UPDATE - due to low levels of early interest, Lorne Estate have now released some accommodation to other groups. Please contact them directly to discuss options if you are keen to stay there
The Lorne Estate is a 21 acre site approxmately 15 minutes walk from the club, owned by Girlguiding Ulster.
There is a range of accommodation from ensuite rooms, to dorms and camping, inlcuding options where the tent and equipment are supplied.
The landscaped grounds include play areas for those coming with families.
The accommodation is usually booked by groups, but we have made arrangements for individual bookings to be made for the options below, subject to minimum occupancy levels.
The Coach House and Brownie House are only available from Mon 4th, there could potentially be an option to stay in the Ranger dorm or equipped camping on the Sunday night, or the Premier Inn by the Titanic has been suggested by the club, as it's an easy run to the club by train from there. If anyone is interested in making up numbers for an AirBNB or similar booking for Sat 2nd and Sun 3rd, please email Sally.
