• SHEILA (6/5): It was the only time in N Ireland that a 4 star hotel restaurant disappointed. - Room was comfortable and no problem Dowdy, old fashioned and tired decor. Polite but extremely poor service in restaurant: inordinate delays between courses despite prompts. Repeat requests for water and incorrect bottle of wine delivered , which we unfortunately neglected to note until after tasting. (It was of course £7 more expensive)
• Stephen (8/5): Lovely atmosphere, very pleasant staff and nice room. - Hospitality and views Dinner was served slow because of a tour group who arrived all at 7pm. The staff did well to try to keep all happy but they were under pressure to deliver.

• Nicky (10/5): Amazing hotel one of the best we have stayed in. - It is stunning inside and out. Beautiful grounds, so many amazing features inside the hotel. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly, polite and helpful. We had a lovely view of the sea from our window and a pleasant walk around the garden and neighbouring beach. The room was very comfortable, had plenty of space and was very clean. The ghost room was a fun feature if you don’t mind spiralling stone staircases. So much to see and many historical facts to find out.

• Ed (10/5): Wow, excellent staff & quiet wonderful hotel, Great view, easy parking. - Wow, booked this last minute and we're glad we did. Parking is across the street, and free. Hotel room was very nice, staff were great on check-in, comfortable bed, across the roadway is the water. We didn't have that view but if we did it would have been amazing. Amazing. Just standing in the hotel parking lot is incredible. We would definitely stay here again. Reasonably priced heat was good. TV was good, no place nearby to eat that we could locate but I'm sure there's some place there. Hotel highlights: Luxury · Great view · Romantic · Quiet · Great value Comfortable bed, quiet hallways. We cannot hear the neighbors next door if there were any Extremely safe. I had no thoughts about crime whatsoever. I wouldn't walk on night since there's no sidewalks, but definitely during the day up and down the road is wonderful. Great views NA

• Liam (8/5): Wonderful . Would heartily recommend it for one or two night stay . You can visit so many great places from here . 15 mi - It had relaxed atmosphere , beautiful location and helpful friendly staff Playing Christmas piano music on a loop in the restaurant .
