A real oasis and escape to the coast
A hidden gem with a lovely atmosphere and all rooms are full of character. Beautiful plants everywhere makes this gorgeous old house so welcoming and relaxing. My husband and I are just back from a lovely weekend and the place was so quiet we thought there were no other guests but at breakfast all tables were full. The cooked breakfast was amazing and one of the best we ever had. Nothing was too much bother and Jade was chatty and welcoming so the whole experience was wonderful. Thank you Syd, Dawn and your team as definitely will book again. So handy to Portrush but a true oasis. Robert and Linda
So much to see and do
Famed for outstanding experiences including the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge and the Giant’s Causeway, the elemental beauty of the Causeway Coast will blow you away.
For all its epic sights, it's the smaller experiences on the Causeway Coast that will stay in your memory: edging around a hairpin bend on a craggy headland, eating freshly caught seafood on the beach, and sipping a local whiskey in front of an open fire.
