    Dort & Richard have owned Antrim since 1987. Over the years, they have chased two sons up and down lacrosse fields all over the country.

    We stay here once a year as a romantic getaway, no phones, no interruptions just quality time together. The grounds are beautiful, love sitting by the fireplace in our room, having a glass of wine/Champagne and talking/laughing, just catching up from our busy lives. Love to dress up and make it special, the service is outstanding and so is the food, pricey but worth it as a treat. Visit during the holiday time and enjoy all the Christmas decorations through the house, amazingly beautiful. We've stayed in many rooms/buildings and loved each one, booked for New Year's Eve this year....expecting a fabulous time!

    I actually had my reservations about going because in the area that it was located in but we were welcomed and made to feel at home. The service was impeccable! I would truly recommend Antrim 1844 for a nice B&B anytime of the year. Bring back the romance in your life! Definitely worth every dime!

    From the arrival to the attempt to notify the general mgr of the problems following the stay.... all has been extremely disappointing. I have to say I could not possibly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone with standards and expectations of class.

    Friendly & accomadating staff. We were upgraded to the our 1st choice due to cancellation. Afternoon tea & dinner very nice. The long stem rose at turndown was a nice touch. The morning tray outside the room in am of coffee, fruit & fresh muffins was great befor heading off for the yummy full couse breakfast.

    This was a first visit to Antrim 1844 for my husband and me. We went to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. What a glorious inn! The attention to detail - from the room decor, dining experience and, of course, the service of the staff - was far beyond our expectations. The food was a gourmet's delight! We would highly recommend this great inn!
