Nothing

Booking should be sued for false advertising. While the town is stated, someone looking at mileage proximity is severely misleaded.

Historically beautiful inn with attentive host and excellent breakfast.

10.0

This historic inn is beautifully restored and decorated, with stunning grounds overlooking the harbour. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional.

Everything was perfect. We were there on a very hot day, it would have been nice to have a shaded area near the water to enjoy the view out of the sun.

It was a beautiful Inn, close to Belfast and we were able to travel to many coastal towns. Dawn was a fine host, anticipating travelers needs.

The only thing was our room was a bit small
