Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The location was incredible, right by the beautiful Irish shore and close to the charming Ballintoy small port. The rooms were cozy and had very comfortable beds. The service was top-notch, with pet amenities available and a warm welcome drink. The dining options were reasonable, offering homemade products. However, there was an unhappy member of staff that slightly affected the overall experience.
The hotel is located in a beautiful coastline area near Ballintoy Harbor, ideal for exploring local tourist attractions. The rooms offer a very comfortable bed with breakfast and air conditioning but no exceptional views. The service was pleasant despite a slightly unhappy staff member encountered. The dining experience, including home-baked bread, was satisfactory. The facilities are well-maintained, and the overall value for money is good.
The hotel offers very comfortable beds although with no great view but with lovely music. The service includes laundry, welcome drink, and pet amenities but an unhappy member of staff was encountered. It is situated on a beautiful coastline near local tourist attractions and close to Ballintoy small port and the Rope bridge. Dining is not included but at very reasonable prices with sausages on the menu. The facilities are well-maintained.
