Small, family run hotel, close to ferries. Bar food with guest cask ales lovingly served by the owner, Chris. Winner of a N. Ireland CAMRA certificate. Friendly locals and a relaxed atmosphere. Look out for the postcards. Sadly the six shooter has gone because of Dunblane. Now being refurbished. Handy stopping off point in either direction - may be closed afternoons.

Country house hotel situated in its own grounds at the end of the town (just after the garage). Good beers, excellent food and a children's certificate. Quiet and relaxing. Good food in the bar or lounge eating area at the rear. Comfortable lounge and a restaurant to the side.
The Laurie Arms Hotel

Comfortable & friendly country inn with children's certificate. Good food and great guest beers - the boss has every right to be proud of his beer conditioning. Lovely village straddling the river. This is not now a hotel but they can guide you to places to stay. Restaurant to one side, bar with large fire, lounge and games room at the other. Check out the seaside postcards in the toilets.

A bar with a roaring fire, two small lounges with aircraft photographs from RAF bases. Narrow stairs lead up to the bedrooms. Good accommodation, but book well in advance. Very large restaurant with a non smoking section overlooking a very old graveyard where interred are the many bodies from local shipwrecks. Excellent meals served by friendly staff. (See my red car?).
