Schönes Hotel in traumhafter Lage direkt am Meer
Pros:

So ein süßes, kleines Hotel an der Nordküste!
Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichlich, unser Zimmer mit Blick auf das Meer war wunderschön, die Betten waren bequem und das Restaurant war sehr lecker. Alles war wirklich fantastisch!

Auch die Lage ist toll, nur 5 Minuten mit dem Auto zum Giant's Causeway und nach Bushmills. Ein Mietwagen ist aber sicher sinnvoll.
