We did a one night stay here, driving up from Dublin we were spending the day between the Ulster Transport Museum and the Giant's Causeway. Didn't spend too long in the hotel and had booked it based on a good deal but we ended up being really pleasantly surprised. Had a lovely big room with separate couch area, which was... More

Enjoyed our one night stay. The lounge area was lovely to have a drink on a rainy day and the evening meal was lovely. The room was very comfortable although we had a few niggles with very creaky floors above and a lot of tv noise coming from a neighbouring room. Apart from that the hotel was a delight.

I have been using the Ballygally for the last few years on business and normally for a number of nights at a time. The setting by the sea is fabulous whether its winter or summer, the hotel facilities including the rooms are immaculately clean and most are large and spacious but the thing that sets this hotel aside from all...

I won a night at this lovely hotel as part of a raffle prize. I tried to book a Saturday but they were fully booked all through the summer which is a good sign. The hotel is part of the Hastings group and if I am brutally honest it's the forgotten cousin. However it only disappointed on a superficial level,... More

Rooms well equipped with huge beds and soft bedlinen. Plumbing needs attention, shower came to a halt during morning peak hours which was unpleasant.... More

I recently spent 2 nights in Ballygally Castle. Overall the stay was very enjoyable. However there were some disappointments: Very poor sound-proofing in rooms No black out blinds on windows Relatively poor breakfast selection Free wifi only available in public areas.

Stayed here when attending a family wedding reception. The hotel is in a great location with views across the water to Scotland. The food provided at the wedding reception was tasty and appreciated after a long day. The room was very spacious and clean with a large, comfortable bed (I think it was two singles joined together). The bedroom was... More
