Regular visitors with no complaints except this time breakfast wasn’t quite up to the normal standard. Eggs were sitting too long and were hard, had to wait for some items to be replenished but still a great hotel and will definitely be back.

The property was lovely as was the beach behind the car park area. Convenient location for seeing Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede, and not far from Belfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Lovely hotel. Very grand. However, I felt as though the lady checking us in at the desk couldn’t care less. There was no welcome, and no greeting. She seemed annoyed by the whole thing. The room was lovely but stifling. The radiator controls were meaningless. Opening the window resulted in a strong odor of frying grease filling the room as the window opened out to the kitchen roof and exhaust vents.

we stayed here a good number of years ago and really enjoyed our stay and as it was our 25th wedding anniversary we just wanted a quiet get away. The Staff are Great and the Hotel its self was peaceful. However the Quality of the food is honestly mediocre at best. As it was our wedding anniversary my wife didn't want me making a fuss. The Batter of the fish was undercooked and full of oil making it inedible. The Pepper chick had very little pepper, the Supreme was dry and obviously pre cooked and reheated, the roast potatoes were also reheated, leaving them dry and leather like. The young lady who served us did notice my wife had ate very little and did reimburse us for our soft drinks. As a result of the food we decided not to have desert or breakfast. Due to the Restaurant experience we will not return again to Ballygally Castle.

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!!!
