One of nicest hotels we have ever stayed

We stayed here for one night to celebrate a birthday and have a meal with family.The staff made some special touches in our room leaving balloons and a card. We had dinner in the restaurant The food was superb Big portions of wonderful quality and not rushed Family stayed on and we had drinks in agreat atmosphere The view out to the bay was lovely to wake up to. We had a jacuzzi bath which we didn't get time to use . Shower was excellent L'Occitane products were lovely to use Breakfast was extensive lots of choice Freshly made Staff were all friendly and helpful We even spoke to the owner who was happy to ensure we had a perfect stay Great location for exploring the North Antrim coast

Fantastic hotel.

Fantastic hotel in the perfect location. Sitting outside with a drink and watching the sunset was amazing. Staff are all lovely, food was great and the rooms very comfortable. Even a Nespresso machine in the room! One of my favourite hotels in Northern Ireland.

A must hotel to visit

This hotel was recommended to us and i read the reviews that people who had been for 1 night wished they had been for 2. Only staying for 1 night we felt exactly the same. Everything was faultless. The evening meal was out just as good or maybe better then the ritz. Will definatly be returning. And also as this was a trip which includes 3 different hotels everyone we speak to knows and as stayed at this hotel. Its there go to hotel!!! Thats says it all and even better if you can get a room in the turrets as only 3 or a sea view.
