We have three 5 Star Self-Catering properties located in the grounds of a Grade II Listed Georgian residence overlooking Belfast Lough and our guests have private access to the promenade along the shore.

There is ample dining space inside the property or guests can have access to a 'magical' pebble garden with pond which has a large slate table and seating. Access is across a private driveway beside May Lodge.

Easy access to Belfast City Centre (10 minutes by car or approximately 18 minutes by bus); Odyssey Arena (8 minutes); Titanic Exhibition (8 minutes); Waterfront Hall (8 minutes). Public transport - both bus and train within minutes of the property - with a ​direct link to the ​ city centre.

May Lodge has particular sentimental value to the owner who named it after his Mother and coincidentally it was completed in May also.

About the host

Hosted by Abigail White

Host profile image
We have been in the self-catering market in Belfast for 20 years and have many returning visitors. We live in the main residence which is a Grade II Listed Georgian house so are always on hand if we are needed.

Why they chose this property

May Lodge is very special as the proprietor designed and built this himself to replace the original gate lodge to the main residence. He named it after his mother.

What makes this property unique

We have public transport - both bus and train - within minutes of the property and this links with main train station and directly into Belfast city centre. We are half a mile from the end of the M2/M5 Motorway which links the whole of Northern Ireland. The lively and trendy Whiteabbey Village is only a short stroll along the shores of Belfast Lough and it has many cafes, restaurants, beauty salons and hairdressers.
