Had the foresight to book dinner reservations given there is not much around there. The dinner dishes were a bit bland. Odd that they did not have the Red Malt Vinegar. They provide distilled white vinegar for the fish and chips. Server said it was "distilled malt vinegar." Service was very good in the restaurant and hotel otherwise.

We had our tour finale dinner there, which was ordered off a pre-set menu, and it was very good. The next morning, we had a traditional Irish Breakfast buffet, and it was one of the better ones we had during our 13 days in Ireland. Service was also very good for both dinner and breakfast. Not sure what restaurants are around in Ballygally, but eating at the hotel turned out to be a convenient and good option.

Just a brief review of the restaurant. We only had a small dinner, a large chowder and and a chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. The chowder was especially noteworthy. At 18 euros it was not cheap, but it really was a filling meal. The bowl was absolutely loaded with clam, and if I remember correctly a lot of other seafood. One of the best, if not the best, chowder I've ever had.

The rambling hotel with never ending spaces and types of rooms were inviting and provided plenty of room. There were local activities and frankly the hotel acts like a community center.

Thank you for making us feel welcome and well fed!

We'd worried nothing would be open & we planned a long drive back to Dublin later that evening. Most of the patrons seemed to be staying in the hotel, but the pub was lively, with several groups and families. The bar staff was efficient for only two. The "Crispy Confit of Duck Leg nestled on Champ and braised Red Cabbage drizzled with a sweet Chilli Sauce" was amazing. I didn't think I was into duck confit or braised red cabbage but this unassuming establishment changed my mind. If I'm ever in northern Northern Ireland again, I will revisit.

The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and sweet touches all around to give a sense of home. The coffee machine was excellent and there was a atray of goodies on the desk, sweetners, cookies, teas, cups, milk packets and probably more that I can't think of. We felt quite spoiled. Our view was lovely as well. And our bathroom had wonderful space, and a nice shower with good pressure. We visited the bar several times, and always got very good service and good pours. The restaurant was very good as well. We had dinner twice and breakfast twice. All of our meals were delightful. One of my favorite dishes was the mushroom toast, I had it both nights with no regrets. If you are in Islay, this hotel has everything you need for a great visit!

The dining room was cosy and there were other diners but you didn't feel as though you were being overheard by anyone. The menu was extensive and I would highly recommend the monkfish.

Although I did find the Carrick -a-rede rope bridge and Dunluce Castle slightly more interesting The causeway is a nice stop for a midday meal particularly because they allow you to use your parking pass for a rebate on the restaurant bill. Just remember to bring your stub in. Ireland is not really known I think for its iced coffee drinks so probably steer clear of ordering an Iced latte. Not horrible, but not great. The food however, was pretty tasty. We got the Carmelized onion and goat cheese tart And the Pan seared Rockville farm chicken. Both were done well, and the price is paid. If you can eat in the back of the restaurant, it probably has slightly more character as the front has windows only looking out to the parking lot. Parking is free for guest of the hotel. Otherwise you pay 10 pounds.

We got a triple room with terrace, and the terrace overlooks grazing pastures and a breathtaking coastal cliff trail.

A great place to stay if you want to see Giant's Causeway and also a nice "home base" if you want to explore Northern Ireland.
