Staff were great! Breakfast was nice. Location is perfect either to escape Belfast, or for a start to the Causeway Coastal Route. Beautiful surroundings, and walkable to both public transit and the sites of Carrickfergus

Excellent location. Staff was helpful, welcoming, efficient, and always available. Room was clean and set up as we requested. Only negative is that the bar can get a bit noisy, but we weren't bothered much by it. We did enjoy a delicious meal at the bar. Across the street is another bar which also can get a bit noisy, including setting off fireworks in the street. Since the noise only lasted a short time, less than 15 minutes, it was not worth complaining about to the manager. Overall, I'd recommend this property to anyone visiting the castle or the downtown area. When I return, I will definitely book again.

Very central location in Carrickfergus and great food. Unfortunately our stay was ruined because we were in a room above their function room and it was VERY noisy on our first night. Because of this we would not stay again.

Lovely location, right in the centre of castle rock, great view of the castle! Staff welcoming and friendly, great advice on nearby car parks, I would say our room, number 5, the beds were very springy and hard and pillows very hard too, in my opinion, other than that, good spot if needing somewhere to stay for a night.

The room did not look like the pictures, was old and tired. Tiny TV which had limited reception and the Wifi in the bedroom was patchy to say the least. Noise from other guests and during the night the phone would light up, lighting up the room.
