It is rare to find a family room which accommodates a family of 6, (4 single beds - bunks, and a large double) so we immediately booked this hotel when we saw it. The room was clean, spacious and the inclusion of a few accessories for your dog (if you choose to bring them) is a lovely touch. The bar and restaurant are lovely and food was fantastic. The staff were really friendly too.

The sound proofing in the rooms off the car park are poor. It sounded like we had a herd of elephants upstairs and at one point I genuinely thought the ceiling was going to come down on top of us. Unfortunately this continued late into the night and started again early in the morning, so we didn’t get much sleep.

This place us just brilliant. We visit the area once a year to come to the NW200 racing. We always stay some along the North Coast but this was the first time in Ballintoy. The Fullerton Arms offers spacious, comfortable rooms. With lovely bathrooms and plenty of storage, food is amazing, beer is kept well, staff are friendly and very good at their jobs. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again. 2nd to none is how I'd describe this place. 👌

I genuinely couldn't fault The Fullerton Arms if I tried, not even constructive criticism. Faultless.

I had the most amazing experience here. The staff was the best ever !!!! I was not able to reach the hostel that I booked on time because it was past 11 and this place was close by so I decided to go there. It was already super late and their doors were closed too but I called and a guy answered and let me in. He was a night porter and did not know how to check me in but he video called his manager and made it happen for me. He was super nice and even carried my bags up to my room for me. He let me know that if I needed anything, I just had to ask. They rooms were really nice and clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower gel was really high quality that smelled amazing. They even let me extend my checkout time by a hour because I was so tired from my long drive the night before. Highly recommend this place.

Great location for Giants Causeway; Carrick a Rede and coastal drives. The pub and food is great. We had a family unit in the outside building. Good room size- large double bed was comfy and good bathroom/ shower. Part of the room is subdivided into a 4 bunk bed unit. Convenient for families.

If the weather is bad and you are stuck inside it’s not great- quite dark and it opens straight onto the car park. In the ground floor flat the soundproofing is poor. Noise from upstairs - children banging- was loud; though just adults the next night was fine.

The staff were lovely; friendly and on the ball. Dog friendly everywhere! The food was divine, which we ate while sitting on an armchair by the fire. The rooms spotless and comfortable. Incredible scenery, and the locals we bumped into were really friendly. I will go back. A 20 minute drive to the lovely town of Colraine (which has shops aplenty!)

It's not that I didn't like it, but there's no local newsagent, so buy munchies on your journey there.

Perfect for what myself and my friend needed. We wanted to be close to the coast and Ballintoy Harbour for a NY day wild swim. Fullerton Arms was lovely, warm and welcoming with a very nice room. Super comfortable beds and good food. I'm a vegan so was surprised at the presence of vegan food for such a small village and it was one of the reasons I chose this place. Although the rooms were above the bar and it was NYE we heard no noise at all.

Nothing. It was all good.

Room was great and the cleaner was fabulous Niamh and Helen great hosts and another lady didn’t catch her name but super friendly and helpful

It didn’t seem like the full menu, compared to what’s on their website not end of the world The hall stair carpet was filthy, (not the cleaners fault) it needed a pro job on it and regularly done,

This is a hotel my partner and I have stayed in a number of times and we have always had a great time. Its clean, great location, friendly staff and cosy.

When we arrived we were given a room in the annex and it was very dark, small and the TV didnt work. We asked to get changed and they did, but we were very disappointed in that room and it mared the experience slightly.

Loved the location. The room was clean and very modern (I really loved the design of the room, one of the nicest I've ever stayed in). Bed was big and very comfortable, bathroom was clean. Grabbed a meal in the bar and it was tasty. Car park at the rear was full (and being power washed) but there was plenty of spaces on the street out front.

This is a once off complaint - but the night I was staying there were two lads power washing the car park at the rear of the property. They continued this until 1am! As we were in the middle of a heat wave, I had to keep the window open. I tried to get an early night and hit the hay at 10pm, but the sound of them power washing woke me up a few times. Very bizarre that this was allowed. They finally stopped around 1am. Slept grand afterwards. My only other complaint is that the room doors could really do with a soft close, as there was a lot of banging doors in the corridor.

The room was very new, modern and clean. There was a comfortable double bed, a table with a chair and a toilet. There were also blankets and towels and everything worked properly. There was a parking behind the building. Also, there was no noise, it was a calm place and you could see the sea from the window of the room. There is a restaurant in which you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with an extra cost. Apart from that, there is a room decorated with Game of Thrones elements which is quite nice for fans of the series to take pictures in it.

When we did the check-in we had to search a waiter from the restaurant and they spent almost no time with us, seeming to be in a rush. They asked us to book breakfast without telling us that it was not included.
