“This hotel stands out with its unusual amenity: a dedicated indoor curling rink that draws both national and international events. The combination of family-friendly leisure facilities, including a pool and games room, alongside historical touches, makes it an appealing base. I think the location near the ferry terminal offers a practical advantage for those traveling to and from Northern Ireland.”

The spa was disappointing. i found the hot tub water cloudy, it did not look clean. the hotel overall feels quite outdated, and the room had a musty smell. it seemed like stepping back in time. Not in a good way.

vintage style dinner menu
The dining room impressed me with its vintage style. The ship themed bar had great character. My room included good, warm appointments. The breakfast and dinner menus offered a very good selection.
Carpets on the stairway looked a little tired, and they were threadbare in patches.
