Stayed here for one night when in Bangor visiting the in-laws. It was our first time staying here and we really enjoyed it. We had a great en-suite room with views over the garden. We really enjoyed watching the two dogs romp around the place having fun. The B & B is full of interesting bits and pieces in every... More

This was the second visit we have made to Cairn Bay Lodge. Chris and Jenny are the most helpful friendly hosts you could wish to meet.

We ended up in Bangor, frankly, because of the wonderful reviews we had read about Chris and Jenny at Cairn Bay Lodge on TripAdvisor. All of the glowing reviews were 100% accurate! Chris and Jenny went above and beyond to make us... More

A gem of a hotel, situated within 10 mins from the centre of Bangor, A fairly substantial building with plenty of rooms. Don't forget that this is someone's home as well, The landlord couldn't be more helpful. Everything in the room is well thought out, a superb shower, plenty of hot water and warmth, maybe a little too warm at... More

I have just returned from Cairn Bay Lodge where I stayed whilst working away from my home town of Manchester. Although we only stayed for two nights we were defiantly made to feel welcome and were looked after extremely well. Rooms were clean, tidy and very comfortable and full English breakfast was exceptional. Would highly recommend this accommodation and will... More
