    The Restaurant experience. There were 6 people in our group. 4 were pleased with their evening meal, 2 weren't. The hotel made a concession by refunding the cost of 2 starters. I was disappointed with my meal but did not send it back as this was a celebratory reunion and I considered it would put a dampener on the occasion. I stayed in Ballygally on Valentine's night in 2023 and my meal was superb. Hopefully this was only a glitch. The breakfast was very good with a wide selection on offer. However not sure if I would stay here again.

    Beautiful location. Comfortable rooms.

    WiFi is a bit hit and miss. Breakfast is advertised as starting at 7, when in fact it's 7.30, which was difficult for me as i only had 5 mins to eat it.

    Great location, superb views from the front of the hotel and quick and easy to get to and from. Food was excellent and the helpfulness of the staff was second to none.

    It was much to warm, although there was a storm outside and it was winter I understand the need for the fires and the heating but it was a lot! It was 2 weeks before Christmas and I had to sleep with the window wide open and it was still sweltering hot! But then again some like it hot..

    The location, the history, the beautiful Christmas decorations ♡

    The only thing that I found a bit challenging was that my room was on the cool side, but it’s probably because my room was switched. I turned some heat on but with the warm covers it was a perfect temp for sleeping anyways.

    Staff were wonderful. There were a couple of stains on the duvet cover in the room I booked (it happens from time to time!), but they remedied it immediately and gave me a different (upgraded) room and it was lovely. Very clean and very spacious and comfortable with a lovely view. It was great to see the historical aspects of the property and to sit and have a drink beside a real fire in a comfortable chair. I also ate at the restaurant and it was delicious. I would absolutely stay here again, because it’s clear staff take pride in their jobs and in providing a wonderful experience for guests.

    Everything. The check in was quick and the receptionist very helpful and friendly. Food in restaurant delicious (had Steak) and chips, best I've ever tasted. When we asked for toothpicks from waiter he got us some, and that's a bonus nowadays as very few eatiers have them. Could fault nothing. Rooms were big and very clean. Beds were comfortable, but the biggest asset was there was no noise from our nearbouring guest although there were occupancy on both sides, you could hear nothing, no mumbling from chat or anything. Overall our stay was excellent and I would highly recommend it to other travellers who are wanting a base to see Antrims famous Glens.
