Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

Causeway Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel does have a major advantage of its location, they don’t need to make big efforts to fill the rooms. Despite that, the staff was very welcoming and professional and the property is well maintained (the best that can be done with a listed building). The food quality….. that’s another story. Definitely not up to the standards for such a hotel. More like the food from petrol stations on motorways. It was a mistake to dine there and maybe I should have searched for decent restaurants in the vicinity. Breakfast also quite poor both quantity but mainly quality."

Bayview Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff and hotel was very good. However my dad was in a wheelchair and it all very cramped. He could only use the back entrance."

The Marcus Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Carnside Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect place to stay to access Giant's Causeway. Very nice room, very comfortable bed, nice shower. Breakfast was awesome. I did a walk from Portstewart to the guest house. I think in total it was 16 miles. I was exhausted by the time I got there. Then a panic, dinner? But lo and behold, two restaurants within a 15-20 minute walk. Phew! Loved this place!"

Marine Hotel Ballycastle

8/10 Good

"Great location. WiFi not great (in my room anyway) Great staff, friendly and helpful"
