Our stay at Standing Stones was very relaxing. Although perched on the side of Divis mountain, it is not far to Belfast city centre.
The room was warm, comfortable and clean. only thing we missed was a bar fridge to keep drinks cool which doesn't seem to be a thing in Irish hotels.
The only real issue we found, and this may be the fault of the Expedia listing and not the property, we were not aware that the restaurant was not open on Sunday to Wednesday evenings unless you want to order pizza which was a bit of a letdown after a long day travelling by ferry from Scotland as we didn't wish to get back in the car to get something to eat. That being said the pizza made for us on our arrival night was delicious and went down well with a glass Guinness and a cocktail for dessert :)
On our second day there was an issue with kitchen staff, so breakfast was only cereal, toast and tea/coffee, not a big issue for us as this is what we normally have anyway. Plus we were given both this and breakfast the following day for free to make up for the inconvenience.
Exploring Divis and Black mountains from the property if that is your interest is easy as the starting point for the walking trails are only 5 minutes' walk down the road.
Being up the mountain, the view was incredible the day that the weather was clear.
