Beautiful castle dating back to 1625 AD, but had all the comforts and amenities of a newer hotel. Spectacular view of sea from room. The bed was amazing! Definitely our favorite place of all the places we stayed this trip.

Great location. An easy walk to the train station and all points in Belfast. The restaurant is excellent and the view if the harbor is outstanding. Beats driving into Belfast and finding parking.

We were able to park immediately outside the door. There's no one there when we arrived. However, there was a chalkboard welcoming us and the others staying there. We quickly found our room and the key was in the door. The room was immaculate and comfortable. The windows opened and we were able to air things out. Continental breakfast was adequate and service was helpful. We love the location as it was just up the road from beach and a lovely little Cafe.

When you’re traveling Ireland with children (ours are teenage boys) you need a place to get the energy out before starting a long drive to the south. This hotel provides clean amenities, kind staff, well appointed rooms for families and a pool. This was the perfect stop for us before heading south.

This is a beautiful cottage in a quaint area. We used it as a base to visit parts of NIR to the north (Rope Bridge in Carrick-a-Rede and Giants Causeway) and south (Dobbins, train to Belfast). A short walk to the nearby Spar was great for morning coffee and snacks. We also had dinner at the Ballygally Castle Hotel (walkable) and started our GOT Journey of Doors there (if you’re a fan of the show look this up). It was a bit cold when we were visiting but there’s also a nice beach area if that’s...
