Great stay!
We stayed here for 1 night as a stop over to Belfast.
Room was comfortable, a little hot but they supplied us with a fan when we asked.
Ate in the bar, food was beautiful and very reasonable.
Grounds are lovely and well kept.
It was recommended by a friend and we were delighted with our stay.

The older smaller rooms were small and the shower bathroom didn't seem very clean The staff was lovely and welcoming. And the tour given by Sharon was exceptional and informative!
