Only used the pub part of the establishment. But a pub full of character. With reasonably priced food and seemed to be well used by the locals, which is always a good sign. Just a short walk from the railway station with its excellent links to Belfast.

Called in today for lunch. Great selection and service superb. Food freshly prepared, tasty and great value. Staff are helpful,friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Would I return?? Yes, without a doubt. Few other pubs/restaurants in Carrickfergus could learn a few lessons from here.

Once again another lovely meal, we were with my parents this time who both enjoyed their meals, they also commented on how friendly and helpful the staff were. My husband had the Mexican burger and has not stopped talking about it, and hopes it goes on the new menu.

My wife and I booked a Saturday night stay. Our double room was a little bit on the small side, however the bathroom was spacious. You accessed the bathroom with 3 steep steps and guide rails were offered if required. Not an issue for us, but someone with restricted mobility could struggle. The building is hundreds of years old, so... More
