We had to find a B&B in a hurry to enable us to visit a sick relative and decided on this one from the reviews. We were not disappointed. The owners, Raymond and Heather, couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly and gave... More

We stayed at this guesthouse as we were attending a wedding at a local hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, nicely decorated and the beds were really comfortable. We had a fantastic breakfast the following morning (orange, cereal and ulster fry). A superb guesthouse.

Great location with plenty amenities to keep the kids ammused with a Cinema and McDonalds not 50 yards away. The couple that owned the place could not... More

I have stayed here two times and highly recommend The Keep to anyone travelling here. The rooms are very comfortable and cozy, the staff are great and very helpful, giving tips on activities and things to do locally. Very easy to travel toward Belfast or the other route along the coastal road since the main road is close to go... More

I stay in many guest houses around Europe with work and the keep is up there with the best and very reasonably priced. Really nice couple that own it and the room was clean, spacious and well presented. The breakfasts are amazing too! If you are staying in carrickfergus stay here, even if your a royal! :)

The hosts were generous and knowledgeable and made sure we were well looked after. If you are no good with stairs make sure you ask... More
