Myself and my wife had an excellent overnight stay on Friday. The hotel staff are brilliant, welcoming and very friendly. Our room was at the back of this lovely hotel overlooking the hills and was very nice. Very clean and comfortable. Large and a great bathroom with very large shower. As a whiskey hotel it certainly did not disappoint. The wee bar was great. Both the barman Declan and general manager Paul were very nice and very knowledgeable about the whiskey. Took time to speak with us and Paul showed myself around the new projects presently started within the hotel. It is simply a whiskey lovers paradise. The amount of choice is phenomenal. I tried the Friends at Hand flight, four tasters of whiskey which was extremely nice and explained not only by the tasting notes provided but also by Declan. We also had dinner in the adjoining bar which was excellent before returning to the wee bar for more drinks and whiskey. Breakfast was in a charming room and again was very good. I can’t praise the staff enough for their attention, friendliness and whiskey knowledge. We will certainly return and hope too also spend a night in the future with my whiskey loving mates.

Fantastic experience. Well informed staff. Great breakfast. Unique whiskey offering - try the house pours!! Beautiful decor and furniture. Excellent Guinness. Comfy beds & spacious rooms. Quaint little town by the sea. We would recommend this hotel.

Special Birthday lunch but totally underwhelming bland food. Looked pale and anaemic and we both had the champ and whiskey chicken with sauce and onion rings. The onion rings were crispy but the pale meal boring and lacked flavour. Service was below average and very basic. No pleasantries or friendly welcome. We were both so disappointed and this was a special birthday

Great place to stay, delicious food, clean, friendly staff. Stayed a Saturday night, great atmosphere and a warm welcome. Hotel and especially the bedrooms are exquisitely decorated. Real attention to detail. Cofy and spacious rooms with all expected amenities. Comfy bed and soft linen. Everything was clean. Great location to explore & free parking. Could easily stay 5 nights as a Base to explore local and afar. Irelands first whiskey hotel did not disappoint in the variety of whiskies and eerything else. Delicious Irish Coffee. Definitely a destination in itself. Very tasty food, we had fish & chips and daube of beef. Great entertainment enjoyed as part of the whiskey festival. A variety of items available to order at breakfast but the full breakfast fry was hard not to order so we had it and enjoyed it immensely.

Booked in as group of 8 Friday & Saturday nights for the whiskey event what a great weekend receptionists extremely helpful on arrival our room was beautiful and immaculately clean bathroom amazing. The whiskey event itself was even better than we could have hoped for extremely well organised and very generous samples and great selection on offer we ate both nights in the hotel restaurant the food was amazing nice sized portions and reasonably priced.we had breakfast both mornings and once again the food was exceptional fantastic choice all made fresh to order (not buffet) one thing we noticed was how friendly and helpful all the staff where from the minute we arrived until we checked out they couldn't do enough for us nothing was any bother to them .this was our first time in The harbour view. We will definitely stay again well done everyone 10 out of 10 thanks for making our stay so enjoyable Ray & Yvonne

My sister and I had spent the day visiting the stunning Antrim area. We hadn't booked a table and although they were busy, managed to seat us for an early evening meal. We both chose fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce. It was fantastic. Very fresh, a light batter, and so tasty. We had eaten at The Ivy the night before, and thought the food was OK. The Harbourview food was far better. to the chef.
