On arrival the car park was full... More

The title is the name of the package we got which was excellent value. It included afternoon tea and B&B for £70. Hard to beat!! We also had a lovely bar meal - scampi and burger - beside the cosy real fire. The old castle section is worth seeing with all the talk of ghosts and history, and the gardens... More

Ballygally Castle, just north of Larne on the Antrim Coast, was the perfect stop for us on our journey to Belfast. All that lies between the hotel and the Irish Sea is the road and a carpark – so the views are lovely. We had an executive room, which was spacious and comforable - the beds in all of our... More

We stayed in a room at the front overlooking the sea and it was great and very relaxing. We ate in the restaurant and found the selection and quality of... More

We stayed at Ballygally Castle hotel for a few nights as a base whilst visiting family in Northern Ireland. Rooms were comfortable and clean, staff were friendly and the location by the beach was lovely and made travelling up the Antrim coast very easy. The hotel seems to often have offers on including dinner and reduced room rates so would... More

Needing to relax and unwind the Ballygally Castle hotel was just what we needed. Comfortable clean rooms, sumptuous towels, good food in a spacious restaurant with attentive staff, excellant location with quirky gardens and a stream. We took the bus up the coast to Cairnlough and had a pint in a pub which Ballygally doesn't have, in fact, there is... More
