I just returned from a 5-day stay at Roseleigh House in Belfast. I've stayed at many B & B's in Europe. Roseleigh House is definitely among the best of them. The place is located in a very nice, quiet residential section of Belfast, not far from the City Center (that's downtown for us Americans). It is conveniently located just around the corner from the bus stop, and all the cabbies know where it is. The minute you see the place, you know you're in for a treat. The place is immaculate, and tastefully decorated, from the nice garden in the yard, to the homey decor in the foyer and rooms. The bedrooms are kept sparkling clean by maids who straighten everything up for you every morning, right after you leave for your day's activities. Helen Hunter, the proprieter, is a friendly, helpful lady who goes out of her way to make your stay plaeasant. Because I am involved in an organisation that works to promote peace in Northern Ireland, I have many friends in Belfast. Throughout the week, I was constantly recieving calls and visits from these folks. Helen fielded all my calls, never missing one. Every day I would return to find several messages waiting for me. I know this should be standard for every B & B, but I had an unusually large number of calls. Many times, I would be on the phone in the hall, and Helen would appear with a portable phone with yet another caller on the line. She always had a smile on her face, and seemed glad to provide such personalized service. She knows Belfast very well, and can tell you how to get wherever you want to go. She'll be glad make reservations for you, or recommend a good restaurant. In fact, all the employees there are very friendly and top-notch. The breakfast room is bright and cozy, and the selection of breakfast foods is the largest I've ever seen at a B & B. You get your choice of several breakfasts,from the standard (and huge) Ulster Fry, to French Toast, or Scrambled Eggs flecked with Salmon (yummy!). You can also get yogurt, fresh fruit, or granfast choices is placed on your bed. You simply check off what you want, and leave the card on the desk. The next morning, your breakfast is served to you promptly. The place is so homey. Whenever I returned at night, I really felt I was retuning home, rather than to a hotel room. Yo can spend more, I'm sure, but I don't think you can get a better B & B experience than Roseleigh House. Very good value for the money.
