Travel Notes
Clandeboye Lodge is a place apart. Only a few miles from Belfast but fully immersed in the tranquillity of nature. Surrounding the hotel are glens, forests, rivers, paths, meadows and great golf courses, all ready to be explored. Gentle walks to refresh the body and restore the soul.
So much to see. Close by is the ancient Bangor Abbey and St. Patrick's Trail; Helen’s Tower, the picturesque villages of Helen’s Bay and Crawfordsburn and the unique flora and fauna of the wonderful Ards peninsula and Strangford Lough. Hidden gems.
Of course, you are close to city life too with Belfast’s bars, restaurants and tourist attractions as well as the vibrant cultural life of Bangor and North Down. But first and foremost, this is a place for lovers of the outdoors. The freshest of air, the gentlest of paces, the quietest of times and always returning to the serene luxury of Clandeboye Lodge for a drink, a rest and the finest of local food.
Relax and reconnect.
