We stayed in the rear of the hotel called the Beach House for two nights and the room was clean and comfortable. We spent the first night without tea making facilities as the tray with this was in the wardrobe and we weren’t told. Going off to sleep was difficult as there was a constant droning noise from what may be a plant room underneath and/or an air con unit just outside the room window ! We got around this on the second night by using ear plugs as asking for a room move was not an option as the hotel was full. The restaurant for both breakfast and evening meals was very good and the staff attentive. We would stay again only in the sea front part of the hotel.

This trip was to be a surprise for my wife. I had booked a sea view room and only apon arrival was told that there had been a mix up between the Marine hotel and Hotels.com and in fact there was no sea view room. The room we got faced out onto a roundabout on a busy road. We were given a difference refund but this did not make up for the disappointed of not having the sea view room. A member of staff had contacted me on Thursday to confirm covet information and also to ask about wether we wa ted a double or twin beds but did not indicate at that point there was an issue with the room. Whilst the food was of a very high standard I felt extremely let down and would not stay at the Marine Hotel Ballycastle agai
