Standard singles cost £2.10 and returns £3.50. After that, every other journey on the Glider/Metro network is effectively free.

Accommodation
I have reserved Doubles/Twins/Singles to accommodate 180. All rooms are of the highest quality.
I cannot stress the point to much to BOOK EARLY! Bedrooms are accessed by lifts that are well maintained.

SECURITY: NORTHERN IRELAND
Ladies and Gentlemen it would be remiss of me not to bring to your attention that the current threat level is set at “Severe”.
Having logged in to GOV.UK an answer to the question is it safe to visit Northern Ireland:
“Northern Ireland is extremely safe for tourists to visit. In fact, it has one of the lowest crime rates among industrialised countries. According to statistics from the U.N. International Crime Victimisation Survey, Northern Ireland has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe.”
Serving members should check with their security departments on restrictions.
