Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

10/10 Excellent

"This was our best stay in Northern Ireland. We had a family room on 2nd floor. It was a beautiful, cheerful, & cozy room with bonus small kitchen stocked with cookingware for longer stays. The tableware was nice with full teapot set. There were so many personal touches to make the experience special. A Welcome message 😀, offer to shop, suggestions on local sights and eats. The kitchen was equiped with fridge, stove, microwave. The host had provided tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate, muesli and 3 small milk cartons in the fridge!! Everything needed to make a quick morning breakfast to start our day. Wonderful experience."

Causeway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We did a patio room and loved looking out at the water. Bees was comfortable and it was quiet. Good breakfast. We should have used this hotel for our base the entire time while touring the coast. It was an unusual warm period but our room was cool despite no ac. Can’t say that about the other hotels we used. Definitely my top recommendation. Literally right next to Giant Causeway."

Modern, peaceful cottage with sea & mountain views

8/10 Good

"The property was great and close to ballycastle town. Clean and spacious for the four of us. Would book again 😊"

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff who couldn’t do enough to help you. Perfect for exploring the north coast but being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more densely touristy towns"

Yarn

10/10 Excellent

"Located right on the high street yet still quiet at night for a good sleep! Excellent amenities, shoutout for fab quality fluffy towels, and the toiletries (shower gel/soap) excellent quality. We were especially impressed by the “above and beyond” service, with a chilled bottle of bubbly ready for our arrival to celebrate our engagement. Thank you!!"

The Bushmills Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Inn is an old historic building. The decor is is quite nice and very comfortable. The restaurant dinner was outstanding! The Inn and the restaurant are both very pricey, but a for a true splurge the are worth it."

Carnside Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool place- we booked the big room for family of five. Hot tub was great and had such an incredible view and the extra cost was well worth it and included a drink! The owners are great and the location is super close to Giant’s Causeway and has a beautiful view. The only very mild negative is it is a working farm so there’s some flies and a bit of a farm smell, but I would definitely stay there again. Great place! Nice breakfast too."

Cottage in Ballintoy, Causeway Coast - sleeps 5

10/10 Excellent

Most bookings on Expedia are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of arrival, though this depends on the hotel's individual cancellation policy, which you should check in your booking confirmation. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by going to "My Trips" and selecting your reservation. To find fully refundable hotel options, simply enter "Sheep Island", set your travel dates, and use the "Fully refundable" filter under "Deals & Discounts" on the results page. Alternatively, explore deals with free cancellation options on Expedia.
