Top Sheep Island Hotel Reviews

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!"

Carnside Guest House

8/10 Good

"We stayed here one night on our road trip in Ireland, and if you’re looking to be close to the Giants Causeway, this is your spot! You can walk or drive down outside of the visitor centre hours and then walk 15 mins to the basalt columns before the crowds. The property is homey, if a bit dated. The bed in our unit was ok, but the pillows could definitely be replaced. The breakfast was lovely, there’s a continental option included and then a made to order hot breakfast for extra cost. We also used the hot tub in the evening….for a £15 pp charge incl a drink. We were there after dark, but sunset would be stunning. The views out all the windows were spectacular, and this was a great stay for our needs, and there was lots of parking."

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!"

The Manor House

10/10 Excellent

"Great inn/motel- walkable from the ferry and to the only pub on the island- the Food breakfast and dinner are outstanding- the staff check in and service were excellent and the room comfy clean and lovely- Thank you- I'll be back!"

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."
