The house was brilliant, like a museum! Pristine and full of character! It’s kept in its original form, like going back in time, and a must for any George Best fans. Communication was fast and the guys were super helpful and accommodating. A short drive to the city centre too!

Foodies will love discovering unexpected northern Irish delights dotted around EastSide, with new eateries popping up all the time. The visitor centre at C.S. Lewis Square with Jack’s coffee bar is a good place to start. Get your bearings and sip coffee with the locals in Jack’s.

Thanks to Peter for a great introduction to the house and the history of the Best family life. We were not expecting to have a guided tour on arrival so it was a great welcome. We really came away knowing so much more about Georges upbringing and family life. The house was absolutely spotless and very comfortable and the street was so quiet. Overall we have a great stay in Belfast.
