We have been staying this hotel since 1970s, and we also went there for our honeymoon 1981. The staff are so friendly and make our stay so nice and nothing seems to be a problem. The food and accommodation is always at a high standard ,and we would and have recommend this hotel to freinds.

It is some time since we last stayed at the NWC, but since our first visit around 30 years ago, one thing has stayed consistent, the friendly, helpful and enthusiastic local staff. The hotel has been operated by the same family for about 50 years and they have maintained the rather traditional furnishing and decor both in the lounges and... More

I was with a party at the NWC. The hotel is situated in overlooking the old ferry terminal (not the best view in town) and consists of an early 18th house to which numerous additions which do not enhance its appearance. Upon my entry I was put off by a 'foostie' smell and a reception area which lacked imagination (scuffed... More

When we arrived at the North West Castle we received a fabulous greeting, the check in process was friendly and swift and there was someone on hand who carried our bags to the room and showed us in. The room was a family room, 1 double bad and a single bed, the room was really big and had a hairdryer,... More

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The room we had was a bit dated, but couldn't fault the cleanliness. My only complaint would be only 1 bottle of water for a double room, but I'm sure we would have received another if we had asked. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We were on dinner,bed and breakfast tariff.... More

We have stayed there on two occasions this time we had room 18, a suite on the top floor with a balcony overlooking Lock Ryan at the front and one at the back overlooking the town and hills. It was a big step-up from the one we had 18 months ago with lounge & bedroom and a large walk-in wardrobe,... More
