A great place to stay. there is no elevator. If you have mobility issues it could be a problem. The beds are 54”. Could be bigger There is a wonderful living room/parlour and hosts are most welcoming and informative. They did laundry for us at a reasonable cost. It was easy to walk to great pubs and restaurants. Parking on site was excellent. We highly recommend this place

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.

A great location for a Bangor Stay

A lovely stay, a warm welcome and smooth checkin. An extensive breakfast menu. I had a freshly prepared Ulster Fry and a very tasty omelette in the end ..... it was tricky to choose! We were weekend stayers, so being so close to the shore and it's wonderful coastal path as well as it being only a short stroll into Bangor for the best bars with wonderful live music. Perfect
