We had a really lovely stay. The location is idyllic, and it was amazing to be able to enjoy the Giant’s Causeway in both the evening and morning. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were so kind about making off-menu requests for the kids. Everyone was super friendly, and our room was spacious with a beautiful terrace and stunning views.

We had a really great stay at the causeway lodge. The room was excellent, clean and spacious. The breakfast was fantastic. The lodge is in the perfect place to explore the North Antrim coast.

Great cabin in a stunning setting, that has everything you need for a short visit. The hosts were communicative and helpful when we needed it. Location is less than a 10 minute drive from Ballycastle and amenities, and there are a few taxi services to choose from.

I have visited this hotel on more than a dozen occasions for lunch , and was thus aware of the high quality of the food served there and the friendly and efficient staff . It therefore came as no surprise that dinner was of an extremely high standard and that there were plenty of obliging and solicitous staff on what was a very busy Saturday evening . The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable , and there was no noise either internally or from outside . I would have no hesitation in...

Stayed during a particularly cold spell and me Hotel was lovely and warm ànd clean coming in from the cold. Restaurant and bar area kept meticulously clean and staff couldn't do enough for ourselves. Lovely open fire added to ambience.
Rooms very clean well kept although our room was to the back of the hotel so missed the sea view from rooms to the front.
One of the few hotels we have stayed at to cook breakfast to order. Not a buffet breakfast and was worth waiting for cooked meal....
