Somerton House

Beautifully decorated in period colours and dotted with antiques and curios, this grand old Edwardian townhouse is a real Belfast gem. Close to Cavehill, Belfast Castle and Belfast Zoo, and a 10-minute bus ride into the city centre, Somerton is ideal for couples who crave a bit of homely peace and quiet, with flatscreen TVs/DVDs, tea and coffee in all rooms, free computer use in guest lounge and house wifi. It's the right side of town for the Liverpool and Stena ferry terminals, not to mention the M2 motorway should you fancy a daytrip to the Giant's Causeway.
