Having scoured TripAdvisor for hours in search of a comfortable and decently priced accommodation, I eventually chose Roseleigh House. Upon my short stay there, I realized that as an accommodation of repute on TripAdvisor, Roseleigh House does not live up to its reputation.

The only positive aspect of this Bed and Breakfast is Donna’s cordiality. She seemed caring and hospitable. While its website is professionally designed, such professionalism is not applied to the maintenance and housekeeping of this accommodation. The website promises coffee and scone upon arrival. All I got was an electric kettle in my room with teabags, instant coffee, and stale cookies.

Furthermore, the room reeked of an intolerable stench, that of old rotten pet food. To mask the smell, I sprayed perfume on the bed sheets and pillows. My efforts were to no avail. Fooled by the breakfast menu published on the website, throughout my trip in Ireland I was looking forward to having breakfast at Roseleigh House. To my disappointment, the breakfast was very ordinary.

In an effort to figure out why Roseleigh House is exalted as the highest ranking Bed and Breakfast on TripAdvisor, I noticed that only four people have so far written reviews. Once a few more comments are posted on TripAdvisor, this accommodation will get the ranking it merits.

The Bed and Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Donna was the perfect hostess. We were pleasantly surprised by the beauty and detail of the decorating. The breakfasts were the best we had in Ireland. Donna even gave me a package of potato bread to take home. The location was great; residential and homey. There is a place to park your car and it is easy to find your way around the neighborhood. It is a one-of-a-kind, must stay B&B. Thank you Donna.

With a warm welcome from Donna, you are shown a clean room with cozy beds and welcomed with a gorgeous breakfast in the morning. Donna provides a list of breakfast treats available and you choose the time of morning. She goes above and beyond the duties of hostess. My Mother and I were unable to get a taxi to the train station and Donna drove us to the station to make sure we made our connection. Lovely attention to detail in the sitting and diningroom and conveniently located to downtown and a local shopping mall. Thank you, Donna!

My daughter and I recently spent one short night at Roseleigh House in Belfast. It was short but sweet. This bed and breakfast was one of the nicest we stayed in in the three weeks we were in the UK. The decor was really just lovely. Breakfasat was one of the better we had in our three weeks and there was a nice area for us to park our rental car. It was located just a short distance from the city center... not hard to find. We would have liked to have stayed longer. Glenda and Ginger Pogue
