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.

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

Nice stay with good breakfast
For us it was about location. Good breakfast. It is an older establishment so expect things like a gap between the door and the frame to let light in from hallway and a smaller room. Clean. Staff was very conscientious.

Liked: Staff & service
Although this is a quaint old hotel there are some features that older travelers may not like. First there is no lift in this hotel, so unless you get a room on the bottom floor, you will be lugging your bags up some very narrow stairs. The hallways were narrow passageways to a small room; the door did not have a traditional handle, only a deadbolt-latch on the inside. It had a “hostel” vibe about the room. Downstairs was a tired version of old-world pub. The staff was friendly and understanding when we requested a cancellation/refund on our 3rd floor room
