Fodor's Review:

What awaits at Londonderry Arms are lovely seaside gardens, ivy-clad walls, gorgeous antiques, regional paintings and maps, and lots of fresh flowers. This ivy-covered traditional inn on Carnlough Harbor was built as a coach stop in 1848. In 1921 Sir Winston Churchill inherited it from his great-grandmother; since 1947 it has been owned and run by the hospitable O'Neill family. Both the original and the newer rooms have Georgian furnishings and luxurious fabrics, and are immaculately kept. The restaurant serves substantial, traditional Irish meals that emphasize fresh, local seafood as well as rib eye of prime Irish beef, all simply prepared ($-$$). The Coach House bistro offers a more informal and cheaper alternative with welcoming open fires. Pros: history, served with County Antrim lamb, surrounds your stay in a comfortable bed while a cheerful staff attends to your needs; free newspapers for perusal in the lounge bar. Cons: guests have complained of cold bedrooms; old-fashioned hotels aren't everyone's taste—be prepared for creaky floorboards.
