A beautiful property, well cared for and a very thoughtful lodging experience. The room had a lovely ocean view, right on the water. Brian and Cora were lovely hosts, provided all the information I needed for my stay, were very helpful in making dinner reservations, very accommodating to my schedule for checking out, and provided great relaxation services on short notice. Rachel was so lovely and curated a great breakfast; she also helped me to get in a quick load of laundry. The resident dogs were so sweet and playful.

Brian is a very friendly host, helpful with good local knowledge. Our room was warm, clean and homely. The reading/ tv area backed onto the garden, the warmth from the wood burning stove was great. A nice touch was the tea and coffee “on tap.” Breakfast was more than filling! Will definitely be back!

Beautiful B and B in beautiful location
It was amazing, such a lovely place with lovely rooms and facilities. Good few things to do especially as there isn’t a lot in Cloughey. Though other towns 10 mins away have more options. Can see how it won Four in a bed

Perfect getaway
We had a great time staying in Manse On The Beach. The place is very clean and super cosy. We had a choice of cooked breakfast options and the staff were very accommodating. The sauna and jacuzzi are a real delight! The only con was the bed in our room. It needs an upgrade. Either the bed or the mattress makes awfully sqweeky sound even when turning.

A big treat.
A hidden gem in beautiful countryside with the beach on your doorstep. We were greeted by the lovely Rachel, who showed us around. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She immediately made us feel welcome and provided us with her lovely sense of humour. This gorgeous bijou B+B boasts a jacuzzi and steam room in a vast garden,that you can book for private use. Very comfortable surroundings and a lovely room with deliciously smelling skin products to use. The owners, Brian and Cora are very friendly and accomodating and one of their dogs,the big fluffy Oscar, was just a pet. . We would definitely come back. 😀

A superbly clean B&B finished to a high standard with friendly and helpful staff, a fantastic breakfast and a wonderful location by the wide & long beach at Cloughey. Great location for exploring the Ards Peninsular.

Quality!
Everything was excellent - the location, room, breakfast, service... everything. Brian and his team made us feel welcome even before we arrived going the extra mile to provide all the information and anything else we needed. A very homely vibe. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing stay.

On the beach, sea view rooms. Beds very comfortable, good support. Excellent breakfasts. Good restaurants within minutes driving. Feels remote but 3/4 hour from Belfast. NT walks and “homes” a short drive. Very helpful staff. We didn’t have time to use the Spa facility but will next time.

Superb Venue.
Excellent property, perfectly situated ny the beach with wonderful facilities (sauna & jacuzzi). The owner was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. We would thoroughly recommend the Manse for a relaxing and chilled break in a quiet location. We hope we can go back there again.

Tranquility on The Shore
Sitting right on the shoreline this is a hidden gem. Beautifully appointed. Personal service. Fabulous breakfast. Great outdoor space with spa facilities. Brian is a very accommodating host. This would be a great place to bring a group of friends or family. It is a perfect place to host a specialist interest group retreat.

Perfect stay
Stayed at this beautiful place for 2 nights. We had 2 rooms and both were spotless, great in room facilities and attention to detail. Dog friendly too which was a real bonus for us. Dining room is off kitchen so obviously not dog friendly, but they set up a table in the lounge area for breakfast which was appreciated. We did not want to put dog in the car as other guests did. Public areas and garden very spacious and relaxing. Haven spa with jacuzzi and sauna very well laid out (extra charge) - well worth it and relaxing after a days touring the local area. Super friendly staff. Beautiful views and walks. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to return.

We had a fantastic stay at Manse on the Beach. Our room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with lots of nice touches. Great spot, right on the beach, our dog loved it!
