The place is perfectly located for a visit to the Giant’s Causeway. The room was spotless and basic, but adequate for a 1 night stay. The view from the front of the property is spectacular. However our room looked on to an unsightly courtyard. Ok, I get it - not all rooms can have a view. My problem was with the attitude of the younger person (I assume, the owner’s daughter - nobody introduced themselves to us by name). When I politely asked whether there was a possibility of moving to a room with a view she became very defensive and said aggressively, ‘the website clearly said that room does not have a view.’ I had not complained about the view, merely asked about the possibility of moving. She then said ‘we are fully booked’. Yet there was a sign in the window saying ‘vacancies, please call in.’ The next morning when I asked how to operate the shower, she again was really rude, saying brusquely: ‘the instructions are in the information sheet’. I had not seen the brief line about the shower, not expecting to need to read about how to use it! We definitely did not experience the warm welcome and hospitality other reviewers have reported. I would not stay there again. This experience stands out as my one sour note in a week of warmth and friendliness in Ireland.

What a terrific surprise! Extremely comfortable stay and enjoyed being in the middle of a working farm overlooking the Giants Causeway . They even have a kids farm area. Breakfast was very good and we went over the Causeway hotel for a drink a great walk along the cliffs.

My husband and I stayed here for the first night of our honeymoon. It is within walking distance to the Giants Causeway. Fantastic views and very quiet and peaceful. The staff was the best part. Very friendly and helpful. Our breakfast was hot, delicious, and they were able to accommodate me with a gluten free meal. We will DEFINITELY stay here again when we visit Northern Ireland.

Wonderfully amazing hosts at this guest house who go above and beyond. The property has an old-world charm about it. Everything is spotlessly clean. The breakfast is very generous with plenty of options. The location is perfect for exploring the picture perfect coastline.

We had a wonderful time at this pastoral guest house within walking distance (~15 minutes) of Giant’s Causeway. Great views of the Causeway and the surrounding hills, and a yummy breakfast. We loved the history of the house and dairy farm, which is run by the same family for generations.

Countryside B&B just a one-minute drive from the Giant's Causeway. The staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful. The rooms were a good size, while the bathrooms were usable but very dated. Good local breakfast. The kids enjoyed walking around the farm and seeing the animals. No dinner/drinks options, however you can get both at the Causeway Hotel just down the road.

What a great place. Quaint and family run. Rustic but everything was super clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great and you cant beat the location if you're visiting the Causeway. We would definitely stay again!
