From the moment we arrived until the day we left, our stay at Manse on the Beach was nothing short of perfect. It genuinely felt like a home away from home. The location is beautiful, the room was spotless and so comfortable, the bed was one of the best we’ve ever slept in, and the breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious.

The staff made such a lasting impression on us. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and welcoming, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. They even treated our dog like royalty, making such a fuss of her and ensuring she felt just as welcome as we did. As dog owners, that meant so much to us.

It’s rare to find somewhere that gets absolutely everything right, but Manse on the Beach really does. We left already talking about when we can come back. We honestly couldn’t recommend it more highly thank you for making our stay so special.

This was our first time visiting the Ards Peninsula area. Spent 1 night in this lovely property. Very comfortable room overlooking the beach. Our host Brian was there to welcome us and could not have been more helpful. We ate at a nearby restaurant as recommended by him and were not disappointed. Breakfast was excellent and served by Brian's wife Sarah. This place is worth a visit and we hope to return in the not too distant future.

The property itself is very nice, spotless, and feels luxurious throughout. Everything is extremely well maintained, including the rooms, beds, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. It is also dog-friendly, which was a big plus. The location is excellent, with a lovely beach view and easy access for walks, including taking a dog out, making it a very pleasant place to stay overall.

However, some aspects of the hosting experience felt uncomfortable and inconsistent. There was an undertone that the owner was unhappy that I had booked early at a lower price. I was told a dog bed would be brought to the room, but this never happened. On arrival, the first interaction focused on what I do for work and why I was staying, which felt unnecessary.

I was given a breakfast selection sheet, but when I chose the full fry option, the owner pointed to and explained in detail the most basic breakfast on the printout, while the fry option was only lightly ticked and not mentioned unless I specifically asked about it. I ultimately did not have breakfast as I left early the next morning.

There was also inconsistency around dinner. I was told dinner was not provided at the property, despite it being offered to other guests. An alternative dinner at another location was suggested and repeatedly encouraged, but when I declined, the response felt noticeably negative.

There are only five rooms, and I received multiple emails shortly before arrival asking me to reconfirm the booking. This gave the impres

Manse in the Beach is the perfect getaway. Just opposite a lovely beach which my dog and I had to ourselves. From arriving I felt right at home, the accomodation is beautiful and Sarah & Brian are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. I had poached eggs bacon & sourdough bread just yum . I was lucky enough to coincide my stay with a Thai night on the Saturday and the food was delicious, great variety of freshly cooked dishes all beautifully presented. Everything about Manse on the beach is perfect. Location, cleanliness and the hospitality. Well worth a visit 🙂

What a hidden gem situated in a quiet, picturesque location. Exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished, well equipped and the private sauna and jacuzzi was a lovely touch. Powerful hairdryer, massive comfortable bed and Netflix on TV in room and lounge area were also appreciated. The breakfast was delicious with an excellent selection; fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, and a choice of cooked options. Lovely garden area to relax in and a beach just across from the property. The host Brian was very helpful and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay and hope to return.

We had a great time staying in Manse On The Beach. The place is very clean and super cosy. We had a choice of cooked breakfast options and the staff were very accommodating. The sauna and jacuzzi are a real delight!
The only con was the bed in our room. It needs an upgrade. Either the bed or the mattress makes awfully sqweeky sound even when turning.

A big treat.

A hidden gem in beautiful countryside with the beach on your doorstep. We were greeted by the lovely Rachel, who showed us around. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She immediately made us feel welcome and provided us with her lovely sense of humour. This gorgeous bijou B+B boasts a jacuzzi and steam room in a vast garden,that you can book for private use. Very comfortable surroundings and a lovely room with deliciously smelling skin products to use. The owners, Brian and Cora are very friendly and accomodating and one of their dogs,the big fluffy Oscar, was just a pet. . We would definitely come back. 😀
