Decided to try here for a change on Sunday evening, glad we did!! Staff were very helpful and friendly and I had mentioned I needed a child seat which was already at our table when we arrived. Drinks ordered and arrived soon after I ordered prawns for starters my wife had chicken wings both delicious, the child’s meal came out with starters and was also delicious (chicken goujons with skinny fries) I had the sirloin steak with chunky chips medium rare . Cooked to perfection! Well seasoned . My wife had the smashed burger and she said it was amazing, portions were so good we hadn’t room for dessert but we definitely will be back to try again. Food 10/10 service 10/10 … Also must mention the price of food and drinks are very reasonable. Very enjoyable Sunday

This little hotel is off the beaten track - we did not stay here but visited for lunch the food and service were excellent and really good value for money I would recommend for the food and service alone the views from the dining area were beautiful and a lovely balcony to see them from and access a river walk if you wanted to - a lovely little hidden gem

The Porterhouse steak was delicious, perfectly cooked and the black garlic chips were also good. Kids meals were good quality and the children enjoyed them. Desserts were rather disappointing and didn’t taste like they were freshly made, possibly bought in. Overall an enjoyable meal.

Had a fantastic meal last night with my folks and other half. They all got the fillet steak which they said was the best steak theyve ever had, and I was so pleasantly surprised with a vegan menu (which included dessert!). We mentioned it was a birthday and the staff came out with a lovely birthday brownie for my dad. The staff were so lovely and professional, and the music at the end of the night (Friday) was fantastic. Thanks all!

Had a sumptuous Sunday lunch today at The Inn, Castledawson. Started with lovely selection of breads with selection of butters, which was appreciated. My husband and I both had turkey and ham with stuffing, served with mash and selection winter veg. The turkey and stuffing were delicious and the baked ham was so tender and tasty. Beautifully presented by pleasant staff members and so enjoyable. The best turkey and ham dinner I’ve had in years, and there have been many. Daughter had braised shin of beef, tender and tasty, and again very well presented. Brother had hake (fish of the day) which he really enjoyed. We’d two starters both choosing the fish cake, and two deserts, one apple crumble and the other raspberry and champagne posset. Finished off with decaf coffees and tea. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Already looking forward to my next visit ……

We followed the Inn in Castledawson on Facebook since it went under new management , we only wish we had visited sooner Foodies, The food and service is amazing. On one of our recent visits, we brought our grandson who is 4 and who has autism, We phoned prior to our visit and they helped us with his meal plan ( even letting us bring his pasta and cooking it ). This visit we brought mum to celebrate her 90th birthday. There is everything on this menu to suit what ever occasion, from a casual meal to a special occasion. For those of you who live further a field , there is rooms for an over night stay. It’s up there with the best restaurants in Northern Ireland and it’s reasonable priced.

I have been to numerous business meetings and small conferences here over the last few years. I find it rather sedate and its restaurant can be quite dark and cold. The Inn has had a difficult life since it opened, with numerous different owners and this has resulted in it never developing a reputation either as a hotel or as a place to eat out. Definitely good if you're planning a meeting, but just a bit too eerily quiet for a characterful evening out.

Mi familia y yo hace poco tuvimos almuerzo en the Inn at Castledawson para cumpleaños de mi marido. Hemos comido aquí antes en varias ocasiones y fue nuestra primera experiencia en el nuevo chef. La comida era impresionante antes pero es absolutamente fantástico ahora. Teníamos las hamburguesas del menú bistro y, sinceramente, nunca he probado algo tan suculento y deliciosa. Las habitaciones triples patatas fritas son incomparables, como era la presentación. El restaurante recientemente tenía su clasificación AA two rosette renovado debido al talento del chef y es tan bien merecido. El personal y el dueño es muy atento y nos hizo nuestra celebración de cumpleaños tan especial. Mi marido ha recibido un postre especial de cumpleaños con una vela y nuestras muy femenino chicas trataron a una excursión especial de la suite nupcial por el propietario. casi me hizo querer casarse a alojar allí!!!. Damos las gracias sinceramente a todos en el Castledawson Inn definitivamente volveremos.

Nos alojamos en el hotel y comimos allí cada noche de viernes 7ª a 10ª 2012 septiembre. Hemos viajado a lo largo y ancho, experimentado algunas muy caras pero basura comidas así como algo de comida muy barata pero fantástica en todo el mundo. La comida aquí es muy bueno, la selección no es muy extensa pero en temporada, las raciones son de un tamaño perfecto y todo lo que esperaba de un amable personal que eran muy dispuesto y ser capaz de responder a cualquiera de nuestras preguntas. La selección de vinos es muy variada y se adapta más bolsillos. El restaurante es encantador y confortable, con una gran vista al río, la comida se servía en forma oportuna, en platos calientes y con una sonrisa. Yo juzgo un lugar en toda la experiencia, y pensamos que merece la pena. La próxima vez que vuelva en consultaciones, nos volveremos a salir de nuestra manera de visitar otra vez.

Comí en el restaurante con un grupo de amigos y decir que nos decepcionó sería insuficiente. Cuando se reserva la mesa estaba disuadida cuando solicité una reserva de 7 pm. La recepcionista me sugirió que optar por 7.30 pm. Al llegar me asombrados de ver el restaurante vacío ... con la excepción de otra pareja que más tarde les pedimos que nos cambiaran a otra mesa en el restaurante vacío. Las primeras impresiones del interior de la edad, fue muy impresionante, pero la delicia fue breve cuando nos miró en los precios en el menú. No había presión para hacer la elección correcta como iba a ser una cara comida! Un vistazo a los precios en 'La lista de vinos' era un mayor impacto. sólo espero que la comida y el vino a demostrar digno de dicha extravagancia!

El restaurante lo reservado para una ocasión especial en familia - era muy disapppinted. muy cara y la mala calidad de la comida con porciones pequeñas dejaban. Mi cuñado pedí la beely de cerdo y fue presentada con un cubo de grasa de cerdo!!!! Honestamente creo que fue patatas y se habían olvidado de darle la carne! asqueroso! no podía comer y no todo el mundo en su comida. Me dijeron que la camarera y pedí un bistec para él, pero esto no fue hasta tuvimos todo terminado nuestro plato principal. Me quejé cuando se paga la factura y la señora era muy no pedía disculpas. Esta fue la peor comida que habíamos tenido y uno de los más caros. Casi 20 libras por la botella de vino más barata - y fue muy mala calidad. La camarera también vino y levantó mi plato antes me había terminado! Tuve que decirle que deje atrás! Una experiencia realmente mala.

Una noche en el hotel con cena como parte de la oferta. Estábamos encantados con el servicio, el hotel en sí y todo el personal. El hotel está justo en el medio de la calle principal en Castledawson. El limitado excelente seguro aparcamiento fuera de la calle disponible si hacerles saber lo que necesites. El Inn es un restaurante con habitaciones, aunque la destinction entre éste y el hotel es un poco Hazy, la única diferencia que State es que el hotel no tiene bar permanente o totalmente administrada recepción. (No es peor que en mi opinión) El restaurante es enorme y bien equipada, con enormes ventanales con vistas al río. muy bien amueblado y muy cómoda. Nuestra habitación (con vistas al río) era excelente, impecable y muy bien equipadas y cómodas.

After reading some previous reviews on Tripadvisor, I decided to try this restaurant in Castledawson. I was extremely pleased with what I found. The restaurant is surprisingly large when you enter and has huge windows along the rear wall, looking over a small terrace and the river at the back. The food is without doubt some of the best that I have eaten in the area and I struggle to think of restaurants that can compete. The set menu is very good value and each course was delicious. Of note though, were the desserts, particularly the petit fours which were superb and I cannot recommend highly enough.

As group of four we wanted to try out the taster so booked it in advance the chef said there would be a few surprises on it. As we didnt know what was going to be served we were looking forward to see what was on offer. When we were seated we were given the taster menu and every thing on it was very different and intresting (wont tell what was on it).We were also given other dishes which were not on the menu. Everyone really enjoyed the experience and the food was way above the standard of any other local restaurants .The chef came out talk to us when we had finished eating to see if we had enjoyed our meal and you can tell he cares about his cooking. The waitresses where very good and the wine we were advised on was great. Will say it once more excellent food and service.

We had a very large (130 people) family lunch here in December. The manager, Paula, accommodated us at very short notice and provided a buffet lunch with several choices. The food was absolutely delicious and their house wine of a very high standard. The staff were courteous and helpful, constantly adapting to give the best possible service to a large crowd of people. The dining room is quite lovely, like a ski chalet, with a view out to the Moyola river.
