Shelleven House is a lovely Victorian building and the owners Sue & Paul are lovely hosts. Breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh as ordered. Good base for travelling around the coastal route and handy for trains to Belfast and surrounding areas. We would go back there in a heartbeat.

Bangor's Best

We highly recommend Shelleven. It is quiet, comfortable, well-equipped, and has a great location so that one may walk to most of Bangor's excellent eateries. Sue's breakfast is legendary - or if it's not, it should be - and she and her staff are very friendly and welcoming.

The property which was immaculate was lovely with comfortable beds. The host's were friendly and helpful, Sue is especially lovely. There were lovely little personal touches that made it very homely. There is a lovely reading room where they serve drinks including alcohol for use of yourself or if you have guests visiting you which is allowed until 10:00p.m and the breakfast is excellent with beautiful presentation. We are going to stay again and walk the Costal Path. Thanks Paul and Sue Xx

Very nice welcoming with great info. Also great location, very close to nice restaurants. The breakfast was outstanding. Big room with a big bathroom the decoration a bit outdated and could hear every step from the people above. But it was a quiet place with families as guests.

The property is well maintained with attractive bedrooms and I found Sue (the owner) to be very helpful, informative and welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful with a good selection of cereals and yogurts. Value for money was excellent. It has to be said though, that the property is old and, being converted (rather than purpose built), there are constraints on how comfortable the rooms can be. Ours was very hot during the (admittedly uncharacteristic!) heatwave with no way of cooling it down. One of the windows was low and unopenable. As it is a guest house, we could not expect the owners to be available at all times- so the property was not staffed during the evenings, nor did we feel it would be reasonable to ask for a fan or to change our room. The bathroom had a good shower with a flexible hose (one of my particular preferences). However the sink was very low and not very big so quite tricky for my husband to shave there. The television was baffling! The manual for it was left in a drawer, but it was really challenging just to get to choose a normal channel each time it was switched on. BBC I player and Channel 4 on demand could not be accessed. This was disappointing since we wanted to follow the cricket test match highlights. It seems petty to complain, but it did spoil our evenings a bit. There is ample car parking and the location is quite good, being close to the sea and not far from Bangor town centre or station which we visited on foot sometimes.
