Welcome to Ballygally Castle
The Castle on the Coast
Perched on the tip of the famous Causeway Coastal Route sits Ballygally Castle, a stunning 17th Century Castle which overlooks the golden sands of Ballygally Bay and has uninterrupted views across the Irish Sea. With uninterrupted coastal views and a location rich in history and natural beauty, it offers a truly unique base for discovering one of Northern Ireland’s most remarkable regions.
We’re delighted to share that Ballygally Castle has been named among the top 25 hotels in the UK, placing 19th in Tripadvisor’s prestigious 25th Anniversary Travellers’ Choice Awards – Best of the Best. Decided exclusively by travellers, this honour places us – in our corner of the Antrim Coast – among the top 1% of hotels worldwide.
Originally built in 1625, Ballygally Castle is Northern Ireland’s only 17th-century castle still in use as a residence, now transformed into a charming hotel. Our location places you right at the heart of Northern Ireland’s most iconic landscapes and attractions. From here, guests can easily explore the iconic Giant’s Causeway, walk the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, or take in the drama of the Gobbins Cliff Path, all situated in the landscape made famous for its appearance in the internationally acclaimed Game of Thrones series, with nearby filming locations drawing visitors from around the globe.
Whether you’re here for a short break or a journey of exploration along the coast, Ballygally Castle offers the perfect combination of history, hospitality, and spectacular scenery.
