Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

Causeway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Position near Giants Causeway and admission incl in price"

Glass Island Boutique Luxury B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our one night stay at this B&B. The room was spotless and modern, and the bed was very comfortable. Located on a residential street, the B&B offers plenty of parking and is just a short walk from restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. This was our best stay during our tour of Northern Ireland. Highly recommend staying here."

Rest A While

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable room, perfect location, exeptional breakfast and great host - everything above our expectations. THANK YOU!"

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

10/10 Excellent

"This was our best stay in Northern Ireland. We had a family room on 2nd floor. It was a beautiful, cheerful, & cozy room with bonus small kitchen stocked with cookingware for longer stays. The tableware was nice with full teapot set. There were so many personal touches to make the experience special. A Welcome message 😀, offer to shop, suggestions on local sights and eats. The kitchen was equiped with fridge, stove, microwave. The host had provided tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate, muesli and 3 small milk cartons in the fridge!! Everything needed to make a quick morning breakfast to start our day. Wonderful experience."

Marine Hotel Ballycastle

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff who couldn’t do enough to help you. Perfect for exploring the north coast but being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more densely touristy towns"

Yarn

10/10 Excellent

"Located right on the high street yet still quiet at night for a good sleep! Excellent amenities, shoutout for fab quality fluffy towels, and the toiletries (shower gel/soap) excellent quality. We were especially impressed by the “above and beyond” service, with a chilled bottle of bubbly ready for our arrival to celebrate our engagement. Thank you!!"

The Bushmills Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Inn is an old historic building. The decor is is quite nice and very comfortable. The restaurant dinner was outstanding! The Inn and the restaurant are both very pricey, but a for a true splurge the are worth it."

Bushmills Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property in a stunning location"

Carnside Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool place- we booked the big room for family of five. Hot tub was great and had such an incredible view and the extra cost was well worth it and included a drink! The owners are great and the location is super close to Giant’s Causeway and has a beautiful view. The only very mild negative is it is a working farm so there’s some flies and a bit of a farm smell, but I would definitely stay there again. Great place! Nice breakfast too."

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!
