Hotels Near National Trust - Glenoe in Larne

My son and his fiancé got Married last Thursday at Rayanne House and from start to finish the day was just perfect. Bernie and every member of staff were outstanding. The ceremony was outside and the space was beautifully decorated. The food and wine and cocktails just perfect and the bedrooms all different and so comfortable. Breakfast next morning once again was so good with loads of choice I would highly recommend.

We stayed here for the weekend of our wedding anniversary and it was a lovely hotel. From the minute we set foot at reception, we found the staff to be efficient and friendly. The hotel has a nice bar area too and its about a 2 minute walk from all the attractions of the cathedral quarter. The standard room was great. It was Clean, modern and quiet. All the usual hotel things like tv, en-suite (which again was clean and the shower was great). Our room was at the back of the hotel and while not a fantastic view, it was nice to see the H&W cranes in the distance and despite a busy road outside and a railway line, the noise was minimal. Breakfast was nice although the only option for the eggs were scrambled, however im sure if I'd asked they'd have done me a poached or fried egg. Its a buffet style breakfast and if I have only one criticism, its that it wasnt topped up as well as it could be. The staples like bacon etc were topped up, but pastries and the continental selection were kind of sp**** and not topped up each morning we were there. That aside, there was plenty to eat and drink and a nice touch is the takeout cups. It meant I could take a coffee on my travels which is great and saves a few quid from the coffee shops etc. I look forward to returning to the Ramada again as it was a lovely experience. Thank you also for the voucher for a glass of wine free for my wife and I because it was our anniversary. That was a lovely touch.

Hotel was nice and clean. A little on the expensive side for drinks. Breakfast was average and a expensive for the quality. The hotel restaurant ( la scala) was a whole different level. Food was amazing. Especially the lamb shank. My wife had the chicken which was done to perfection. If you are going for a quiet trip then this hotel might be for you. If you are going as part of a trip to Belfast City then it's very far out from the city. About 20 pounds in each direction.

Took my mother for a meal, table was prebooked. Inital impressions were good and then it just went down hill. Waited 45 minutes for 2 steak sandwhiches and the steak to be medium rare ( it was tough and over cooked and the chibta bread was like a brick), there was an issue with the order and it was addressed with the waiting staff, we were told ”what do you want me to do about it” a manger was asked for, no manger on site, however they could get the chef. Then told we are only all 17. I do not blame the waiting staff but no support no mangement to help. 3 tables a total of 6 people got food in 1 hour. No one was seating people it was a free forall. People waited that long they left. Would not recommend complete carnage

Stayed three nights for a netball tournament at the forum. Decent HIE. Diamond status nicely acknowledged and super friendly ladies on front desk. The burgers at the bar were very poor, but the breakfast is the best I’ve had at a HIE. Very close to shops at the retail park and only a short stroll into town.
