“An ancient castle with contemporary interiors located on the coast 40-mins from Belfast. Rooms vary in size but each has had a complete overhaul leaving a simple, modern and fresh feel. The restaurant serves hearty local dishes and there's a pretty walled garden outside. Well priced and laidback.”
