The Manse is an exceptional experience both for it’s position and the care and attention to detail that it provides. This is a family business at the top of its game and outstanding value.

Great overnight stay
We loved the Manse on the Beach. The owners have clearly invested a lot of money to have a place of this high standard.
The breakfast was beautiful.
My wife is already planning another trip.

Perfect night away
What a great place to stay. Perfect location opposite the beach. Great host. Lovely breakfast . Spotlessly clean. Brilliant facilities. Had a jacuzzi bath and sauna which was great after a day out walking. Lovely garden with indoor fire pit and cosy seating . Definitely be back
Es war absolut wunderbar. Wir wurden sehr, sehr freundlich empfangen und während unseres Aufenthaltes bedient. Das Hotel ist sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet und unser Zimmer war sogar barrierefrei und behindertengerecht ausgestattet. Das Zimmer war grosszügig ausgestattet mit Tee, Kapselkaffee und tollen Pflegeprodukten. Das Frühstück wurde frisch zubereitet und war einfach grossartig! Wir können das Manse absolut empfehlen!

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 🙂

A superbly clean B&B finished to a high standard with friendly and helpful staff, a fantastic breakfast and a wonderful location by the wide & long beach at Cloughey.
Great location for exploring the Ards Peninsular.

A hidden gem on the peninsula
Great place to stay for everyone beds comfy and towels soft
For dog owners it’s fab as they even provide wee doggy biscuits and a great dog bed
Most welcoming folk great fresh cooked breakfast and fruit salad - plenty of beaches for walking or sailing - a wee hidden gem

We had a lovely stay at this accomodation. We were able to relax in the communal areas with the added options of a hot tub and massage. All the staff were very welcoming. The accomodation was directly facing the beautiful beach. We would highly recommend this B&B
