Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely.hotel, beautiful views, very easily accessed from Larne and Belfast, friendly staff
Negative: The Lite Bites in the bar were very disappointing; the prawn cocktail in the restaurant for dinner was defrosted frozen prawns that had no flavour whatsoever, and was basically sitting in water. The marie rose sauce was a watery pink concoction. The waiter did take the cost of this off our bill as it was essentially inedible
Summary: Mixed feelings
