The Old Rectory Guesthouse Review

Mary and Jerry Callan's well-appointed south-Belfast house was built in 1896 as a Church of Ireland rectory. Some guest rooms are decorated in pastels, others in brighter colors and all have good views of the mountains. Breakfast is hearty but healthy, a rarity in Ulster B&Bs: there's smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit salad, dried fruit, grapefruit, vegetarian sausages, homemade low-sugar jams, wheat bread, freshly squeezed blended juices, and even whiskey marmalade. Visitors can relax throughout their stay in the drawing room and browse through a library of books on Ireland's history and culture. The suburban Metro bus stop is right outside.
