Ballyrusley B&B

21/06/2023

Thanks you to everyone for enquiries. However, Ballyrusley B&B has been closed since June 2022 and will not re-open.

13/06/2022

Having taken the decision several months ago to downsize, we have just removed all our B&B availability from our on-line reservation diary and with other partners such as Expedia and Booking.com .

It has been some achievement to work towards our Tourism NI 4* grading throughout Lockdown and also to maintain our #1 slot on Trip Advisor throughout this time but, as the saying goes, 'all good things........'

We have had the pleasure of seeing so many friends visit over the years and we have appreciated the fact that so many of you have visited us on several occasions. We still have some dates over the next few weeks if anyone fancies a visit and one 'last hurrah'. However, as far as the general public are concerned, we have decided that we have reached the time when we can no longer wait for our next new 'friend' to walk through the door!
So thank you all who have visited and for all the support and encouragement you have given. Take care.

This is our most recent Trip Advisor front page, taken literally a few minutes ago.......

A Happy Christmas and prosperous 2022. Let's all hope that things will improve during the coming year.

Our on-line diary remains open but do phone us if you wish to discuss availability now and in the future.

Take care,

One of the hidden gems on the Ards Peninsula, Derry Churches are situated one and a half miles north east of Portaferry on the A2 Cloughey Road and are signposted from Portaferry. There is written evidence of pre-Norman ecclesiastical activity at the site associated with St. Cumman, and there was a chapel here in 1302-1306. Evidence dates these two small churches to the 10th or 11th-century. Excavations at the churches uncovered Early Christian period occupation and a cemetery of stone-built graves under the churches. An earlier stone and wood building, which was possibly a church was also uncovered. A small early cross-carved stone is set in the larger church.

We're good to go as soon as we are permitted to do so and throughout the pandemic we have been working to ensure that Ballyrusley B&B is a safe environment for everyone. For example, throughout your stay we only have one room operational and we physically close down our other room. We also close down your room for the day before your stay and the day after your departure in order to give a thorough clean. All of this is in addition to usual expectations which include hand sanitisers, masks and careful preparation of food and laundry.

We await to hear when the Northern Ireland Executive will allow hospitality and tourism to welcome guests and ask you to please be aware that the rules can be different to the rest of the UK and the ROI.

We do understand that circumstances can change at any time. If your plans change for any reason – for example you need to change dates / add a day /change rooms, etc – we are here to help and we ask that you please let us know as soon as possible in order that we can work with you. This is also important in the event of cancellation and we thank you in advance for your understanding and support.
