Fodor's Review:

Mary and Jerry Callan's well-appointed south-Belfast house was built in 1896 as a Church of Ireland rectory. Rooms are decorated in pastels and 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. Pros: beautifully prepared and presented breakfasts that will keep you fortified throughout the day and mean you can skip lunch; rooms could pass for suites. Cons: hard to find with no easy-to-read signs; no bar for those who like an evening tipple; breakfast times can be erratic—make sure you check, as it would be a shame to miss out.
