"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."

10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous B&B in Bushmills. I booked it as it was close to the Giant’s Causeway and made the walk to the Causeway itself in less than 30 minutes. The single room was spacious, and had everything I needed included a kettle and teabags. I paid an extra £5 to get the cooked breakfast and am glad I did. Fantastic service, homey, hospitable and great location and excellent bang for the buck. Would gladly stay again and recommend it to others."

"Absolutely ideal place to stay at Giants Causeway. The staff was warm and friendly and made us feel like family. The food at the restaurant was exceptional as well. Our terrace room was ideal. Parking was 100 feet from the entry. Our room even included a delicious breakfast and entry to the Causeway Visitors Center & tour. My only regret is not staying longer. We will 100% be back, hopefully in summer time!"
