Manse on the Beach

A little slice of heaven. Leave your window open and you don't need to play wave sounds to get you to sleep. The waves and sounds are real just outside. Very clean, well equipped rooms and the owners can't do enough. If you need a few days to shut out the world, then escape to The Manse on the Beach.

This place is a real hidden gem, the team here are amazing. The bedroom and breakfast are first class, right across the road from the beach. We will return in the near future, thanks to all the team for a lovely stay. Close to a lovely little village called Portaferry where we are at the portaferry hotel which was also very nice.

An absolute haven on the Ards peninsula. This is a perfect adults only getaway. Brian is the perfect host and the guesthouse has so many beautiful touches. Coffee machines in each bedroom, and lovely white robes should you choose to use the beautiful spa area in the garden, with jacuzzi bath and sauna. The large, cosy communal room, complete with wood burner and a selection of beautiful books, is perfect to relax in. There is even a little fridge so you can keep a chilled beverage of choice to hand. The breakfast served by a very welcoming Rachel, was truly delicious, a good choice of hot dishes with the finest ingredients, as well as fresh fruit, local yoghurt, cereals, fresh orange juice and freshly brewed coffee. We will definitely be back.

This was our first visit but will certainly not be our last. It is an absolute jewel. The venue and decor are tasteful and stylish. Service could not have been better… Rachel was very attentive and gave good advice. We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco on the house in the reception area, then taken to our table in the stylish bistro restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere and full. Not surprising when we sampled the outstanding food. All our three courses were delightful. Meals are pre-ordered, which gives customers time to consider and choose before the night. We had a wonderful experience and most certainly will be back during our next visit to Cloughey in October. We shall book early as I suspect this gem will be very sought after for a special evening out Sheelagh & Mike Tickell

Visited for breakfast on a Sunday morning with 2 friends. We were warmly welcomed by Brian at the door and shown to a lovely table in the sunroom overlooking the tranquil garden. Peaceful and relaxing. We all enjoyed beautiful tasty breakfast with hot coffee and orange juice. Couldn’t stayed all day. The garden is kept beautiful.

This is an absolute gem. My husband and I (and our dog) spent 2 nights here and everything was first class. Our room was so comfortable and had the nicest view onto the beach. Breakfast was delicious and we had dinner at the bistro on the Friday night. This was nothing short of superb. We had some treatments with Sarah which were also fab. A special word of thanks to Mark and Dawn for being the nicest hosts. We can not wait to return.
