me by name at breakfast and around the house. Breakfast was consistently brilliant, homely and filling. There was an option for every need! I will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
