Thank you for your kind comments

4 out of 5
The pub is 800 years old so expect floors in rooms to be uneven but has lots of character. Staff were very friendly throughout our 2 night stay in a double room. Our room was above bar so very noisy first night but this was also due to the public holiday for the 12th July marches - the second night was quieter. The room was extremely hot and stuffy though as central heating didn’t turn off until late at night so we had to leave bathroom door open to try to get air flow. Room was compact but all that is needed is a comfortable bed and size of room less important. Dobbins Inn is close to eating places but as a pub meals available here too. Breakfast was included and a big choice from porridge to bacon and eggs, with self serve cereal and yoghurt/fresh fruit. Right across from Carrickfergus castle. Parking outside but payable at certain times of the week/day.

Nice hotel near the port and castle

Pros: Well located and friendly staff. Comfortable bed and good breakfasts
Cons: Remove the bath and have a shower
Location: Walking distance to port and historic castle. Close to railway station where train can be caught to Belfast
We enjoyed our stay and appreciated hearing about the hotel history from staff and local residents.
