“A very good place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Situated on a quiet street at the eastern end of Lisburn, this wonderful haven is run by Ron and May Farrar. The house is quiet and relaxing, the rooms are excellent, with en-suite bathrooms, and have everything you could need. Ron and May are warm and friendly, and the sumptuous breakfast they serve up will keep you going for hours. The house is in a convenient location, near the Belfast-Dublin motorway (but there's no road noise), which makes it a good base for exploring the region. Belfast city center can be reached in about 15 minutes on the motorway (Dublin's a mere 90 minutes away), but you can also take a train from Lisburn. Getting around Lisburn itself is easy as taxis are plentiful and cheap. I highly recommend No. 3!

“The Best of the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

This was our first B&B we stayed in on our travells around Ireland and was by far the best.
Ron and may were amazing genuine hospitality. Was so good to have a cuppa tea and chat with such nice people. Breakfast was beautifull and the room was lovely. We didnt wont to leave and would deffinitly be calling in to stay next time we are in Norther Ireland.
So if you are heading to Belfast this place is the place to stay as its not far and very relaxing.

“Canadian Perspective”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

May and Ron are the perfect hosts. My sister and I spent two nights in a most relaxing atmosphere at No.3. Having stayed in many B&Bs in Ireland this one raises the bar for all others in terms of food, artistic decor, accommodation and genuine caring for our comfort. With the Linen Museum, Tuesday's Lisburn Market and access to many other interesting places close by, the location is most convenient. Betty, London, Ontario.

“The Quintessential B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

Ron and May Farrar run what is surely one of the finest B&Bs in the world. They are gracious, helpful and interesting hosts. The room I had was immaculate and comfortable. Free wi-fi. And May's breakfasts will last you all day - full cooked Irish breakfast accompanied by delicious home-prepared fruit salad. I can't recommend this property too highly!

“Incredibly lovely people and excellent value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

I stayed here by chance as the B&B that I was originally booked into for one night had made a double-booking. I have never received such a warm welcome and at £35 for a single traveller, with a lovely large room, masses of towels and great breakfast (I had to leave very early and expressed my willingness to let myself out without eating, but they insisted on getting up to look after me). They are really special people and it was a true pleasure to meet them. I cannot recommend the B&B enough.
