Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

10/10 Excellent

"The owner of the property was kind and considerate. She made sure the place was so well-stocked and made us feel so welcome it was almost more like staying over at a relative's house (one we like) than a hotel. The in-room amenities included (not an exhaustive list): table w/chairs (four), a sofa, a bathroom sized such that it wouldn't be amiss in the USA (unlike most of Europe's seemingly traditional half-sized bathrooms in which one may only relieve themselves with legs together), tea, sugar, milk (in fridge), coffee (instant or ground, via French press in room), a mini fridge, microwave, two-burner stovetop (ceramic electric) with exhaust hood overhead, tea kettle, dishware (glasses, plates, mugs, teapot), silverware, heated flooring, comfortable bedding, and (this is personally a huge plus) an extra cozy blanket. All of this and it was a fantastic price. I'd recommend this property to anyone heading out to Giant's Causeway (roughly 7min away)or Carrick-A-Rede(roughly 12min away) or anywhere up there really."

Causeway Hotel

8/10 Good

Carnside Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect place to stay to access Giant's Causeway. Very nice room, very comfortable bed, nice shower. Breakfast was awesome. I did a walk from Portstewart to the guest house. I think in total it was 16 miles. I was exhausted by the time I got there. Then a panic, dinner? But lo and behold, two restaurants within a 15-20 minute walk. Phew! Loved this place!"

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!
