Welcome to Ballygally Castle
Ballygally Castle Enchanting escapes, every day.
They say location is everything, and if so Ballygally Castle has it all! Sitting proudly on the scenic Antrim coast, only 26 miles from Belfast, the 400 year old castle is the only 17th century building still used as a residence in Northern Ireland today.
This 4 star hotel has recently undergone a major refurbishment and is the finest hotel on the famous Causeway Coastal Route. Its tasteful contemporary décor, combined with the traditional character of the hotel, adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
The hotel is reputedly haunted by a friendly ghost, Lady Isabella, and brave guests can visit the “ghost room” in the tower!
Visitors should note that GBP £ sterling is the principal currency.
