We were visiting the Causeway coastal route, which was spectacular, and chose to stay in Ballymena rather than moving every couple of days around the coast. This allowed us to visit the Glens of Antrim nature-trails & forests as well as the coast. The Oranmore was central, convenient and very welcoming. Our pre meal drinks in the lounge was relaxed before an amazing evening meal that was fresh, homemade and great choice. Breakfast was also fresh and v filling (especially the pancakes that were fab). The room was perfect and so quiet. The family and staff who run the Oranmore were so friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Would I recommend - definitely; would I return - definitely.

Not having enough time to try all the desserts!

Location was excellent as we were attending a wedding in a nearby hotel. Staff were lovely. Rooms were great - we were in an annex and the two rooms were beside each other in a little ‘suite’ with a corner sofa, large flat screen TV, tea/coffee toasting facilities, fridge, iron and sink. Complimentary water and tea & coffee facilities were available in each bedroom. Rooms were a good size, plenty of electrical sockets, comfortable beds & bedding and lovely bathrooms. Some furniture and carpet in ‘suite’ area was a little dated. Our only negative was the quality of the breakfast - the soda and potato bread were very undercooked and the egg was tiny. The sausage also wasn’t very nice, but plenty of tea & coffee in large pots on the table. The mixes fruit and berries was very fresh. The grounds are lovely and well maintained, but there was dog poop at the edge of the garden when we arrived and was still there when we left the next morning.

Breakfast Dog poop

What was not to like? The surroundings are beautiful, the hosts and staff are all delightful, it was peaceful and private. The food, what can I say? This really was the best breakfast. Fresh eggs from their own chickens. Nothing was too much, accommodating and made you feel so welcome. Our room was lovely, proper tea cups for tea. Spacious, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. I really could go on and on. I really enjoyed my room, it was the Sheridan suit and it was right by the chickens. I found their gentle clucking very relaxing and the garden views were beautiful. I arrived pretty late in the night and my host was still ready to greet me with a warm smile and quickly showed me to my room. I would and probably will stay here again and again, and I highly recommend this lovely guest house.

I cannot find any faults. This is a beautiful, comfortable, clean and welcoming guest house. They have everything you could want and a little bit more. Delightful place.

We were attending a wedding at Tullyglass Hotel so the location was absolutely perfect. We actually walked home from the wedding events on the evening of. It's such a beautiful hotel/b&b tucked away in a quiet location surrounded by lovely gardens. The staff were friendly and the room was perfect. It had a nice regal feel to it and the garden views were so pretty. The breakfast was farm to table with the eggs coming from the chickens located on the grounds. I would highly recommend Oranmore to anyone staying in the Ballymena area.

Really good breakfast options, unfortunately we were at a wedding the night before so didn't take full advantage but the food coming out looked good. Bed was comfy, room was spacious. Fine enough stay.

The bed had a weird wooden overhang at the end of it which seemed completely unnecessary. We both walked into it during the night and ended up with bad bruises on our legs. It would maybe be easier to have a key for the door to the cottages, rather than a code as it was quite fiddly and we had to get help.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff were wonderful, our room was very comfortable, and we had a great breakfast. The house is beautifully furnished and the grounds are lovely. We also had dinner at the Oranmore and it was probably the best meal we had during our two weeks in Ireland (and we had some great meals!). Just make sure to ask the hosts for exact directions as google sends you in to the rear neighbors driveway (they were very gracious about redirecting us but it must be an irritation for them).

Everything! We flew over for our friends wedding and we more then happy with our room! Everything by was spotlessly clean, the beds where super comfy, honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The staff here are just fabulous, nothing is too much, and they are more than happy to advise you of the best places to visit around the area. The highlight of the weekend has to be meeting Nutmeg and Ginger the resident kittens, if I could have taken them home I would have done♥️

This shouldn’t even be an option on here!

The venue, location , staff and The BREAKFAST , were outstanding. A great spot that we will no doubt use again

Double deluxe Rooms to the back can be a bit noisy with doors closing and people moving up and down the stairs so maybe consider one of the rooms inside the main building.Bed was small and not the most comfortable but after a long day at a wedding we made the most of it. The breakfast alone made up for this 😂

Location was perfect! Dinner was superb; breakfast was wonderful. Staff is very personable and caring. It was relaxing to walk the grounds. We enjoyed visiting with staff and other guests in the lounge as well as the gazebo.

As with other accommodations throughout our travels in Ireland, the bathroom was lacking a counter.

This accommodation is nestled by lovely in mature grounds with colourful flowerbeds, trees and plenty of outdoor seating. There was even a hen-house which kept the baby entertained. Both Dinner and breakfast were amazing; generous portions, tasty and well presented. I'd highly recommend this place for a night away. It was out 1st time travelling with an infant and the staff were so accommodating. Lovely to stay in a family run accommodation, full of charm and character.
