Gave me a chance to see where my ancestors lived. Food was wonderful as well as the staff. We met people not only from Ireland but also Scotland. The firm bed was very comfortable. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was very good and an additional plus.

So much history in this little inn. It was actually considered a castle at one time. Not to mention you can walk across the street to the huge castle. Remember it’s old…but that’s part of its beauty. The breakfast was 2nd to none!!!

My niece & I wound up at the Dobbin's Inn by chance, we were only going spend one night but we fell so in love with the Hotel & the surrounding town of Carrickfergus that we spent 3 nights there ! We were enchanted with everything about the hotel ; the warm, cozy atmosphere, the fascinating history, the thoughtful & courteous staff, and the simply delicious food that the house chef & staff cooked for us each day. Do yourself a favour and try their seafood chowder & fresh bread - it can't be beat !
