    We ordered an evening meal which was superb and the packed breakfast was excellent value. The location could not be better for the zLarne ferry. Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

The Merchants House is within walking distance of both ferry terminals (1/2 mile from P&O and 1 mile from Stena). We have a small and cosy bar, open from 6.30pm - 11pm, for our guests to enjoy. A range of breakfast options can be purchased every morning, for guests not leaving for early morning ferries.
