Ballygally Castle  

There is a welcome, informal feel to this hotel as soon as you walk through the door. The rooms are spacious and bright and very clean. The situation, just a road-width away from the Antrim coastline, is worth the visit alone.

Restaurant is ok but choice not great and staff a little inexperienced and unwilling to come forward to take orders for food and drink.

Very scenic setting overlooking the sea and mountains/gardens at the back. Try to find time to wander around the Hotel gardens, which were very quiet and spiritual when I was there.The staff are exceleent, the food is truly delicious and very well presented. I cannot fault this hotel.

The Hotel was lovely quiet and peaceful with beautiful gardens to the rear of the Hotel and seaviews to the front. The Hotel had its own resident Ghost in the Tower of the Castle which was quite interesting their buffett style breakfast was nice and had a wide variety to choose from.

Although the buffet style breakfast was nice it could have been a bit warmer and on the second morning of entering the breakfast room there were no members of staff around to take your tea or coffee order unlike the morning before they all seemed to be too busy chatting amongst themselves in the kitchen to look to see if any guests had arrived for their breakfast.

Location was excellent for touring Antrim coast; bedrooms are spacious, bed massive.All staff are local and very friendly and professional.

Loved the setting of the castle and how peaceful it was,would definitely go back.

the restaurant was a bit expensive

Dinner in Ballygalley was awful. Well presented but tasteless food. Breakfast wasnt mush nicer. There was poor lighting in bedroom. Sheets on bed not properly made up.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in! Loved the Ghost Room and general atmosphere of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms are great. Very clean and spacious. Loved my stay!

The price for the hotel was excellent through booking.com. It was much more expensive if you called the hotel to book. Room was very comfortable and clean. Bed was huge (2 x singles put together though). Check in was done quickly and the room allocated to me was a lovely size.I Requested Ice and this was brought to my room so quickly....excellent service!! Although I have some small points to make this hotel was lovely and the setting is beautiful if you wish to explore the Antrim Coast. When I book next time I will arrive earlier to enjoy the view and restaurant!

The bed was comfortable but was let down by the sheets being too small and they did not tuck in so I ended up sleeping on the mattress by morning. The breakfast was very good except im glad we came down when it was quiet.....The buffet cart was in a small corner and the plates were roasting hot. You had to make your own toast also which takes 2 turns in the machine. Caused a bit of chaos at first cos people were reaching over eachother etc ......needs some fine tuning regarding set up. Also pastries were not covered and were sitting out (flies about) Just not what you wish to see.....I Also requested a seaview but did not get one (I did arrive later than expected so this wasnt the end of the world).

Comfortable room and good location

Amazing location on the very scenic Antrim Coast Road of Northern Ireland.....Have been to this Hotel 12 times and have been welll looked after every time...the staff are superb and the food in the historic dining room is always of an excellent standard..The rooms are so comfortable and very clean well kitted out and very spacious....My sister in America books me in each year for my Christmas present ... a two day stay with an evening meal on one of the nights, for me and my partner...can,t wait for my next one !!

The staff were very friendly and happy to assist in any way possible.

The one thing that did not match the general standard for the rest of the hotel was the breakfast. The food was luke warm at best and if it were not for the hot plates it would have been freezing. Of our stay this was the only negative.

The staff was wonderful; the location is great especially if taking the ferry to Scotland and the food quality is very good.

Lovely room number 204. Good food. Relaxed atmosphere.

We would like the soup to be thicker!
