The castle is described as "a living postcard—a charming, almost teal-colored Scottish baronial castle overlooking the sea in Northern Ireland."
It was strongly Scots influenced in style featuring corbelled cylindrical tourelles with conical roofs on top.
It was built with high walls, steep roof, dormer windows and corner turrets.
The walls are 5 feet (1.5 metres) thick with loopholes for muskets.
An open stream ran through the outer hall to provide water in case of siege.
