Enjoyable one night stay
Pros:

I only stayed one night, while returning to the ferry port at larne after a motorbike trip. Room was spacious and bright, and bathroom was large and appeared to have been recently upgraded. Although I was the only guest staying, breakfast was well presented with a good choice both in hot and cold selections.
There was a good selection of bar meals available in the evening. Secure car park was a bonus.
