Built in 1846 the historic and iconic Adair Arms Hotel has stood proudly in Ballymena town centre for just under 175 years and offers the ideal location for shopping, culture and a luxurious stay. Food is served all day in the expansive open plan lobby, grill and bar area. Guests can choose from the homemade scones with a coffee or full a la carte menu.

Each dish bursting with local seasonal produce, cooked expertly by our team of in house chefs. Alternatively you can relax in the sumptuous foyer and enjoy Traditional Afternoon Tea, which is served daily from 2pm - 5pm. If you are staying at the weekend, sit back, relax and (when we can again) enjoy the live music in the bar every Friday and Saturday night.

The wonderful ladies at this hotel went far beyond what anybody could expect in order to help my daughter and me in a crisis. The hotel itself is cute and cozy. I will always remember this place fondly.

I treated a client to breakfast before our meeting. Food was well cooked, not over cooked. There was also a good selection of fruit, yoghurts and fresh chilled juices. Coffee pot refills were available.
Really good value, I would highly recommend.

Pros: Really fast WiFi
Cons: This hotel is extremely dated. The carpet is stained in multiple places, and the pillow cases were a yellowish color. The TV didn't work, and there was no hair dryer nor mini fridge in the room. It smelled musty too.
This accommodation was absolutely not worth £89 per night. Maybe £40 at best

Lunch today. Honey chilli chicken and skinny fries. Outstanding. Better than any Chinese takeaway and they didn't skimp on the portion size. Okay, so the tea I ordered didn't arrive but the food was so good I forgave that slight omission. Great menu selection.

Reasonably priced and well located. Room was a little musty with a few cobwebs around the room. But the waiting staff were excellent. Gavin in particular, was so friendly and went out of his way to ensure you had everything you needed. Definitely one of the best waiting staff we've ever experienced in NI.

I have eaten in the grill room recently and found the food very good, the staff are very pleasant and ready to help. I had my little son with me and he was crying and my husband and i were not going to get any time to eat our lunch but a lovely dark haired lady came by and took the child and humoured him until we got some of our food eaten.. not many people would do this.. i would most certainly eat there again when i visit ballymena
