The hotel was situated just round the corner from Carrickfergus Castle, close to all the bus and rail links, making it a convenient location. The rooms were small and dark with some noise issues due to the Skylight. The evening meal was delicious and excellent value for money, but the dining experience overall was a bit disappointing. The set heating ensured a warm room upon arrival, and the staff were lovely, very helpful, and personable.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were small but very comfortable, overlooking the High Street where some noise could be heard late in the evening as locals made their way home from the pub. The amenities like hot water and a variety of beverages added to the comfort. However, the room was a bit drab and noisy at times.

I found the hotel to be conveniently located in Carrickfergus Town Centre with easy access to Belfast for car rental return. The rooms, although in need of some improvements and situated at the top requiring some stairs climbing, were comfortable. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful. The dining experience offered well-cooked meals and fresh produce, with the added bonus of being right beside the beautiful castle. While the facilities could benefit from upgrading, the location on the stunning Belfast Lough was brilliant for exploring the Antrim coastal causeway route.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, right opposite the castle and close to all the bus and rail links, making it easy to explore. The rooms, although needing an update, were unique being in a listed building, but I did experience a chill as it was February. The service was friendly and efficient overall, though I had some issues with the shower taking a while to heat up. The evening meal was delicious and a great value for money, but there were some cleanliness concerns with the water jug. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a mixed opinion on the breakfast setup, yet I enjoyed the traditional Irish/Ulster fry. The facilities were average but could do with improvements.

The hotel is located perfectly opposite the castle with easy access to bus and rail links. The rooms, although small, were expected, but a bit cool in February due to the listed building. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were loud smokers under the window. The dining experience offered a good traditional Irish/Ulster fry at a bargain price. The convenient location and live music on Fridays were major highlights.

My stay at Dobbins Inn was a mixed experience. The hotel is rich in history and conveniently located in Carrickfergus, a small coastal suburb. The ongoing restoration was fascinating, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. However, the room had a view of walls and boarded-up doors, and the shower took ages to heat up, making it a bit chilly at times.
