The Curran Court Hotel has been a major feature of Larne for more than fifty years. Speak to anyone in Larne and they\u2019ll talk fondly of the Curran Court; such is its special place in the hearts of the local community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner and Director, Brian McRandal, purchased the hotel in 2017 and he believes that the Curran Court has something to offer everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really believe that the Curran Court Hotel is the perfect – and most practical \u2013 spot for locals and tourists alike,\u201d he said. \u201cNot only is it ideal for those coming off the Stranraer or Liverpool ferries, who need a room for the night, but it has increasingly become the \u2018go to\u2019 place for the local community to have a great night out and a tasty meal to boot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel\u2019s location means that it is the ideal location for a tour of Northern Ireland, since it\u2019s not only a mere 25 minutes from Belfast, but it also opens up the way to the nine glens of Antrim; making it the perfect spot to begin a trip along Northern Ireland\u2019s world-famous Causeway Coastal Route – a road journey, which will enable you to immerse yourself in the exhilarating outdoors and enjoy the serenity of being \u2018unplugged\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition to our perfect location,\u201d Brian continued, \u201cwe pride ourselves on our ability to offer \u2018affordable luxury\u2019 thanks to our long–serving, knowledgeable and well-known staff, who are dedicated to providing a first-class customer service and who are willing to go that extra mile to make your stay as superb as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur hotel\u2019s 32 modern and spacious guest rooms include twin, double, accessible and superior rooms, so, even if you\u2019re on your own, you\u2019ll have the benefit of having either a twin or double room all to yourself!  We also offer great value dine and stay packages and these have proved particularly popular.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Curran Court Hotel\u2019s restaurant is renowned for its well-selected menu, which is awash with fresh, local ingredients, including Glenarm shorthorn beef. To add to the lip-smacking quality of the ingredients, everything at the Curran Court Hotel is cooked from scratch, so you know that everything you\u2019re eating is straight off the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since taking over the hotel, Brian has made sweeping changes to both the premises layout and the menu, but he continues to forge ahead with additional innovative developments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales & Marketing Manager Glenn Mann said: \u201cDuring the lockdowns of the last year, we continued to improve what the Curran Court could offer existing and potential new customers.  Last summer, we opened a new spacious and rustic outdoor dining area, which seats eighty and comes complete with awnings and overhead heaters so it\u2019s suitable for all year round use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis spring we have carried out extensive renovations inside the hotel to create a beautiful new public bar, offering a relaxed and casual dining experience, that perfectly feeds into our outdoor area. The 2 areas combine to become Katy Jane\u2019s Bar & Beer Garden. It\u2019s named after my mother and mother-in-law, to encompass the family and friends feel that we wanted to create. We have also developed a new bar menu to suit all tastes, which includes small plates that are ideal for sharing.  We feel that it will be the ideal place to meet up and spend time with friends and family that we missed so much during lock down. Not forgetting the Katy Jane\u2019s Library, which is an ideal spot to relax, meet friends and enjoy a coffee and snack from their Lite Bites menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur main restaurant is also now able to offer an \u00e0 la carte dining experience to more than 100 customers!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian wants the Curran Court to have a different feel to it, going forward. \u201cPreviously, for example, there was nowhere for people to come in and sit for a coffee. Now we have a few Chesterfield sofas and high-backed chairs. We also have a library section with big armchairs where visitors can take afternoon tea served in fine China – complete with linen tablecloths – so there\u2019s a complete shift in atmosphere. It\u2019s like being transported back to a period in time when life was more relaxed and more \u2018polished\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo wash your gastronomically-delicious food down, the Curran Court Hotel has an extensive drinks\u2019 menu that includes classic cocktails, a wide selection of gins, rums and flavoured vodkas. Or, if the mood takes you, you can even round off the evening with one of the hotel\u2019s special frozen dessert cocktails! Lip-smacking and luscious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great food\u2026.great prices\u2026.great service. What more could you want from a hotel that\u2019s the gateway to one of the world\u2019s greatest tourist attractions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
