The 30 Best Pets in Belfast

“Absolutely pristine and delightful. A MUST book. My sister and I came for just a night and the host was lovely. The walk way was candle lit. She made us tea upon arrival, complete with shortbread and treats. Everything was 5 star hotel standards from the smallest detail like the heated towel rack, to the extravagant breakfast. It's all the charm of a B&B with the privacy and perfection of a hotel. Breakfast was incredible. I am a part time vegan, full time vegetarian and my sister is paleo so we can be picky. But, the host customized the menu items for us. The view from the breakfast table is rolling hills with charming cottages. Everything was locally sourced - the Rhubarb jam from the garden (incredible!) the yogurt from local jersey cows, etc. This B&B was the highlight of our entire Ireland and N. Ireland trip. We cannot recommend this more. We're telling our friends and family. So grateful for this hidden gem, we certainly hope to return!”

“Just returned from a wonderful break at The Rocks and would highly recommend. Noel & Cathy are the perfect hosts, friendly, warm and very knowledgeable about the whole area. The breakfasts were nothing short of perfect, keeping us satisfied until late afternoon. And the room was beautiful, comfortable, clean & quiet. We would definitely return. Thank you both for your excellent hospitality!”

“Had our staff Lola operated on 10 weeks ago where she had her TPLO surgery,I must say she is doing really well and I can't recommend Dan and his team enough,they were amazing ,and the aftercare via the pet smart app has been superb. Thank you everyone at Flynn Vets.”

“Vets Rehab NI has been brilliant for my chocolate lab, who has hip dysplasia. The hydrotherapy has really helped his movement, and he absolutely loves it! We have been going for years and couldn't recommend them enough! The team are great, professional and really care.”

“This was my 1st visit to Affinity with my daschund Heidi. She is such a nervous & anxious wee dog. Her treatment by Rebecca was exceptional, she even got down on the floor to be at Heidi's level & talked her out from under the chair lol. Mind you Heidi does not like the collar, but needs must. Looking forward to her next appt in 2wks.”

“I was very happy to leave our cat here for almost a week. Judy keeps the place very clean and clearly cares for the animals. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Leanne is the most welcoming host, a true cat lover. Wouldn't take my cat anywhere else. Cats are spoilt during their stay”

“Carla and her team are fantastic. We're very fortunate to have such a caring and professionally run kennel nearby.”

“We just left our 2 french bulldogs with Sally for a week and they had the best time.Sally was brilliant with the both of them and is such a lovely woman and brilliant the with dogs.We will recommend to anyone and will defently be leaving our dogs there any time.”

“We were so lucky to come upon these cottages while traveling in Northern Ireland. These cottages are in a beautiful setting and the owners were wonderful and very accomadating.”

“It’s been a while since I was able to get back to Biscuit Paws with Harley but it is as excellent as I remember! Victoria is very welcoming, asked about Harley’s coat & promised to give her a lovely cut. Harley came out looking like a pup again! She was delighted with her lovely light coat, just in time for the warm weather. Thank you Biscuit Paws!!”

“Thankyou Mark for being so gentle with Danny on his first groom, a very positive experience for him”

“Babs is wonderful with Fionn. He has been going to her since he was a puppy. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Highly recommend. Babs - 5 star lady and 5 star the Woofy Wash Company”

“Took our Yorkie Daisy to For Pup's Sake for the first time yesterday, and they did a great job on the groom. The girls were very friendly and Daisy came home in a great mood, so I think we've found our new go-to groomers!”

“Friendly staff and excellent location. The girls are fantastic with my cocker spaniel and I wouldn't take him anywhere else.”

“Wouldn't use any other shampoos on my dogs! As an owner of 8 rescues with different coats, different skin conditions and different tolerances to bathing Ted shearing shampoos are a game changer! They smell incredible but not overpowering, they rinse like a dream so bath time in cut in half and can be used on my seniors with skin sensitivity. Also as a doggy daycare/boarding business I love dogs to be dogs which include enjoying muddy puddles and beaches lol I feel so secure using ted shearing shampoos on them all cockapoos, retrieves, dachshunds, mixes of all coat types, their owners always compliment how incredible their pup smells and how soft their coat feels. Should be an essential in all doggy homes ❤️”

“Brilliant dog groomers! My dog has been nervous going into previous dog groomers but he bounds in here with no issue every time. JulieAnn really puts him at ease and he comes out looking and smelling fabulous. I've recommended this groomers to several of my friends and family.”

“Superb service.. quick and reliable.”

“Shilo in for 2nd groom and again excellent service for him. Magda very patient with him and he loves the attention , many thanks”

“Jeff at Advance Vets has been amazing with my cat who fractured his leg and needed surgery. Very reasonable pricing considering the work that was needed and follow up care and they were very supportive throughout the process”

“We called in for lunch at the weekend for the 1st time, the food was fantastic and the service was brilliant staff are very helpfull and just a really nice atmosphere”

“We stayed in the Jade room for 3 nights which was perfect for a family of 3. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast was great and filling - lots of choice. The location of this B&B is excellent. Thank you to the team at Walter's Place for making our stay so enjoyable.”

“Wow what a find ! As a regular visitor to Belfast, I won’t be looking anywhere else. A lovely location with a comfortable clean room coupled with an excellent breakfast to start the day! Thank you Tim for your hospitality!”

“Awesome venue with amazing staff. Was at my cousins wedding, but was late in getting my rsvp, so wasn't going to be having dinner. They were going to set an extra table for just us, but fitted us in, as some people didn't make it. They went out if their way to make us feel welcome”

“Olive and Roger are thoughtful, considerate and very pleasant hosts. The rooms are nicely thought out and equipped. Breakfast was very tasty! The road is semi-busy, particularly at rush hour and trucks go by in the early morning, so it's not as quiet as the neighborhood seems like it should be. But much quieter than in the city centre! Many eateries within a 10-minute walk. The walk into city center is straightforward.”

“Great location easy to find , easy to get to ferry terminal.”

“Received a very warm welcome, lovely hosts. Very clean and comfortable. Great sleep. Basic breakfast but well cooked. Nothing was too much trouble.”

“The rooms are spotless and pretty. The location is super convenient, very close to the airport but you don’t hear a single plane. Breakfast was delicious and everybody was so very kind. We had a mishap with our rental car company and Charles went out of his way to drive us to the airport and help us. Highly recommend staying here!”

“One of the most charming B&B, I've ever stayed in. Stanley, the owner, welcomed us when we arrived at night. He's a nice and lovely man with great tips on things to see in the area. The room was clean and the decoration was beautiful. We loved it so much that we booked another time. Really a great and quiet place to stay when in Ireland. Well situated too.”

“Amazing views and location. Immaculate and clean. Breakfast amazing and wonderful host called Jim. Slept so well and felt refreshed ready for the day. Highly recommend and my go to place when visiting again.”
