Stayed at the Ballymac whilst working in Belfast and it is a little gem . The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and everything you could need. Rooms spotlessly clean and great food in the bar with very friendly staff. Will definitely be booking up again

Very nice rural pub / hotel. Clean, comfy, quiet, spacious room. My only complaint was that the cooked breakfast didn't start until 9am on the Thursday morning so I left with only a Pain au Chocolat. Would happily stay again though

Beautiful property on the outskirts of Belfast. View of sheep in a field behind the hotel. Will take you approximately 20mins in a car to get into the city. Very clean and rooms seem to have been recently updated.

Solo business traveller - female

Have used this hotel twice now since January. Competitively priced. Quiet area. Free Parking. Rooms are great and immaculately cleaned with all facilities. Very good service from staff, friendly and great food. Relaxing bar/restaurant/lounge area. Breakfast is continental until 9am so just bear this in mind as the full works comes on line shortly after

Very comfortable stay

The Ballymac is a lovely hotel in a quiet, rural location. The room was very comfortable and clean. It was very warm though, even when I tried to turn down the heater. The staff were very polite and attentive. However, they were absent at times at the reception. Not a huge issue except if you need to speak to someone about getting a table at the restaurant for instance. The food in the restaurant was quite exceptional and prices were fair. Food arrived promptly when ordered and it tasted great! My biggest negative point was having to wait until after 9am to get a cooked breakfast. Before 9am is continental only. Will book again.

Fabulous!!

Very comfortable room with a lovely big bathroom with shower. Place was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfy. Slept very well, and then had a delicious breakfast the next morning. Staff were fabulous - so friendly and helpful, couldn't do enough to ensure everyone had a fantastic stay. First time sraying here, and will definitely be back!!
