Where To Stay

Carrickfergus boasts excellent accommodation to suit all pockets, from luxurious hotels to country houses, town houses to cosy farm houses and is perfect for those who want to get the most out of their holiday - short breaks or days away. All tastes are catered for and you will always be made to feel very welcome.

Getting to Carrickfergus couldn't be any easier. At a mere half hour drive, the town is equidistant from both Belfast International and Belfast City airports and it's only 30 minutes (at most) to Larne. There are excellent bus and rail links with the rest of Northern Ireland, and beyond to Dublin and the south of Ireland.

For all your accommodation queries, please contact the staff at our Tourist Information Centre on 028 9335 8049.
