    Got an enjoyable breakfast included. It was in the central location right across the road from the beach. What's more, it was close to the Carnfunnock Country Park, a beautiful and well kept garden and the restaurant / bistro

    We had an incredible stay at this luxurious hotel. The location of this place is unbeatable - situated just opposite a beautiful beach, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sea from our spacious and clean room. The service here was exceptional, with friendly staff catering to our every need. We also loved the various amenities provided, such as the in-room tea and coffee facilities, as well as the sitting area and terrace. The restaurant on-site served delicious meals, and the bar/lounge area was a great spot to relax and unwind. The attentive staff made our stay even more memorable, ensuring that we had a truly enjoyable experience.

    We highly recommend this hotel to family and friends.

    The castle's stunning ocean views, beautiful hotel gardens, historical atmosphere, and Game of Thrones connections were all highlights of our stay. The nearby pub with live music was a great bonus, and the buffet breakfast was excellent. The intimate and friendly atmosphere, as well as the option for outdoor weddings, made it a unique and worthwhile experience.

    Nothings.

    Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing and the stunning views was a dream come true. The rooms, tastefully decorated, were a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. We even received a warm welcome with a personalized note and delicious cake. Combine all this with the beautiful gardens in full bloom, and it was a photographer's paradise. The friendly staff, especially Douglas at the front desk, made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in the Glens of Antrim.

    We had an amazing time in this low-budget hotel in Larne. The room was good sized and well-run, equipped with a double bed and a very nice view. The venue had a central setting in the old castle.

    I gotta say, staying at this place was worth the money. The room was bright, spacious, and gave me a great view of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful, just what you'd expect. Can't wait to stay here again, maybe next time I'll explore the ghost room!

    The morning meal could've been better, just needed a little more variety.

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its beautiful gardens and stunning coastal location. It was the perfect base to explore all the nearby coastal sites and fantastic sightseeing locations. The room was immaculate and had all the necessary facilities, the bathroom was spacious and the service provided by the friendly staff was exceptional. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a wide variety of options. The view from the room was breathtaking.

    I did experience some noise from the nearby wedding reception, which was a bit disruptive.
