The room we were in had a gorgeous view of the castle! The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom looked recently remodeled. It is an old building so the floor was uneven; and the day we went was windy so the walls seemed to move with the wind- but that is to be expected in an old building. The one thing I will note is that there was a pub right below and you could hear people talking outside of it for quite a bit into the night. However it didn’t ruin the experience and we had quite a nice time. Would recommend.

The only problem, as such, was there was no hot water in the room what so ever. Not ideal, but the rest of the facilities were good.

TV shuts off and so does the internet. Or the TV has volume but no picture. Staff fixes and later it is down again, this happened the entire two nights.Parking is on street and subject to tickets. I had to go to the bar to use my laptop, a beer is 6 pounds. I went to the pub across the street for great internet and 2 pound beers.

Super awesome staff. Friendly with such a cool pub right next to the lobby. Short walk to train that takes you into Belfast. Easy parking close by for free. Only down side was room booked was small as was the bathroom. But good size room if traveling with family as it would be good for the kids. Still would stay here again

Wonderfully charming inn with lots of character and history. We had a nice chat with the very friendly innkeeper/bartender (we forgot to ask her name) and she also helped us to find a place for dinner in town since we arrived after their restaurant had closed. The room was on the small side but efficient and clean with a large ensuite bathroom. There is no lift so this may be less suited for older travelers or travelers with limited mobility. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend
