Cullentra House

Cullentra House

10/10 Excellent
"Cullentra House is situated on a lovely hill overlooking the Antrim Coast and the townlands around Cushendall. It's both quiet and super close to the center of town. Olive is such a lovely host, calling to the pub when I arrived late, to make sure I got dinner on a busy weekend, and providing a beautiful and ample breakfast every morning. She is so attentive and welcoming. Go raibh mile maith agat!"

"Very historic hotel close to the Castle. Breakfast was great but dinner was ho-hum. Nice part of town to explore. Staff was great! One of our parties had room 21 but no paranormal activity experienced."

Holiday Inn Express Antrim by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Antrim by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Really nice hotel and amazing staff. The one thing I would say is that it’s not very well connected, the train station is around a 25-30 minute walk from the hotel and the train to Belfast are every hour (10 past every hour) so it’s a little bit of a pain to get anywhere. However can’t fault the staff or the hotel. It’s located near lots of a good food places and a supermarket on the door step"
