This hotel was expensive but lovely. The food was excellent. The staff very helpful. The only thing that wasn’t good was the lift didn’t function. The gardens were exquisite and this is a wedding venue.

The lift was broken but the staff was great about taking the luggage up to the third floor. What I really did not like was that it advertised as having AC, however upon check in we were informed that in fact they did not have AC or fans and we spend an expensive, hot stuffy uncomfortable night

Not too much to say that's enlightening. Run of the mill hotel. Muggy and damp feeling with terrible draft odors and sounds with other floor plumbing running next to the bed in a makeshift cabinet/hiding wall. Traffic was loud and even with the small windows not much air flow to be had. Travel cot provided did not have a mattress so it didn't get used. Kind sized bed was two hard mattresses pushed against each other.

Ballygally is a quiet, beachside village. It's a little lacking in anything other than the hotel so coffee/snacks at the hotel would have been good.

We stayed 3 nights and loved the view from our room. The hotel is beautiful however the service received from the reception staff was minimal. On three occasions I needed to speak to the reception staff but they were nowhere to be found. I had to go to another area of the hotel to get some help. That was disappointing but the rest of the staff were very diligent.

Fabulous
Beautiful and comfortable hotel and a perfect base for visiting the Antrim Coast. The staff (particularly Catherine) were fantastic. We had an issue with the radiator in our room and we were given an upgrade to compensate, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended 😊

It was our first time going away with our new addition to our family, our little newborn baby boy, to celebrate my birthday, and the hotel were fantastic, really accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to make it comfortable and so easy to be away from home!

Fun haunted tower room!
We loved our room and its super comfortable beds. It’s was a lot of fun to go up the tower and see the haunted room. Dinner was good, but breakfast was not worth the £18 a person.
