What Our Guests Think

I stayed here three nights. If I were to return and be within 100 miles of this place I would stay here again. Great location. Great bar. Wonderful restaurant – do yourself a favor and have the steak special. It’s a Wonderful ancient old building with layers of history. Loved the room. Friendly staff that were informative, engaging, and helpful. Close to the Castle, church and all necessities. You will be happy to stay here

We always come to Dobbins for our breakfast when we are visiting Carrickfergus. A large breakfast is only £6 - a bargain - and has all the staples of a traditional Irish/Ulster fry. Wonderful service as always!

Lovely Sunday lunch with family. Very well looked after by Charlie; she was a total star and made sure we were all happy. Food was fantastic and great value. Would definitely recommend it for a great meal with family and friends.
