Brown Trout Golf & Country Inn

Stayed for work. Amazing place, the staff were super friendly. The room was incredible, really big and clean with great facilities. A really good breakfast cooked from fresh aswell. Will stay here again if ever in the area, a real hidden gem

We stayed with friends at The Brown Trout for a two-night relaxing break, using the hotel as a base for exploring the local area. We were warmly welcomed by Lynn on arrival and given our room keys. The rooms were spotless, cosy and comfortable. We ate in the hotel restaurant were the food was high standard (dinner and breakfast) and in the evening we relaxed with drinks in the resident's lounge. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and the hotel itself is in a quiet location but not too far from the Antrim North Coast sites and activities. We have visited several times before and no doubt will do so again. A big thank-you to Jane and her staff.

Four of us had dinner here on Saturday night. The whole restaurant and bar were buzzing. Mostly locals in for the evening and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. The food was from an “all day menu” and the four different meals we had were superb. Cooked perfectly, arrived at the table piping hot, and fresh from the oven. Service was perfect, we wanted for nothing. Well deserved 5 score.

Vegetarian curry with a piece of hard plastic in it made me wonder which part of the dish was not home made. The bowl of sauce was tasty but rice on the side was hard to eat and no naan bread as they didn’t know if it contained nuts so again where did it come from? Fish pie ok, grilled food a bit overdone. Service was ok. Overall disappointed .

Absolutely love this place. Friendly, warm, comfortable, clean, fantastic food and so accommodating for dogs! Beautiful grounds to walk around. The room had everything you need and really conveniently for dogs opens directly outside. Can't wait to go back.

A wonderful Christmas and New Year in a well appointed cottage, comfortable and warm, plenty hot water, good quality bedding and towels. A warm greeting on arrival, with a good selection of first class food and drinks, served by polite, friendly and well trained staff throughout our stay. The service and food on Christmas Day, the Gourmet dinner and New Year’s Eve was outstanding. Ideal location for doing nothing or visiting the local towns and the coast. Well done “Team Trout”

This year once again we stayed for three days in the Brown Trout. Thank you to the staff who once again made our Christmas extra special. The three day stay was tremendous, food was amazing as always portions were really amazing. This is a lovely place to chill and do nothing just enjoy family time together. If your ever on the North Coast of Northern Ireland we thoroughly recommend a visit. You don't have to stay overnight, although if you can it makes it a special occasion. Open for lunch at any time.

Just back from having a Christmas outing with friends, we changed our original venue to here as I had had a delicious meal here a few weeks ago. Needless to say my friends were really impressed! It was absolutely delicious, we all opted for Turkey dinner, so so good. The restaurant was lovely and cosy, staff were very pleasant. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. It might be a bit out of town but definitely worth the drive out.

Super tasty food… Great value… dog friendly. Immaculate and large bedroom ( 2 double beds) & bathroom…. Ours had a walk in shower as well as a separate bath. Really Friendly & efficient staff. SHOUT OUT TO THE CHEF(S) ….Did I mention the AMAZING food?? Booked on Saturday morning for a Sunday overnight stay,because it was dog friendly ( & I’d forgotten it was my husband’s birthday next week 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️) We live in Belfast (an hours drive away) and I had always been put off by the ( previously ) “dated” photos of the bedrooms. I completely forgot to take any photos of the room ( room 6) but as previous posters have already mentioned, rooms 1-16 ( I think ??) all open out directly to an outdoor area, so if you’re dog needs outside at any point, there’s easy access It’s not really near anything ( apart from the adjacent golf course of course) The “residents lounge” looked comfortable but could do with the same make over the bedrooms have had. Well behaved,“4 legged” friends ( like our wee 13yr old Shih Tzu ) were made very welcome by any staff we came into contact with. The Brown Trout seems to be a very family run business and we’ll definitely be back to visit again… hopefully to stay in some of the cottages..,with our kids & grandkids.
