Great stay in a historic building. Friendly staff, fabulous breakfast. Definitely recommend for an overnight in Carrickfergus. Wonderful to walk out the door and see the castle.
The hotel was old and rustic, and cozy. The breakfast was delicious! And service was friendly and great. Some nice pubs were very close to walk to with one being right across the street!!
Quaint older property w a lot of charm. The staff was friendly and helpful and their food at their restaurant was excellent and plentiful.
We really liked the Carrick Fergus area as well.
Would stay there again for sure.
Great hotel,clean and tidy. One thing we noticed was the room always had a nice inviting smell to it. Very helpful staff. Only problem the Belfast bap was missing one egg and black pudding on both our platea
Great location, comfortable rooms, lovely breakfasts and very obliging staff.

Absolute gem of a hotel!
Absolute gem of a place! The place was quirky, clean and in a great location. The room was comfortable and spacious. The staff were really lovely, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was amazing on both days!
Historic and cozy inn. Room was what I expected in a centuries old building adding to the charm of the town. Good Irish breakfast. Would stay there again if in the area.
We had a lovely stay .
We had an unforgettable evening with a reunion dinner. The food was good and the service excellent. They were so accommodating to our family. It is a very charming establishment.
Lovely old style inside giving it the historical side off an Inn
Staff so welcoming at all times
Hot Breakfast choice was great, could do with possibly some cold meat or cheese or yogurts
