Built in 1625, Ballygally Castle boasts original features and scenic views of Ballygally Bay. Set on the Antrim Coast, there is free parking, spacious rooms and a beautiful walled garden.
The individual rooms at Ballygally are elegantly decorated, and many offer impressive sea views and original beams. All rooms have tea and coffee facilities and a cosy seating area.
Said to be haunted, the 4-star Ballygally Castle Hotel has a Ghost Room and atmospheric dungeon. There is also a large garden and terrace, and a lounge with an open fire and antique furniture.
Set within the castle walls, The Garden Restaurant overlooks the grounds and serves a modern British menu for lunch and evening dining. Afternoon teas and morning coffee are also available.
Just 2 miles from Cairndhu Golf Course, Larne centre and Ferry Terminal are a 10-minutes drive away. Overlooking the Irish Sea, The Ballygally is just 40 minutes from central Belfast.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
