The Old Rectory Guest House Bed and Breakfast B & B Inn Malone Road Belfast Northern Ireland Ulster

About Us

The Old Rectory was built in 1896 to house the Rev. Richard Seaver, the then minister of St. John's, Malone, and his family. It was designed by Henry Seaver, brother of the minister, and the architect responsible for the Church of St. John's itself.

When first built the house was sited in green fields with unobstructed views of the Belfast mountains. Although you can still see the mountains, the area is now a leafy residential suburb close to the many amenities that Belfast has to offer.

The Old Rectory is located one and a half miles from the city centre and the Grand Opera House. It is close to the Lyric Theatre and is convenient to Belfast's Botanic area - with a plethora of bars and restaurants and within a stones throw of Queen's University of Belfast.

We are ten minutes walk from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI).
