Lovely hotel

We had a great stay in ballycastle. The staff were the best I’ve probably ever had from the girls at check in to the lovely Australian woman at the bar who couldn’t do enough for us. We will certainly be back soon. Great value also and food was amazing especially breakfast

We had a 1 night stay in August. The weekend after the Lamas Fair. There was no entertainment in the hotel. There was also no bar to go to; we had to keep looking for a server for drinks. The restaurant has to be pre booked and the food was OK but not worth the prices. Bedroom was comfy and clean. No smart TV. Also road noise woke us. The home made short bread was awful; far too dry. I’d say if we hadn’t met a lovely family in the residents lounge it would have been a less than average experience.

Weird place. Out hotel was in an annex that you have to walk outside to get to the lobby. No elevator so had to lug luggage up stairs, not at all convenient. The hear wasn't turned on and it was like 50's at night. The helpful staff gave us a portable heater and so we were alright but he central heat wasn't turned on. Really pretty amateurish. Breakfast was basic. Staff were okay nothing special. Location is great by the water. Probably the only positive I guess easy parking and the WIFI worked. Wouldn't stay again unless this was the only hotel in my price range/ Even then if you have a car I'd stay in a better place even if it was further out of town and drive in, it's not hard to park in town.

What we didn’t like 1. The large mobile fan in the room wasn’t working, and the windows only opening a couple of inches so the heat in the room was unbearable. I rang the receptionist twice in 2 hrs to see if it could be replaced. It took over 4hrs for a replacement working fan to be installed in the room. 2. The toilet roll in the room was nearly empty with no replacements. Also the toilet was lacking a simple toilet brush.
