Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

The Salthouse Hotel

8/10 Good

"Many stains on carpets and furniture. Small TV and not in the bed area. Small bed, not a proper king. Tall hubby was not ideal."

The Marcus Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I’d like to say a huge thank you to Bethany for making the stay so worthwhile. She was Incredibly attentive, friendly, and wanting to help in any way that she could.

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

8/10 Good

"Pros-Dunseverick ramblers rest was very clean, comfortable, nicely presented and dog friendly. It was handy to get to local tourist spots by car. Good for a nights stay. Cons-not within walking distance of tourist spots, the shower wasn’t powerful and the TV had no signal so we couldn’t watch the channels that were meant to be available but could log into our own Netflix account."

Portcaman House B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room, fantastic breakfast, and a short stroll to the sights of Bushmills"

Carrick-a-Rede

9.0/10 (73 reviews)

How’s your head for heights? A narrow, swinging bridge, 20 metres long and suspended 100 feet above the rocks and sea below, links mainland Northern Ireland with a tiny outcropping of volcanic rock known as Carrick-a-Rede. Many years ago it was a much more precarious crossing, when salmon fishermen would use the bridge to check their nets, before the catch here dried up. Today the bridge is one of the country’s most beloved visitor attractions - around a quarter of a million people every year make the trip across and back, though every now and again some lose their nerve and have to be rescued from the island!
