View All HotelsHotels with Breakfast Included in Holywood — What to Expect
Just across the Belfast Lough from the capital, Holywood offers a quieter, greener alternative with a charming seafront and easy city access. The main draw is its beautiful coastal path, perfect for a stroll with views of the marina and towards the Antrim hills. The town centre, centred around High Street, is known for its independent shops and cafes, and a round of golf at the historic Royal Belfast Golf Club is a classic local pursuit. It’s a place where you can enjoy a relaxed pace without being cut off from urban energy.
This town is ideal for couples or families looking for a peaceful base, as well as business travellers seeking a calmer evening after meetings in Belfast. Staying near the seafront or the town centre puts everything within walking distance. Transport links are excellent, with a frequent train service from Holywood railway station reaching Belfast Central in under 15 minutes, and the George Best Belfast City Airport is literally just next door.
Accommodation here is dominated by comfortable guesthouses and a selection of solid, mid-range hotels. For example, the Rayanne House Hotel on High Street offers convenient, well-regarded lodgings right in the heart of the action. You’ll find a good range of friendly B&Bs and serviced apartments that provide a genuine local feel.
