What to do in Northern Ireland
From Belfast: Giant's Causeway Full-Day Guided Trip
"Clean rooms and friendly staff. The rooms were big annd the location was great. Avoid eating at their restaurant. The food wasn’t great and the service was slow."
"This was an excellent property! The breakfast was great and I appreciate that everything was locally sourced. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer is that it’s not walkable to anything but the beach which was right out the front door. Not a lot of food options nearby. If you are needing food, the hotel bar and restaurant are your only options. Grams a take out only pizza place is a close drive. Very good and quick."
"The location of the property was perfect for walking around the city. The staff were kind and very professional. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of options. I will definitely be staying there again in the future."
