The hotel was amazing, the ghosts room was fun if not a tight squeeze. Food and drink are amazing, several local products. Parking is opposite the hotel and from what I can see was safe

Welcoming staff good choice of breakfast
Hamdi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and modern and also with a walk in shower bathroom. The staff at reception were most welcoming, the bar staff were a bit slow but they were dealing with foreign guests who were unfamiliar with the local currency. Parking was across a main road from the hotel but it is not too busy for crossing to the hotel. The car park can fill up at times so your not always guaranteed a space. Overall, I would rate the hotel as excellent for business or pleasure.
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely property but a little noisy and room was very hot.

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was perfect. The view, the staff, the garden, all exceptional! The room was large and clean. Breathtaking view of the land to the west from our room windows. Everything we needed was right in the room. The gal at the front desk was so helpful when we asked about driving to Belfast. She gave us much needed reassurance that we could do it and we did. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon!!!
The view right in front of the cottage.
