Advantages: charming reasonably piced rooms and award winning food Disadvantages: can get busy
On a recent visit to Northern Ireland, I was lucky enough to be shown round by someone born and bred in Larne. It was on her suggestion that we paid a visit to the Londonderry Arms, a 3 star hotel with two restaurants in the charming and quaint harbour village of Carnlough. Carnlough is about 15 minutes drive north of Larne along the very picturesque coastal road otherwise known as the A8.
History
The Londonderry Arms has a rich and interesting history proudly available in leaflets amongst a wide selection of magazines free for perusal.
The Londonderry ArmsHotel was built in 1848 as a coaching inn by Frances Anne Tempest, Marchioness of Londonderry.
Frances Anne was the grand-daughter of Randall William, sixth Earl and second Marquis of Antrim. He was the great great grandson of Sir Randall MacDonnell, the first of that ...
Advantages: Stylish rooms, great food, fantastic staff Disadvantages: You need a reason to go to Chipping Campden
around them. It's a great philosophy.
When the couple bought the hotel - at that time known as The KingsArms - it was a pretty rough sort of place. A bit of a 'spit and sawdust' pub with rooms over and a problem with drunken teenagers, drugs (in the Cotswolds? Shock and horror - it's worse than The Archers) and general neglect. Today you'll not find any hairy smelly kids with a dog on a string cluttering up the public bar. It's much more likely to be filled with hotel residents and locals having a drink before popping into the restaurant for a blow-out dinner.
NOTE - if you are interested enough to hunt down more reviews on this hotel, be aware that anything before 2006 will be referring to the KingsArms and not to 'The Kings' under its present ownership.

Advantages: Very good Hotel, great service Disadvantages: In the wrong place.
Just back from a weekend Jaunt to Ireland. We flew Ryanair Eastmidlands to Shannon, £38 return (No hold luggage and online checkin).
We booked the Oakwood Arms at Shannon, this was mainly as our return flight was 09:30 Monday morning and we did not want to get up early to travel.
We booked it thru LATEROOMS.COM for 85 Euros a night for Double room with Buffet Breakfast.
Ireland seems to be pricey for Hotels, so this was not too bad (We do cheaper when we go Venice).
We had hired a Car so after picking that up it was just a 10 min Drive into Shannon and the Hotel.
First Impressions were very good, better than most of the reviews we had read.
Its a low level building on the edge of Shannon, not that there's much in the middle of Shannon, just seems to be a Housing Estate.
Checkin looks very smart and professional ...
