Thought to be some 800 years old, St. Nicholas’ Church stands in the centre of town, a place of tranquillity amid the bustling streets of Carrickfergus.

On our last night our room door card swipe mechanism stopped working which was frustrating, but the hotel concierge was able to help us out. Hotel is very well maintained ...
