Of course it's not the Ritz or Waldorf, and that's most of the appeal. A small local family run guesthouse. It's a cute house near some of the most amazing scenery in Ireland, literally within relatively close walking distance of Giants Causeway. Ann, the host, was so kind and welcoming to me and made my stay perfect. Everything around was sold out so I appreciated the last minute accomodations. Ann even called the golf club to make me dinner reservations, as I was hungry and tired from driving all day. The views from the house are spectacular as well. While some may say the rooms could use an

An excellent all round stay because the bed was comfortable and I slept well. The shower was hot and powerful. The breakfast was great and coffee strong. The single room spotless. The owner Daniela was friendly and professional, a pleasure to deal with. The COVID measures well presented and followed. Well worth the five stars
Thank you

Great location and breakfast. We didnt interact with the staff too much. Maybe due to Covid. Stayed in family room with one double/3 single beds. Spacious. Clean. Great big window looking over the ocean. Room itself was a bit dark and dim. But was clean. We didnt need it as our kids are older, but the toilet also came with child seats for the toilet, a nice touch. Shower was hot and clean. Suited what we were looking for to visit Giants Causeway.
