Lovely spot, food is great. Decor is a little dated but given it's centuries old you can look past it. Staff are lovely and I like the open

Came here for Sunday lunch, smash burger was actually just an ordinary burger and was ok, Guinness wasn?t great. On the flip side the service was very good and they bent over backwards to give us a good table. Loved the decor and good atmosphere.

This review is soley for the Restuarant and not the rooms etc.Went here for a meal in the resturant on Friday 15th Dec 2023.4 of us dining. Rang up and booked in for 7.15 pm, we turned up around 7pm and where taken to our table. Place did not seem overly busy. Staff where chatty and friendly and took a drinks order and left some menus. Nice of selection of food, with a mix of Christmas Fayre and Traditional food. Decor is very bland , dull and unexciting, I know it is a listed and historic building but my goodness, those chairs, what can I say. Throw them out and get some decent resturant seating in, they are the most horrible chairs I have ever seen and not nice to sit on.Thankfully that is where any bad points ended.My friends ordered the Home Made soup for starters and I ordered the Deep fried brie. They all said the soup was delicious and my Brie was lovely and a good portion.Next to the mains. I had the Short rib of beef and the rest had the Turkey and Ham, I must admit, the Short Rib of Beef melted away from the bone and was a pleasure to eat. All others said the Turkey and Ham was very nice indeed. For Deserts, we opted for 3 Apple Crumble with Whisky and Cinnamon and 1 Cheese Cake, Everything was perfect , Cheese Cake was one of those odd deconstructed types, but it was very much enjoyed. Overall food was really enjoyable and it had been a long time since I had been to Dobbins for a meal in the Resturant.Staff nice and friendly food good tasty portions and resonably priced, slightly, only slightly let down by the Decor and the seating.

Food was good but lots of choices missing from menu as we were told they were closing over xmas making choice very limited.also we were put in the bar instead of restaurant so was very noisy naturally as full of xmas eve drinkers.

Recently stayed here for a few days to visit family/friends. This place a steeped in history and apparently has its own ghost who wanders around the hotel, but sadly I never felt her presence! It's a quirky place and our room though a tad dated was still spotless and clean. Everything worked, and had a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is included in the price and you can have cereal, toast etc or a traditional Ulster fry. We did on 2 occasions have a evening meal which along with a decent sized portion was excellent. Washed down with a proper pint of Guinness! Staff were always friendly and couldn't do enough for you. It's been many years since we've been in Carrick but would definitely stay here again.
