Top Carrickfergus Castle Hotel Reviews

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"

Downshire Haven

10/10 Excellent

"Well appointed property in convenient location to public transportation. Would stay again."

Clandeboye Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"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"

Treetops Loft: TouristNI , approved property. check in 6pm check in 6pm

10/10 Excellent

"The garage apt was exactly what our family of 4 needed. All beds and bathroom are up a steep set of stairs, so the extremely young or elderly could struggle, though it is doable with the sturdy railing. Equipped with all the necessaries in a nice neighborhood at the edge of the Woodland Trust which allowed free access to hiking literally right out the back door. The hike afforded beautiful panoramic views of Belfast Lough and the North Channel. Apparently on clear days you can also see Scotland! Host Ronnie was delightful to talk to and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay including access to his garden areas and geo-dome. Wouldn’t change a thing."

The Pink Cottage Upstairs Suite and Secret Garden... beautiful walks & sea view.

10/10 Excellent

"Heather thought of everything when she furnished the Pink Cottage. There were individual jams, butter, fresh bread, cereal, coffee, tea etc. The upstairs loft is spacious with a lovely garden and another little pink cottage that has a living room where you have a fabulous view of the water. There is a microwave, toaster, dishes, utensils etc. There were several tv options. We are big walkers and the path down to the lighthouse connects to the driveway and then the water path. The water to the shower was hot and had good pressure. The towels were bath sheets that were thick and soft. Heather was her husband were always checking to see if we needed anything. I couldn’t recommend a stay at the Pink Cottage more. We would absolutely return. Thank you Heather for being such a fabulous host.🌹"
