 Dobbins Inn Hotel

Dobbins Inn HotelOriginally built by the Norman knight Reginald D'Aubin in the 13th century, very much appreciated, the hotel has a rich history, having been a castle, townhouse, gaol, armoury and collecting point for the postal service before becoming a hotel in 1946. Set within a former Norman castle, valued throughout, this traditional 15-bedroom inn is situated in the historic town of Carrickfergus, on the coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Local attractions include the Castle, highly regarded, dating back to 1188, and St Nicholas Church. Unsurprisingly, and above all, it is home to fascinating architectural features and even a ghost! During your stay, when you are not exploring the hidden delights of the the hotel, you can enjoy the many historic sites of Carrickfergus, County Antrim’s oldest town.

Hotel details

The inn is a treasure trove of hidden gems, including 'The Priest Hole', which was the escape route for those wishing to celebrate mass during the years that it was outlawed by the crown. The friendly staff will be happy to help you with any query you have during your stay, from local attractions to the inn's history - don't leave without hearing the sad 17th century tale of Maud and Button-Cap!

Food & Beverages

In contrast to its traditional hospitality and historic setting, Dobbins Inn offers a Mediterranean-style tapas restaurant. For the more traditional palate, there is also a grill menu. The John Paul Jones Lounge Bar is named after the American Privateer who fought the British fleet in Carrickfergus Bay in 1778. A collection of naval cap tallies is displayed behind the bar.
