    Lovely welcoming hosts Seibe and Ivy, incredible Guest House beautifully maintained. Breakfast was just lovely. Safe parking for motorcycles, very comfortable rooms, great location for getting to ferry the next morning. The Hosts recommend various places to eat, and they are spot on. The Olderfleet Bar and Lounge was excellent.

    Nothing. All wonderful

    Derrin was welcoming, warm, beautifully presented, light and quiet. Ivy was the star attending to every need and so thoughtful. Even though I had to go early for a ferry she left out a variety of things for breakfast. Ivy was reassuring when telling me about the ferry trip. All very much appreciated. Obviously a well loved and cared for guest house.

    Only criticism is the towels were crunchy, I like fluffy towels. Either conditioner or 3 in one pods make for crunchy towels. Sorry 🙏 wouldn't put me off staying there again tho!

    Lovely top notch guesthouse. Small double room for me but ample space for a couple and lovely comfortable bed and quality bedding. Bathroom great, quality fittings and a shower over bath so flexible for those who like a choice. Very quiet at night but so close to town shops. Breakfast choices good and tasty. I loved the stained glass in the house. Nice and warm coming back from a blustery day out! Thank you Ivy, I'd recommend the Derrin!

    Ivy greeted us all warmly. She gave clear information on our rooms, breakfast menu and times, plus directions to nearby pubs and restaurants. Her broad experience at running this lovely B&B was obvious. Our room was spotless and bed comfortable. Reviewed by wife, Georgina

    No negative points to raise.

    Just off the main street in Larne, Derrin House is a comfy, conveniently placed B&B. It would be especially convenient for the ferry if you were staying over in Larne before heading to Scotland. Ivy welcomed us upon arrival, and explained everything we needed to know. Our room was large, and contained everything we needed for a couple of days away. My wife thought that the bed was one of the most comfortable we had ever found in a hotel, apartment or wherever. Breakfast was well cooked and fresh. Our room had louvred shutters rather than blinds, and once they were shut, the room temperature quickly increased, though that doesn't mean that the house or room was cold. All in all, a great spot, and we would consider returning at some point in the future.

    Both my Husband and Son had an overnight stay while attending the Larne v Cliftonville game, Ivy and Siebe made them very welcome, and what they liked in the Room was the little information folder about the B&B also what there is to see and do in the area. Ulster Fry was lovely Definitely stay there again
