Three NI hotels among top 1% of Tripadvisor reviews
Three hotels in Northern Ireland have been ranked amongst the top 1% of businesses worldwide to be reviewed on Tripadvisor this year.
Ardtara Country House in Co Derry was named the No 3 Best Small Hotels in the UK (and No.18 in Europe).
The elegant 19-century mansion is secluded in the countryside in Upperlands, and one of the reasons it appealed to customers is due to it being within a 45-minute drive from Belfast, Derry City, Royal Portrush and Portstewart Golf Clubs, the Giant’s Causeway and the Antrim Coast.
Me & Mr Jones – a luxurious boutique hotel and wine bar in Portstewart – came 24th in the UK in the Small Hotels category.
Meanwhile, in Belfast, Tara Lodge was named the No 20 Top Hotel (Overall) in the UK.
The metro style boutique spot is located in the heart of the city’s Queens Quarter, and since 2007, it has also been rated the number one hotel in Belfast on the travel review website.
It surpassed five luxurious London sites in Tripadvisor’s top 25 Traveller’s Choice UK hotels for 2023.
The Traveller’s Choice Awards celebrate businesses that have consistently received great reviews on Tripadvisor.
Since 2002, the accolades have showcased the best hotels based on the reviews and opinions of millions of holidaymakers from around the world.
Belfast’s Merchant Hotel also received a Travellers’ Choice level award, which means it’s in the top 10% of businesses on Tripadvisor, based on reviews.
Its spa has additionally been shortlisted at the separate, prestigious World Spa Awards.
