Fodor's Expert Review Dunadry Hotel and Gardens

2 Islandreagh Dr., Dunadry, Co. Antrim, BT41 2HA, Northern Ireland

During 2019 this hotel underwent a transformation, which has elevated it into a new league for visitors, although it has a strong corporate feel. All the bedrooms, from the most humble single to the spacious king executive, were revitalized, and many now come with rainfall showers, USB ports, and individual Wi-Fi hubs. When booking, ask for a room that leads through French windows on to an inner courtyard and newly landscaped gardens. Earlier renovations made use of large wooden components from the old mill's massive linen beetling (polishing) engines both in the stairwell and in a gallery over the bar. The restaurant is a popular spot for weddings, so you may find yourself in the midst of a real Irish celebration. All public areas, including the newly named Millrace restaurant, bar, and function room were renovated in 2019.
