We recently had the pleasure of spending 2 nights in the Shelleven in Bangor, Co Down when we attended a family event in Belfast. The Shelleven is a beautiful house within a few minutes walk from Bangor's beautiful sea front. The owners, Mary and Phillip Weston, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our bedroom was very clean, cozy... more

Upon arrival we were greeted with a cold reception both from the owner and the actual central heating system. Expected hotel to be warm given the fact that it was the middle of winter but it was probably warmer outside. Rooms: We had booked a double room via telephone only to arrive to a twin room. We were told that... more

We are a family of 4 from S Africa. Our family room was beautifully arranged with enough space to move around the room (considering there was 1 double bed and 2 single beds). The bathroom was beautifully decorated and a good size. The breakfast was outstanding. Eveything was clean, fresh and white bath towels were a decent size. Thank you... more

There was a good selection to choose from at breakfast and the food was well cooked and served promptly. There was certainly plenty of it. The hotel overlooks the bay and the walk into town is a... more

My fiancé and I arrived in Bangor on December 29, 2007 by train (from Belfast) and wanted to spend one night there. Most of the hotels and B&B's were full (or closed). Finally we were recommended the Shelleven Guest House and we had a wonderful time!! Our room was spacious, nicely decorated with a big en-suite bathroom. The view was... more
