Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Do1 contributionThis was our first time visiting Streamvale Farm after hearing about it and we were not disappointed. We visited with our 2 year old grand daughter who loved it (and so did we). It’s a very well managed place with lots of things happening, staff are excellent with communication and very good with the children. I like that they didn’t expect you to spend lots of money when you where there and they had plenty of picnic tables and bins for rubbish to allow families to bring their own food which is helpful if there is lots of people in a group. Well done to everyone as this is one place we will definitely be returning to again as it’s a great day out and value for money hopefully it won’t be as windy next time!Written 7 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Niamh KBelfast, UK13 contributionsExcellent tour of this historical graveyard. Mark, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and answered my endless questions. We did the Thursday evening tour. Highly recommend spending a few hours here.Written 16 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jeff HGuangzhou, China157 contributionsGreat hike - partially covered and partially open sky. Doable in a couple hours, and super convenient to get to from Downtown Belfast.Written 19 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 640clareGlasgow, UK34 contributionsWe stumbled upon this church by accident and thought we’d go in for a nosey. What a stunning church inside......and so peaceful! A lovely spot to sit and reflect in the beautiful ambience of the church. Don’t go past!Written 14 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeeLiverpool, UK685 contributionsI will tour guide recommended that we eat here for lunch and we were certainly not disappointed. The beautiful tea room was located in the elegant library which had a fascinating poster collection amongst other exhibits. The staff are extremely friendly and the food was delicious. My vegetarian breakfast was one of the best that I have ever had.Written 9 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janine B8 contributionsWonderful, wonderful museum truly packed full with history or Irish republicanism from the revolution through the troubles. We quickly stopped in and realized there was so much more to see we came back the next dayWritten 27 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Camille WOregon Coast, OR3 contributionsBeautiful place. I had a great time exploring the UK. The weather, scenic landscapes, and shopping - overall I had a blast. You must go there once in your lifetime.Written 20 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lesley MLondon, UK4 contributionsWe knew that there was no guided tour that day, but as the place was open we went to see it for ourselves. We found it so interesting seeing all the people who had been there, from all those who had died, and all the children with their ages, who had lived there. We were the only visitors so enjoyed seeing the various rooms and plaques, without interruption. On entering we were given a leavelet about Clifton House, which helped us enjoy the visit.Written 31 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lorena HKeystone Heights, FL33 contributionsAs someone who read the Narnia series probably once a year from the time I was seven to the time I was seventeen, and probably once every five years since then.... going to the C. S. Lewis Square made my little "I secretly still believe in magic" heart so, so very happy. And I'm not the only one - someone before me had put those fresh flowers on Mr. Tumnus, and there was a girl walking her dog through the park and the dog stopped and barked at the White Witch for about two whole minutes. Magic might be real, in Ireland.Written 20 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hannah JWarwick, Australia6 contributionsThis place is out of this world.
We nearly walked past it until I looked up and saw these huge plants in a very high window and I am very glad I didn't miss it.
The beauty within is magnificent, just make sure you actually stop to look, touch feel and smell everything.
And if you have any questions ask, when we visited there was a volunteer and a guy who worked there who chatted to us for what felt like hours all about the history, and how the plants had been saved when the building was to be demolished, some plants in there are ancient, and only very few left in the world, and to see the love and care that goes into keeping them is beautiful
And it is free, there's not many places left in the world like this that hasn't been monetised, go and check it out.

Shop was full of things to buy and great militaria at a budget friendly price. Work was being done when we went with scaffolding but it was just as good as I think it would have been normally! They helped traced records of my relatives in the regiment and the information and artefacts themselves were really informative. The staff had 1-1 conversations and expanded on the information around. A small but brilliant place.Written 28 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Noah6 contributionsThis forest park is amazing to talk through any time of year. With several hidden entrances, from the Lagan towpath via Shaw's Bridge and the Lockkeeper's Cottage, to the Galwally Avenue entrance, as well as the official entrance via the carpark in the Belvoir estate, there are many ways to get into this urban oasis of tranquility and nature.
Just away from the carpark, you'll find the remains of a 12th century Norman motte, as well as an the site of an ancient village. The variety of tree species is also incredible, as a large portion of the park was planted as an arboretum by the Dungannons and Batesons, and this area includes some specimens of sequoia redwood and cedar. As well as this, there is a private Medieval graveyard with plots dating back to the 14th century.
A short walk down the towpath to the Clement Wilson Park will bring you to Shaw's Bridge, built to allow Cromwell's gunners to cross the Lagan, and the remains of an ancient Irish ringfort.
Belvoir Park Forest - a beautiful, peaceful place steeped in a thousand years of history.Written 12 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Have also done zombie escape and dream house, which are also fantastic highly recommend giving them a visit. Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to any new rooms you guys launch.Written 31 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JCus89Southampton, UK236 contributionsStopped in for a pint of Guinness (as you do when visiting Ireland) and was blown away by the atmosphere.
We sat outside and there was a lovely folk band playing traditional Irish music on a violin & support band.
Very busy but you didn’t have to wait long to be served and the door man was super nice and really did keep things moving in door ways & letting those with drinks back through the crowd.
Toilets were a little messy and old fashioned but that’s to be expected from an old pub like this, if you are around I would definitely recommend stopping in for an authentic experience.Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We visited for a late afternoon drink, it was sunny and was nice to sit outside in the sunshine, then returned the next evening, which was much busier with live music and a buzzy atmosphere. Highly decorated pub, both inside and outside. Definitely worth a visit if you’re visiting Belfast.Written 22 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
