Whether your club is on an overnight stay to play an AIL game or your a club visiting Ulster for a few days or for a few weeks then you will need a hotel to base your stay.
We followed recent touring side The PigDogs from Novia Scotia. There were 57 people on the tour with the PigDogs and they stayed at The Wellington Park. They said, “We don’t think we could have picked a better hotel, the location was perfect for us with easy access to Belfast city centre only 5 mins taxi away and access to airports and the main travel routes like the motorways. The hotel themselves were very generous and even layed on a complimentary BBQ for our entire party. the choice of hotel was a difficult decision since we did not know the area but thanks to Andy Weir our YMCA rugby club contact in Ulster we chose the Wellington Park. We made the right choice and if we’re back we would stay there again, without a doubt!” Team Manager The PigDogs. Tour Date May 2010.
