Strand House

This beautiful place, in a lovely area, is close to the beach, shops, cafes, restaurants. Ernistine and Tom, really lovely. The room beautiful, cosy and relaxing. I had everything i needed. I really enjoyed my time here. Thank you very much, Ernistine and Tom.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Strand House. Ernistine and Tom were incredibly hospitable and kind and couldn’t have made us feel more welcome or more at home. The room was accessible for wheelchair use and the communal area was comfortable indeed. Thoroughly recommended and thanks so much. Brian, Margaret and Cathy, Southampton.

The owners of the house have taken care with every detail! From the spacious rooms to the bedding, to the snacks, breakfast, anything you can imagine. Lovely, lovely people. Fantastic restaurants close by, and all with a view of the beach! Will go back for sure!

I had read all the fabulous, so I thought that would be a good distraction for me as I was there for work meetings in nearby Coleraine. Unfortunately, it is no longer run they way it was preciously. It has changed since the pandemic. No longer greeted by the owners, there's a box outside that you get the code for in advance. Once in my room, it was explained that they no longer offer a cooked breakfast but have cold milk, OJ, and yogurts in room fridge and a coffee machine, it was disappointing as I didn't have transport to go find somewhere else for breakfast. The room was clean and the girl that showed me to my room and helped me with keypad to get in was lovely. The bed was comfortable.

We just had a 3 day trip around Northern Ireland and we were so lucky to find this wonderful guest house, The Strand House. The owners Ernestine and Tom gave us the most warm welcome and were so informative about the area and areas to dine. The room and bathroom were cosy, so clean and beds comfortable. A fridge in the room filled with essentials, an overflow fridge outside surplus of water, fruit juice and treats. And the well needed nespresso machine! The guesthouse is located beside the Portstewart golf course and a 3 minute walk to the fabulous beach. It is close to the main st where there is a multiple choice of places to eat. A great location to the Coleraine road and just 10 mins to neighbouring Portrush. Just had the most fabulous trip to the North of Ireland from Co Clare and had Portstewart as our base to complete the tourist attractions as Belfast, the rope bridge, giants causeway, portrush, Portstewart, Malin head, stairway to heaven( cuilcagh mountain park). I just couldn’t recommend this guesthouse enough and hopefully will be back soon with the golf clubs next time. Thanks so much Ernestine and Tom for making our holiday as great as it was!

Great location, beautiful well furnished room, very comfortable bed, super host and lots of private parking, Walking distance to Portstewart Strand, Harry’s Shack and the golf course. Would definitely stay again.

Strand House is a wonderful little B&B in Portstewart, very near the 3-mile Long Beach. We had a lovely room on the 2nd floor (1st floor if you’re European) and you could see the ocean through the row of houses across the street. The bed was very firm and comfortable. I was happy to have a heated towel rack as I washed some smaller items in the sink. Our proprietress was very friendly and personable, and was extremely sympathetic when my husband hurt his ankle/foot somehow, providing us with as ice pack. My only regret is that we weren’t able to take advantage of the delicious breakfasts that I’ve read about here, although totally understandable as it’s due to Covid.

From the start to the finish of our stay Tom and his Wife were fantastic, the room was beautiful, so clean and modern, a fridge with fresh milk juice and youghurts for the morning. We were so well rested had a fantastic night sleep in our big beautiful bed. The hosts went out of their way to ensure they could do whatever they could for us to enjoy our stay, including suggesting great restaurants a bottle of prosecco on arrival, late check out and being dropped in for our dinner reservation. 10/10 we will definitely be back and recommending it to all our friends and family.

Just spent two nights at Strand House. Tom and Ernestine were brilliant hosts. It’s a beautiful house and they provide many small touches to make you feel welcome. Good quality and comfortable accommodation. , ideally situated to town and the beach. Ideal for golfers and those exploring the surrounding areas. Will definitely book again.
