Very comfortable hotel, although with our large rooms having a sea view we also realised we very looking out onto the coast road which was very busy. We had dinner at the hotel which was very pleasant, but possibly with it being a Sunday evening a few things were unavailable on the dessert menu.

I have visited this hotel on more than a dozen occasions for lunch , and was thus aware of the high quality of the food served there and the friendly and efficient staff . It therefore came as no surprise that dinner was of an extremely high standard and that there were plenty of obliging and solicitous staff on what was a very busy Saturday evening . The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable , and there was no noise either internally or from outside . I would have no hesitation in...

Stayed during a particularly cold spell and me Hotel was lovely and warm ànd clean coming in from the cold. Restaurant and bar area kept meticulously clean and staff couldn't do enough for ourselves. Lovely open fire added to ambience.
Rooms very clean well kept although our room was to the back of the hotel so missed the sea view from rooms to the front.
One of the few hotels we have stayed at to cook breakfast to order. Not a buffet breakfast and was worth waiting for cooked meal....

We chose this hotel as a base to visit surrounding areas and for a return flight from Belfast City airport. So I was pleasantly surprised to find it was excellent. Walking into the reception area you find a lovely wooden spiral staircase.
The rooms were spacious and our window looked over to the sea. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There was also ample wardrobe space. The bathroom had the usual toiletries with a large walk-in shower. Everything was clean, four fluffy towels and two...

We had a really lovely stay. The location is idyllic, and it was amazing to be able to enjoy the Giant’s Causeway in both the evening and morning. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were so kind about making off-menu requests for the kids. Everyone was super friendly, and our room was spacious with a beautiful terrace and stunning views.
