About this property
Nestled in a charming residential area, a stone's throw away from the heart of the vibrant city of Belfast, rests this striking three-storey holiday home, Number 91. Beautifully-appointed with a red-brick exterior and offering a warming and homely setting, Alexandra Park Avenue is perfectly positioned for a small family looking to explore the delights of Northern Ireland. Kick off your shoes as you step into the property, continuing through to the traditionally decorated open-plan living/dining space, boasting a sumptuous sofa gathered alongside a warming open fire, inviting you to put your feet up and enjoy a moment of peace in front of the television after an action packed day. Venturing through the property, you'll be delighted by the amply-equipped kitchen, beautifully-decorated with rustic wooden features and an elegant breakfast bar, where you can take perch and share a bottle of wine with the designated chef as they prepare some tasty treats, serving up at the dining table to enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. If you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, head outside for a seat on the patio to indulge in a spot of alfresco dining, and end each day in style with a luxurious seat amongst the bubbles in the hot tub, soaking in the peaceful setting of the private space. As the evening grows darker, climb the stairs to the first-floor where you'll find a thoughtfully laid out king-size bedroom, featuring a light and airy décor, with the spacious family bathroom set across the way, fit with a bath and a shower, giving guests the choice between a leisurely soak or a quick rinse. Climb a further set of stairs to the second-floor, home to an intimate single room, nestled beneath the sloped ceiling, alongside a second king-size room. Head off on foot to explore your surroundings with a leisurely stroll through the well-maintained gardens of Alexandra Park, or let your four legged friend stretch their legs in the dog enclosure at Grove Playing Fields, conveniently nestled at the rear of the property, followed by a traditional pint of Guinness served alongside some great craic at the nearby McKennas Bar. Venture into the heart of Belfast, home to a plethora of exciting attractions, including the charming sculptures of characters from the childhood favourite "The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe" at CS Lewis Square, Belfast Zoo, home to more than 150 species and the Titanic Belfast, a thrilling exhibition displaying an underwater exploration theatre and re-created decks/cabins of the sunken ship. Lace up your walking boots and explore the scenic landscape of Divis and the adjoining Black Mountain, providing a steep walk to the summit through the picturesque heathland, rich with wildlife, offering panoramic views across the vibrant city and the scenic Mourne Mountains in the south. Head further afield to the seaside resort of Bangor to spend a fun-filled day at Ballyholme Beach, where you can enjoy a revitalizing dip in the tranquil waters of the Irish Sea or soak up some rays from the beautiful golden sand. Enjoy a leisurely float along the water in a quirky swan-shaped peddle boat or board the narrow-gauge railway for a journey through the colourful landscape at Pickie Funpark, or if that's not your thing, explore the heritage of the Augustinian Bangor Abbey, founded in 559 AD, or discover the fascinating local history on display at North Down Museum. There's something for everyone with a stay at Number 91

Katherine
Parking is off-road and just outside. I was travelling solo, with a dog, and felt very safe walking in the area at night. We enjoyed the lovely large park at the back, as well as one further up the road. There were shops nearby, including a friendly local supermarket on the main road in to the centre. The owner was very welcoming, helpful and easy to contact. The house was clean and well-equipped. My bed was extremely comfortable. The provision of some supplies and some welcoming treats was a lovely, and much appreciated, touch. I would hope to return in the future.

Clean, comfortable, well-equipped and the owner could not have been more helpful in the run-up to our arrival, and checking that all was well mid-way. A property that is much to be recommended.

It was close enough to the city to explore all the main districts. Although we didn't meet Joy, we just had to send a whatsapp if we needed anything. The house was spacious and very comfortable. The patio area was well suited to our dog as he had plenty of room to run around and it was thoroughly enclosed for safety. We certainly recommend this property for anyone visiting Belfast.
