Excellent from start to finish, every single member of staff was a credit to you. Lovely hotel, fantastic pool/Jacuzzi/sauna, great food and a lovely bar to sit and enjoy a few drinks. Booked this just to let us get to an early ferry easily but it genuinely added on a very valued and enjoyable night to our Holiday.

One night stay

We spend one night in the hotel as we were booked on an early ferry. We booked a family room and this was located in the lodge at the back of the hotel. It had a small car park outside the lodge which was handy. The room was split into two sleeping areas which was a nice surprise. The rooms are very dates and rundown and in need of upgrade. The staff I met were very friendly and helpful.
Suzanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very unique and traditional style There’s a lot of history to the once house and now hotel. The dining area is spectacular. The pub is loaded with atmosphere We loved the walk by the water and through town
Jenneen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely stay, nice big room overlooking the bay, if a bit dated. Food in restaurant was excellent but the portion size was way too big, my husband and I couldn’t finish our meal, so on the second night we only had starters.

North West Castle Hotel

Lovely clean room, we had dinner in the hotel which was excellent as was breakfast the following morning. The hotel is a little old fashioned & dated but we really enjoyed our stay and couldn’t fault anything. Didn’t have time to use the facilities but the swimming pool looked very good.

Unedible food

My wife and I had a meal, I had fish and chips, and the fish was unedible,The batter was so hard I struggled to put a knife through it, could not believe they served food which was so evident that it was overcooked
