we stayed here a good number of years ago and really enjoyed our stay and as it was our 25th wedding anniversary we just wanted a quiet get away. The Staff are Great and the Hotel its self was peaceful. However the Quality of the food is honestly mediocre at best. As it was our wedding anniversary my wife didn't want me making a fuss. The Batter of the fish was undercooked and full of oil making it inedible. The Pepper chick had very little pepper, the Supreme was dry and obviously pre cooked and reheated, the roast potatoes were also reheated, leaving them dry and leather like. The young lady who served us did notice my wife had ate very little and did reimburse us for our soft drinks. As a result of the food we decided not to have desert or breakfast. Due to the Restaurant experience we will not return again to Ballygally Castle.

Everything was perfect. The view, the staff, the garden, all exceptional! The room was large and clean. Breathtaking view of the land to the west from our room windows. Everything we needed was right in the room. The gal at the front desk was so helpful when we asked about driving to Belfast. She gave us much needed reassurance that we could do it and we did. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon!!!
