Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

Carnside Guest House

10/10 Excellent

The Salthouse Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, beautiful spa. If you wish to eat at one of the restaurants on site, highly recommend booking upon check-in as time slots fill up fast."

Glass Island Boutique Luxury B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Just the loveliest B&B I’ve ever stayed in. Spacious and comfortable room, quiet and peaceful house, delicious breakfasts, and super-helpful hosts. Highly recommended!"

The Marcus Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"great hotel, fantastic breakfast"

Portrush Atlantic Hotel

8/10 Good

"All good pleasant stay"

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

8/10 Good

"Pros-Dunseverick ramblers rest was very clean, comfortable, nicely presented and dog friendly. It was handy to get to local tourist spots by car. Good for a nights stay. Cons-not within walking distance of tourist spots, the shower wasn’t powerful and the TV had no signal so we couldn’t watch the channels that were meant to be available but could log into our own Netflix account."

Causeway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely ideal place to stay at Giants Causeway. The staff was warm and friendly and made us feel like family. The food at the restaurant was exceptional as well. Our terrace room was ideal. Parking was 100 feet from the entry. Our room even included a delicious breakfast and entry to the Causeway Visitors Center & tour. My only regret is not staying longer. We will 100% be back, hopefully in summer time!"

Causeway Tavern B&B

8/10 Good

"Good value for the money, would have preferred to have breakfast earlier, but that's could just be us a we like to get an early start. The breakfast was excellent. Very narrow staires leading to all the upstairs rooms."

Beautiful seafront cottage, extensive private gardens, stunning sea views.

10/10 Excellent

"The setting of this property is stunning. To wake up to the beach view each morning and to fall asleep listening to the crashing waves! Idyllic!! We spent some quiet evenings up in the garden house with the lovely view. The beds were super comfy. Driving up and down the narrow switch back road is not for the faint of heart but well worth it!!"
