Charming old seaside hotel

Lovely old hotel in a quaint coastal town with a link to Churchill (who sold the hotel in the 1920s.)

This was our first stopover on the Giants Causeway coastal route. It was comfortable and welcoming, in a pleasant spot opposite a charming harbour. The room was spacious and the evening meal was very enjoyable.

We loved the hotel and the history behind it. Staff was very kind and helpful! Carnlough has a beautiful harbor and there were at least 3 pubs within a 2 minute walking distance! Perfect location in the heart of the beautiful Antrim Coastal area!

The Londonderry Arms is an old fashioned hotel (originally a coaching inn), with an interesting history. The bedrooms we had were very spacious and comfortable, if a little hot. The bathroom would benefit from a little sprucing up, but was spotless and the bath itself huge! Evening meal and breakfast were both excellent, and all staff helpful and friendly.

You get what's expected of a 3star hotel. Could do with a lick of paint inside and out. But great staff and atmosphere throughout. Beds very comfortable and walk in shower was fantastic. Food excellent both in the bar/restaurant and at breakfast.

El hotel es muy usado para eventos por lo que el estacionamiento puede estar muy lleno y en nuestro caso nos restringieron el uso del restaurante hasta después de las 19:00hrs y con reserva. No hay elevador en el hotel y es un laberinto de escaleras. En nuestro cuarto se descompuso la calefacción y no se podía apagar y era un día caluroso. No nos cambiaron de cuarto, tuvimos que abrir la ventana sin mejoras y pasamos una pésima estancia por el calor.

Good hotel. Would stay again.

Service throughout our stay was friendly, professional, prompt and helpful. Room was huge. Period furnishings- maybe a little worn. Two double beds which were super comfy. Slept like a log. Lots of storage space and two comfy chairs and coffee table to sit and relax with drinks - ice and glasses courtesy of bar. Small television, hairdryer and kettle with tea, coffee, etc. Bathroom large with shower over bath. Single faucets on sink with H and C worn off. Hot too hot to use alone and so cold unless you want to fill the sink to get your own warm water. Good shower pressure and selection of toiletries provided. Lovely bar area with good service, atmosphere and live music. Breakfast service was great but produce on the poor side. Sausage was synthetic tasting and bacon dry and tasteless like cardboard. Easily could be improved to get higher rating. Location is excellent in the centre with free parking. Would definitely stay again.
