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!

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.

We walked down the street to the Botanical Gardens and through Queens University campus. Pleasant walk, lots of students around but it was a quiet neighbourhood. We were able to park at the hotel so that was convenient. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable bed. Staff was friendly and happy to recommend local attractions and give directions. We also were able to borrow hotel umbrellas for our walkabout. Breakfast was great - lots to choose from on the menu (the power porridge was amazing) and serving staff were great. We were tired after travelling up from Dublin and doing touring at Tara and the Titanic Experience so our dinner just needed to be simple, so we chose to pick up subs at Subway down the street but we also stopped for tea at the Caffe Nero which was nice too. Had a good sleep and we headed up the Coastal highway towards the north (recommend!) the next morning. We would stay at the Tara Lodge again.
