My 2nd time staying with Deirdre whilst working at the Grand Opera House. Deirdre very kindly picked me up on arrival into Belfast City Airport. The room is lovely and bright with a comfortable bed and en-suite. Although you are welcome to use the kitchen you also have a fridge in your room along with kettle .
It’s a pleasant 30 minute walk into theatre or a 15 minute bus ride. Roughly £7 taxi fare . Use Fonacab app over Uber in Belfast . Look forward to staying again next time I’m in Belfast

Thanks for giving all that extra information. A friend said that the Bodyguard was absolutely amazing. Wish I had gone! You are welcome back anytime 😊
It was my second time staying with Deirdre. Lovely ensuite room and lovely host. Although welcome to use the kitchen, having a fridge, kettle and even crockery and cutlery in the room made it possible to have a truly private stay. I chose to walk the 35 minutes to and from GOH. The bus is an option but worth checking how late they run after a show. I would be delighted to stay again.
21st Apr 2026
Thank you Miguel, you are always welcome. Deirdre
Deirdre is a lovely host who will go out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. The room is well equipped with mini fridge and kettle and an electric blanket! The en-suite is great. The kitchen isn’t the cleanest so I chose not to use it. Lovely 30 min walk to the grand opera house, in a nice area. Thanks Deirdre!
23rd Mar 2026
Oh dear
Deirdre is a wonderful host. The room is clean and spacious, very easy bus route into City Centre. I highly recommend these digs.
18th Aug 2025

I booked the accommodation for one of our dancers and he had a fab stay, Deirdre's house was every thing we imagined, his room was clean and with a wee fridge that he loved for his diet cokes! He felt so welcome, and Deirdre was a great host easy to chat too and really lovely home.
21st Jul 2025
Deirdre is the most wonderful human. I completely lucked out when I booked to stay with her. Aside from having an abundance of kindness and thoughtfulness, Deirdre’s room is absolutely fantastic!! Spacious with the most comfortable bed EVER, and a wonderful hot shower in the en-suite. I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent with Deirdre - Thankyou so much for having me xx
24th Jun 2025

Thank you so much Owen. It was a real treat to have you stay. Deirdre
Loved staying here! Deidre was wonderful and super helpful; couldn’t have done more to make me comfortable and let me use the other living room. Kitchen use great too - always free and huge! Proper home from home and lovely host. Great shower too - highly recommend. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this great review. You are a fantastic guest and you are welcome back anytime. Deirdre
I had a lovely stay with Deirdre and couldn't recommend her and her home enough. She really made me feel welcome and was very accommodating. The house was warm and the bed was very comfortable. The bedroom had its own ensuite, and I had free use of the kitchen. The house was very close (3 minute walk) to a bus stop, with a bus that runs frequently to the city centre, so it's easy to reach any of the major theatres. Thanks Deirdre!
4th Nov 2024
Thank you for this great review, Aoife. You are welcome back anytime. Deirdre
Lovely Digs around half an hour walk from the grand opera house. I had a lovely week! Would highly recommend!
3rd Sep 2024
I had a lovely stay at Deirdre's place. Very comfortable en suite room, peaceful and nice area and good communication. Due to my hours I was not really much there, but enjoyed. Good walk to Opera House but quite long (30/35 mins) and buses were good for getting in but the last bus was a rush for me to get to (around 10.30). Would definitely recommend and stay again.
2nd Sep 2024
Thank you for the lovely review, Leighton. You are welcome back anytime. Deirdre

14th Jun 2024
I had an absolutely wonderful stay with Deirdre whilst performing a the Belfast Opera House. The house is gorgeous with some cracking amenities. The surrounding Ulster Park is stunning with a lovely simple walk into the centre. Deirdre even kindly offered on multiple occasions to give me lifts into the centre. A cracking stay with an extremely friendly host, would recommend to anyone wanting to stay!
11th May 2024

Really happy week staying with Deirdre. Digs were great and the commute is either a half hour walk or 10 mins from the bus stop close by. There’s a nice pub/restaurant about a minute from the house. Would happily return.
13th Oct 2023
Thank you Gordon, you are welcome back anytime : ) Deirdre
I can’t recommend Deirdre enough. She was kind, welcoming and accommodating, and even dropped me off on my last day so I could catch the coach. Room is lovely with a really comfy bed and large en suite bathroom. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Belfast on tour! Thank you Deidre for a lovely stay!
25th Sep 2023
Although 30 minutes walk from the Grand Opera House, it was one of my favourites. Lovely ensuite and bedroom with kettle and fridge in the room. I didn’t bother with the separate sitting room downstairs. I only saw Deirdre briefly but she still kindly offered to take me to the airport on Sunday. Thanks for a splendid week in your lovely home!
30th Aug 2023
Thank you Miguel, you are a great guest and will be welcome anytime 😊 Deirdre
Great digs. Spacious room with your own en-suite. It’s about. 35min walk into town which I did every night after the show and always felt safe (there are also buses which basically take you door to door). Would happily stay there again.
