Ballygally Castle, Larne

Every stay on this page offers family rooms, according to its Booking.com listing. In Northern Ireland, five of the 7 castle stays we list meet that rule.

Family rooms in a castle are often in a later wing or in cottages in the grounds, where there is space for extra beds. If sleeping inside the old walls matters to your children, look for the Sleep inside the walls label and ask which rooms take a cot.

On our Castle Authenticity Scale that breaks down as one true castle, one castle-style mansion and three castle estate stays.
