Located walking distance from the Giant's Causeway
Visitors loved the way they were within walking distance of the world-famous Giant's Causeway at this property, which was less than half-a-mile from the Atlantic Ocean. As there was free parking, it meant drivers could leave the car behind and explore the World Heritage Site landscape of volcanic basalt columns on foot. It was also a short drive from Bushmills and Portrush for amenities, shops and dining options. Golf courses, beaches, regional attractions, castles, museums and County Antrim beauty spots were also within easy reach by road.

Minor maintenance and cleanliness grumbles

Several guests called for the bathrooms to be brought up to a more modern standard.
