About Kilmore Country House
Out along Glasmullen Road on the edge of Ballymena, the countryside opens up into rolling views towards the mountains, and it's here that Kilmore Country House makes its home. This is an adults-only hotel, set back from the road with a garden and outdoor seating where the surrounding hills are the main attraction. Free on-site parking makes it an easy base for exploring County Antrim, with The Dark Hedges and Glenariff Forest Park both within reach.
Rooms are en-suite, kept clean and warm, with drinks available in-room and a genuinely quiet atmosphere for those wanting to switch off. The bar and evening dining are a particular strength here, with the kitchen turning out well-presented main meals that guests single out as a highlight, alongside breakfast to start the day. There's also a picnic area, garden and mountain views to take in, plus meeting rooms and 24-hour reception for practicality, and luggage storage for those breaking up a longer trip.
Staff are attentive and go out of their way to help, which shows in the smoothness of day-to-day service. Beyond the grounds, there's plenty to fill the days: walking routes, fishing, horse riding and golf are all nearby, along with pubs, restaurants and entertainment for evenings out. It's a countryside stay with comfort and good food at its centre.

We got married at The Kilmore last year and it was absolutely amazing! The service from Oliver and Hugh was outstanding and they made everything run so smoothly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone getting married—it’s in a wonderful location in the heart of the glens, and we were even able to bring our golden retrievers, which made the day extra special.

WOW! Service 100% Food 100% I cannot rate Kilmore House highly enough. From our welcome by Hugh, to Ken serving drinks, with Maria taking orders and picking Oliver's brains about the food, this team are amazing. The food was done of the best I've eaten in a long time. And at £36.95, it was such good value for money. The quality, flavours, cooked to perfection. And then there's the location. Nestled in Glenariffe Glen, with sweeping views of the Glen and near by Waterfoot, Kilmore House offers some of the finest scenery in Ireland. Big claim, so see for yourselves. Keep an eye on Facebook for future special events. Well worth a visit. 💯

We got married at Kilmore Country House last week and I cannot recommend this place enough! Kilmore was the first and only venue we visited as the scenery was absolutely stunning and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Oliver was fantastic throughout with the planning, was on hand for any questions and helped with the set up as well. Oliver really helped take any stress out of it all and we are so grateful for his help and experience that made our day so amazing. It couldn't have went any better! Our guests had said about how great all the staff were, how good the food was and just how beautiful the location was. Of course we need to give a massive shout out to Hugh who made everyone feel so welcome and for going above and beyond to make ourselves and our guests feel comfortable and relaxed. We have had many people tell us how great Hugh was. Overall, Kilmore is a fantastic place to have a wedding from the views to the comfy rooms and tasty food and the absolutely amazing staff who topped it all off and made it an unforgettable experience. Thank you so so much to all the team!
