Rayanne House

Top choice in Belfast


Just 100m from Holywood Golf Club, this gorgeous 1883 manor house has exquisite rooms – some with balconies and views of Belfast Lough – including a Rory McIlroy–themed room with a shower rail made from an engraved club. Its restaurant (open to nonguests) hosts regular nine-course Titanic menus (£69), replicating the last 1st-class meal served aboard.
