5 CornersGuest Inn

5 Corners Guest Inn is a family-run guest inn on Rashee Road in Ballyclare, bought by Max and Heather McConnell in 1989 and built up since into a combined bar, restaurant and bed and breakfast. The inn offers three guest room types, each with an en-suite bathroom, television and tea and coffee facilities, aimed at overnight visitors as well as wedding and function guests. Brothers Restaurant serves meals on site in a traditional pub setting, and the bar hosts live music on Saturday nights. The business is independently owned rather than part of a hotel group and has traded from the same site under the McConnell family since it was acquired. It sits in the countryside outside Ballyclare town centre, near the town's golf club, and takes bookings for overnight stays directly rather than through a franchise reservation system.
