    My wife and I attended our wonderful friends wedding nuptials at The Ballygally Castle. This is a delightful hotel with lots of character and dates back to 1625. It is part of the locally owned and run Hastings Hotels. On arrival we mingled whilst waiting to enter the Kintyre Ballroom for the wedding registration ceremony. The room was well decorated and the ceremony was short and well conducted. After the pictures we retired to the hotel lobby and had drinks whilst the room was prepared for the dinner. This gave us time to explore the hotel and learn about the history. There is also a Game of Thrones door in the hotel. The bride and groom looked super!! The weather was kind and we were able to take a walk in the well manicured and mature gardens, which sported a river flowing into the sea and various other features. By now we had built up a healthy appetite and it was time to be seated and tuck into a very well cooked and presented 5 course meal. For starters there was a lovely Caesars Salad then Butternut squash and sweet potato soup served with a warm soft wheaten muffin. The first two course were amazing and set the standard for the mains. For mains we both had the chicken, potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was succulent and vegetables al dented and mash was perfect. Service was exceptional and staff very attentive and professional. For dessert there was lemon tart and profiteroles, again an amazing sweet. After the cake cutting and speeches we had our coffee and cake in the lobby. Ballygally Castle is famous for the resident ghost, so we went to the ghost room to see if we could spot her.......and we........ didn't see or feel her!!!!! Maybe you will?? Finally the evening entertainment started and the DJ played a wide range of tracks and we danced for a while, relaxed, chatted and thoroughly enjoyed it!!! After a snack of fish and chips it was home to relieve the babysitter!!!

    Hubby got me an afternoon tea for 2 voucher as part of my Christmas present. Booked for Feb 3rd with my friend. The table was perfect, right at the window with a good view. But I truly don't think it was worth £18pp. Sandwiches were made on stale/hard bread - not quite the delicate, decadent afternoon tea sandwiches you expect. If I can make nicer sandwiches at home, you've already lost. Plus? There was an odd number of sandwiches - were we supposed to fight to the death to win the last one? 1 of each of the 3 flavours each. 1 of each of the 3 flavours left over. Fight it out. Chicken and egg ones were lovely but I wasn't fussed on the ham and mustard. Butter was rock hard and the scones weren't hot enough to melt it. Wasn't fussed on the blamange but the macaroons were good. Lemon tarts were good, meringues were good. Not a drop of chocolate in sight though. I paid €25 pp in Donegal just after Christmas for a much better spread than here. I was really disappointed.

    Pros: Excellent service, attentive restaurant and bar staff. Great Real Coal Fireplace, with sea view - comfortable and romantic, could snooze here for the rest of the day. Cons: Very pricey , £10.00 for a small burguer, £3.40 for a pint of Guinness.

    Some wee spot! Was here for Porkys wedding- had a cracking Time. Friendly staff, great service and top notch hotel rooms! The food was delicious and they serve a lovely wee pint of guinness or 15 for a great nights craic. If you plan in getting married - you should have it here. Lethal! I Would comment on the breakfast but I was too hungover- probably delish though!

    Decoration in the Mens' WC in the Tower not sure what it is.
