“Renowned inn offering genuine Irish hospitality and scrumptious food in its award-winning restaurant. Classic-chic bedrooms in neutral tones with four poster beds. A warren of little snugs and Wild West-esque gas bar create a cosy ambiance. A great choice for groups and families.”

Hotel review

Prices are on the high side at this much loved inn where locals mix with tourists, many on golfing holidays, in a warren of little snugs leading to the Gas Bar, with strong echoes of a Wild West saloon and much conviviality. Bedrooms are panelled in wood, and, while comfortable, are not in the first flush of youth decor-wise. But if furnishings aren't up to the mark, the genuine Irish hospitality (all staff are local) most certainly is. Lots of American guests.

"Wonderfully rustic – all panelling, beams and oil lamps – the inn comes into its own at night: sup a Guinness on a rocking chair in front of the turf fire, feast on Ulster beef or steaming seafood chowder in the restaurant."

Bushmills Inn, County Antrim | Hotel review

"Ravioli of beetroot and ricotta with a dressing infused with fig and pistachio, fillet steak flambéed in whiskey, pan-seared Finnebrogue venison with unctuous cassis-laced gravy – we're in heaven."
