The Downshire Arms Hotel has a fascinating history. The Port's oldest hostelry, the Downshire Arms Hotel was formerly a Coaching Inn dating back to c. 1800, previously named 'Gordon's Inn'. The Downshire, as is stands today, incorporates the 'Cross Keys Hotel' and 'Antrim Guest House' (incorporated c. 1983).

Conveniently situated on the village main street,  the Downshire Arms Hotel stands out against the backdrop of quaintly painted rows of cottages and terraces. The abundance of local amenities and shops are only a stone's throw from our doorstep. (The local shops have ATM machines for your convenience)

Having just undergone a thorough refurbishment, the hotel features a Public Bar (popular with locals and visitor alike), a Lounge Bar, a Cocktail Bar, an elegant and charismatic Restaurant, Children's Area, large Function Suite with dance floor, state-of-the-art sound & vision system and great atmosphere.

There are 19 lovely bedrooms mostly en-suite at the Downshire Arms Hotel - all will be fully en-suite by December 2005. Not to mention colour TV, direct dial telephones and all the modern comforts.

Why not choose a bedroom which has panoramic views of the Irish Sea and Ireland beyond. Family rooms available, but please ring for latest availability, as our rooms are being constantly upgraded to reflect the modern tastes.

Please contact us on 01776 810300 for bookings or details about live entertainment at the weekends. We would like to thank customers old and new for their custom over the past year and look forward to serving you in the future.
