I first visited in 1971 as a child. Since then I’ve visited the museum over 20 times. I always see and learn something new. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and knowledgeable. We pick a nice day and walk the full park, thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet especially in the rural sections. A special place.

Great day out. From the moment we arrived, the staff and volunteers were friendly, knowledgeable and clearly enjoying themselves as much as the rest of us. The doctor was a particular favourite. He brought the role of the local doctor to life. Just a shame we couldn't transport him to our local surgery. The sweet shop brought back many a memory. A very informative and instructive discussion on weaving and the important role of looms in the community. The local hostelry was worth a visit for the history of the building and a glass of the black stuff. Really interesting buildings, steeped in history. Gentle walks around the park to see the cottages and farm buildings. You could easily spend the entire day there. The gift shop had an array of gifts on offer, at prices to suit most pockets. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend the park and visit again if we were in the area.

Lots to see with original and replica farm and town houses relating to life in Ulster throughout the years. Quite a lot of walking involved and occasional farm animals. Children and adults will enjoy seeing what life was like in the past. Occasional friendly farm animal too. Pigs were popular.

thank you to all the staff today. I really enjoyed my visit with my parents and sister. It felt so refreshing so unplug and step back in time. I’d like to especially thank the doctor who was fantastic. He stayed in character the entire time and made things feel so real. He is a real asset and made the visit completely. Please pass my thanks onto him, my entire family were really impressed. It would be great to see more like him in those traditional roles.

I love the shops and Dr.’s Martin Clinic ❤️ the experience is like time travel way back 100 yrs ago. Dr. Martin was so accomodating Doctor. He was so nice and entertaining. He really suit with his role talking and acting like a real Doctor way back 1900. When u get there better focus on the first village its far better than the following houses. I will return there and explore more the first village. Thankyou!!!

We spent a wonderful day at the museum and still felt that six hours weren’t enough to see everything. It truly feels like stepping back in time — the houses and interiors are beautifully crafted and full of intricate details. We spoke with around eight interpreters representing various historical professions, such as a doctor and a blacksmith, and each conversation was both fascinating and fun. The entry fee offers excellent value, and there’s even a discount if you arrive by public transport. An absolute must-see when in Belfast!

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Very much a working history museum with regular demonstrations. Cafe reasonably priced. The only gripe being not checking all toilets have soap before opening for the day.

Good place to walk the dog. Plenty of beach when the tide is out. Lots of open green areas to get a good run. A decent park for kids. Couple of coffee/tea/ice cream places as well.

Lovely beach to walk along. If you fancy a long walk, you can follow it all the way to Bangor. Playpark is there for the kids to enjoy, but of late, it seems it's undergoing some development and so is unavailable. It is a very popular location for all. Kids, adults, dog walkers, picnic goers, exercise enthusiasts etc

Fantastic wee park! First time coming here the other day, and the wee man absolutely loves it here. The equipment is all in really good condition and mostly made from wood, which is great. It's just a 1min walk down to the beach too. There were a few coffee vans and an ice cream van so we could get our caffeine fix. Hope it stays a nice park.

The playground refurb (2025) is lovely but the area leaves a lot to be desired especially in peak summer. Bins not emptied rubbish everywhere and so wasps and bugs everywhere. Play park was rammed the day we went (summer hols) and has 2 points of entry/egress making it hard to keep kids secure.

Beautiful grassed area beside a sandy beach on Belfast Lough. It's got a children's play area, carpark, a coffee van and ice-cream van. The North Down Coastal Path passes through it. It's the ideal spot for a family day out, not far from Holywood and Marino train station.

Nice views. Crisp fresh sea breeze Too many dogs. People need to pick up after their dogs. Nice plat area for kids. Free parking. Lovely walking path. Sandy beach in places. Nice for a stroll.

Great new park coffee and ice cream van on site. Quite a few parking spaces can be very busy at times! Nice walk along the seafront too

Beautiful graveyard

A quick well deserve visit. It is free and if your soul into exploring why not.

Beautiful ancient Priory with Graveyard.

This is my home town and I love going back to it. Pity about the old priory Inn though.

It's a graveyard with an old church Most Irish people enjoy this

Great place to live Handy to town centre Railway and seapark

There is a great deal of history here

Super Golf course in great condition and wonderful Clubhouse and friendly staff. Well worth a visit

One of the top courses in N.I. The fairways were like carpet, and the greens were FAST! Fantastic coastal views, and the clubhouse was next level impressive. The people there were friendly and helpful. We had a caddy (Maxwel), that made the round enjoyable with his knowledge of the course.

Never disappoints. Fantastic course, out of this world club house and staff couldnt do enough for us. 16 of us played and stayed for dinner. All if us loved the experience. No 1.

Fantastic experience and ever helpful staff, special thanks to Tracey and the team. Great to catch up with the current PGA Andrew, thanks for the recommendation Andrew, the Guinness was great. Till next time

My second trip to Royal Belfast, and certainly not my last. This is the way all clubs should be run. The staff goes above and beyond. The clubhouse is outstanding. The service in the bar is unsurpassed. The course is in stellar shape. The greens are impeccable. The pro shop prices are more than fair. I've played many premier courses around the globe, but the combination of condition, playability, and service at Royal Belfast really can't be touched. Lots of places might have one aspect or another, but all told, this is right at the top of my list. Thanks to Dan and the entire staff. It was a real pleasure.

The golf course is beautiful, challenging and in wonderful condition, the clubhouse grand and immaculate and the restaurant homely with great views. But above everything else is the warmth and hospitality of the staff. We visited from South Africa and were treated like members for the day, with everyone from staff to members going out of their way to welcome us. Can't recommend it enough!

What an amazing golf course. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed everything about the golf club. We had a cracking day and the course exceeded expectations. The greens were true and fast which definitely caught us out a fair few times but a great challenge and great fun. No doubt we will return again in the future! Thank you!

Warm and friendly atmosphere with excellent and caring service. We had the gluten free fish and chips along with the gluten free sticky toffee pudding! It was absolutely delicious! Thank you for your attentiveness, hospitality and outstanding food!

Family took me for birthday dinner, I had never heard of this place, anyway we all had a wonderful evening great staff and the food was plentiful and top notch , I had the chicken stacker best ever and it’s one of my favourites, the Moules marinière sauce was just the best drinkable 😜 The fried hake excellent, even the humble fish and chips not greasy just perfectly cooked Lovely cocktails the rhubarb and vanilla bramble type was one of those you could drink gallons without thinking ! Would definitely go back

Popped in on the off chance for a table for four, as it looked quite busy. We were greeted by a warm friendly guy who took us upstairs to our table. One of us had gluten intolerance and she was advised of the options available (which were great) we all had different meals and drinks and everything was perfect. The staff were really lovely, food was delicious and we all had a great time.

Friendly, helpful, understanding and engaging team at the Coast. First time lunch visit for 4 adults and one 2year old. We were made to feel comfortable from the second we walked in. The food was of high quality and tasty with good portions for lunch at great price. Highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Really a fantastic experience. We booked for around 20 people following a christening and were seated upstairs at a big table, kind of tucked away which was perfect as the children could run around without causing too much of a disturbance! Having pre-ordered, the food was served very promptly and everyone commented on how delicious it all was. I think usually with big groups some things are forgotten, some things have cooled down too much etc but it was all perfect. The service as well was brilliant with a special mention to Jackie who was taking care of us and was so attentive. We live locally so we know how good it is but I was pleasantly surprised that even with a big group the usual high standards were still there

Such a lovely, friendly, warm, and welcoming restaurant. Stevie one of the staff members, made our night flow without any problems. Very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious.We will be back

Great night out last night. Food was very good and the menu varied. Shout out to the chap who booked a taxi for us and then came out in the rain to keep us updated on igs progress. You can't get better customer service than that.

The food was great! Ambience was cosy and warm, and they are dog friendly at the bar area. Service was friendly but took rather too long. We waited about half an hour for drinks orders, and a further 50mins for our dinner to arrive. The buffalo wings were great, as was the butternut squash soup and chicken curry.

Its that good, not only the food but also the staff / Chefs that we have been going every night whilst staying at the hotel (6 nights). Excellent menu with quality food choices which are very well sourced. A great place to eat. Worth the visit all the way from Plymouth in Devon !!

I came with family to watch the British & Irish Lions rugby match versus Australia (1st Test). The Guinness was poured with skill and care. It’s a very warm and welcoming pub. People had their dogs with them and I loved seeing the pet friendly environment in action. You cannot beat the location, and the views outside are fabulous.

Spent the evening after our wedding in here and it was one of the nicest meals we have had in a long time ( apart from our wedding food in the culloden but that's not an everyday meal). Got some cocktails which were the right amount of flavour but without a strong alcohol taste. The starters were great ( Pork belly & chicken wings ) then the fish & chips was nicely battered and had a nice flavour without being too greasy. Will be back at another point as the food was great and so were the staff.

My sister-in-law and I treated our 11 year old niece to a birthday lunch followed by a spa treatment and we had a wonderful meal. The portions were perfectly sized and the food delicious. The kids menu was great with our niece opting for the sausage and mash. The staff were friendly and helpful and, although we didn’t have one with us, it was wonderful to see dogs were allowed into the bar. Will definitely be back!

The goats cheese salad for starter was amazing. The chef's special, beef just melted in the mouth and remember to leave some space for the dessert menu equally delicious

Very disappointing visit. Our first time at Cultra inn, we had a voucher for Hastings and decided to use it due to location handiness. Our waiter was nice but seemed very new to the role, after we got our drinks we were waiting for a long while to get our food, seeing people who got sat after us receive their starters and mains before us. We both got chicken dishes and we were disappointed with the quality of both dishes. Chicken was so beyond dry it seemed like it was left out under a heat lamp for ages, which would explain the long wait for the food. We were planning to politely say to the waiter but no one came over to check on us until we were very much ‘finish’ with our food. When the waiter finally came he didn’t ask us anything, just took the plates and left. We didn’t want to risk dessert and as we got up to find someone to take our payment, we were met with a 10% charge for service, which was honestly a joke at this point. After issues with paying a portion of the bill with the voucher, we ended up paying just over £70 for a dinner that required us to stop in Tesco on way home and get better food. Definitely a first and last visit.
