Top Carrickfergus Castle Hotel Reviews

Shelleven House

10/10 Excellent

"Spent two nights here and enjoyed it immensely. Most comfortable bed I have slept in in ages. Breakfast had two options - basic continental and made to order. Sue is incredibly helpful and friendly. Parking is directly out front and it’s a short walk to the train to Belfast and local restaurants. For an extra fee we got a load of laundry done too - super helpful. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Sue ❤️"

The Nines, Bangor Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Spotlesss clean Staff delightful Breakfast delicious Bar great service"

Culloden Estate & Spa

8/10 Good

"Culloden is a very pretty spot but service was a bit uneven. Front desk was terrific and could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast and dining fell short. Long waits and relatively poor quality was out of character with the rest of the property. We stayed two nights and would stay again as its rooms and natural beauty are terrific. The free breakfast was a case of getting what you pay for and the Cultra Inn was very disappointing. We did not try the Spa."

Dobbins Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place and great food"

Princetown Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Owners were super helpful and friendly. Gave us great tips for our travel through Northern Ireland"

Clandeboye Lodge Hotel

"Excellent as always - we tend to stay here almost each visit to NI. Home from home"

The Old Inn Crawfordsburn

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful stay. Wonderful staff. Beautiful hotel. Only (very minor) thing was my room (Wedgewood) didn't have any sockets by bed and only one other spare socket to use, which makes it hard when multiple things needing to charge"
