Review Score: Exceptional 10/10

8.8 Miles from Craigavon


Meet your host…

Jean Paul Van der Velde

We have been welcoming guests into our B@B for many years. We enjoy meeting people from all around the world. Guests can be assured of a warm friendly welcome as well as some home baked goods! Noreen's nettle tea & cordial have become a guest favourite along with nettle other nettle beauty products which are all available to purchase(when in season) during your stay. Guests can also book Noreen's Nettlefest Food & Drink Experience during their stay.Details on website.

Aghalee
BT67 0EZ

A decidedly different B&B located in a tranquil area of the beautiful Northern Ireland countryside where the emphasis is based on creating experiences and memories rather than just a bed for the night. Guests can expect a welcome glass of wine or tea and coffee, homemade goodies and a breakfast using local produce only from the nearby award winning butcher McCartney's of Moira.

The area is peaceful and quiet for those seeking relaxation and to experience rural life. Aghalee is situated on the Route 94 National Cycle Network and guests can enjoy a picturesque walk, fishing or cycling along the nearby Broadwater. Good restaurants are within a 2-3 mile radius and you will find good coffee shops etc in Moira village which is only 4 miles away.

Moira train station is 3 miles away where a 22min train journey will take to to the bright lights of Belfast city centre. The Vandees is centrally located for exploring most of the major tourist attractions in NI.

How to get here

If you are looking for the perfect B & B place to stay in Armagh county, the Vandee's is the best possible choice you can make. Our hosts, Noreen and John-Paul were helpful in so many ways and without their assistance our trip to the North would have been very dreary and difficult as they helped us so much. The home itself is a "MUST SEE." The structure us a new one but the feeling is that you stepped back in time or perhaps have flown to the future. The lower bathroom a modern work of black jet and white plaster. Our bedroom was very beautiful and the bed comfortable and room warm. My daughter and I enjoyed out stay there and if we return will stay there. Breakfast in a bright cozy room prepared by Noreen, a great chef! Can only advise, if you get into the North, stay there, you will be enchanted by the hosts and the home.

Thank you so much Dale for your lovely review! We loved looking after you and it means so much that you enjoyed staying in our home! We do hope that you return to see us one day on the Emerald Isle! Best Wishes... Noreen & Jean-Paul

Noreen and Jean Paul were delightful hosts to a very clean, fresh, friendly, nourishing and comfortable stay. The bed could not have been more comfortable! Most memorable stay of our three weeks of staying in BnB’s in Ireland.

Bottom Line Up Front: Do yourself and favor and book a stay at The Vandees. We've been back in the U.S. for about six weeks, so I feel guilty about just now getting around to writing a review. Noreen and JP are two incredibly hospitable people. My wife and I both feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay with them for a few days in late May. While their home is beautiful and their property is tranquil, the reason you should choose to stay here is because of the hosts themselves. They made us fall in love with Northern Ireland. They were enthusiastically interested in what we had planned and provided some input that resulted in experiences we will never forget. As an added bonus, Noreen is an incredible cook who's even willing to share some recipes! If we can get back to NI (which we'd love to do), we'll certainly be spending more time at The Vandees! Unfortunately, we cannot give a score higher than 10.

Mike and I have had a delightful time relaxing in your home. We enjoyed visiting, ‘chatting’ about GOT locations and driving suggestions along the coastal route. I would highly recommend this B&B to everyone. Thank you for sharing your home.

Everything that makes you love Ireland is concentrated here, starting with a warm welcome, kindness and friendly atmosphere. We can only repeat and confirm the many laudatory comments about this lovely place, by far the best B&B experience of our trip in Northern Ireland, unfortunately too short but which will remain in our memories. It was a pleasure to meet Noreen and Jean-Paul, to have enjoyed the beauty and comfort of their house, the delicious breakfast, help and advice about point of interest on our road. Famous hospitality, definitely under the spell. Four friends coming from France.

Thank you Mark and friends from France! We are only just seeing this amazing review! To know that your stay with us was the highlight of your trip is what makes it all worthwhile! We had such a lovely time with you all and maybe one day the four friends will return. Merci beaucoup ... Noreen & Jean-Paul
