Second visit here and as good as the first time. Host Sue is lovely, we'll be back again.
United KingdomPrivate, comfortable, good location, beautiful area
CanadaClean and comfortable and the extras were wonderful
United KingdomThe accommodation was exactly what we wanted, with en suite small kitchen & lovely comfortable bedroom. The accommodation is situated within 0.4 miles from Donaghadee town and is easily walked to. The host Sue made us very welcoming and was on hand if we needed anything.
United KingdomSue the owner is a wonderful person made you feel much at home.
United KingdomSue is an amazing host. The bedroom is clean and comfortable. The little kitchen is well stocked and every day we were given more delightful treats for breakfast. Although small the layout is clever. Sue was available for help when needed but gave us space to enjoy our holiday. There is a side entrance so you don't have to bother her if you don't need to. Lovely outside space which was great in the hot weather.
United KingdomEverything! I’d like to say that I don’t normally leave reviews for places that I have stayed in but the sheer warmth with which Sue Douglas welcomed us for our recent 2 day stay at her beautiful home compelled me to do so! The choice of food for breakfast was amazing, the cleanliness of the annex in which we stayed was second to none and the comfort of the bed was superb! However, it was Sue’s friendliness that shone through, nothing was too much trouble and felt, albeit for a short period of time, part of her family. Thank you. On a more practical note, the location is about a 5-10 minute walk into Donaghadee High Street, so you are very close to an abundance of bars, shops and restaurants. I am running out of superlatives here but needless to stay, if we visit Donaghadee again, would you love to stay at The Lantern and I recommend you do so too!
United KingdomSue was very welcoming and everthing was so clean and comfortable .The continental breakfast was out of this world , we will be back.
United KingdomThis B&B was amazing! We were left food for breakfast in a private kitchenette along with snacks. The bed was very comfy and there was loads of space to sit and chat. The kitchenette looked out on the back garden which was well kept and Sue's dog greeted us in the morning. We highly recommend!
IrelandThe flat is nice and cosy with all the amenities you need. And the fridge was well stocked with breakfast goodies. Its like a home from home and Sue the owner was a really lovely host. We will be back for sure.

It is a self contained unit with it's own private entrance. There is a kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, microwave, for the use of guests, although no other cooking facilities. The washing machine and tumble dryer are not for the use of guests. It is within walking distance to the small town of Donaghadee, 10mins, where there are several shops, cafe's and good restaurants. Also the sea and harbour are very close by. I have only the one room but it is self contained and is all on one level. You can also park your vehicle in the drive directly outside the window of your room. The garden has now been transformed and is for guest usage ..should the weather allow.! I accept well behaved animals but ask you treat the room with respect. I am opening up on 2nd July, 2020, the accommodation will be decorated and sanitized accordingly after each occupation. Onwards and upwards folks, were are back in business. Thank you for your time. Best Wishes to you all and keep safe. Sue Douglas
Hi again, I look forward to meeting all my guests but will hand you the key and you will not be troubled by me unless I can be of assistance to you. I will leave a selection of fare in the fridge in the wee kitchenette and if you require any specific food/items just let me know and I will do my best to accommodate those needs. I have two Labrador dogs Jack and Laddie, who are very quiet and also enjoy other dogs visiting us. There is a small pond in the garden with fish there-in for your enjoyment. The garden is enclosed so quiet safe and private. I will look forward to meeting and greeting you at The Lantern very soon. Best wishes Sue Douglas
