Excellent
Pros:

Beautiful hotel. I took my friend for her birthday meal and we were both very pleased. The decor is exquisite and service excellent. Very comfortable hotel and absolutely no rush to vacate our table as in other restaurants in the local vicinity. We both really enjoyed our meal and drinks all of which are reasonably priced. My first visit to Elephant Rock and I look forward to returning. My new favourite venue….thankyou.

Cocktails and Nibbles
Pros:

Had an amazing experience here from start to finish. The hostess lady Charlotte was so welcoming and friendly the moment we arrived — she made us feel comfortable straight away and handled everything so professionally while still being warm and approachable.

Scott, our waiter, was absolutely brilliant all night. Attentive without being overbearing, really knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely made the whole experience more enjoyable with his great attitude and sense of humour. You can tell he really cares about giving customers a great experience.

The barman Sree also deserves a big mention — the drinks were spot on, beautifully made, and served quickly. You could see the effort and skill that went into every cocktail.

Overall, the food, drinks, and service were all outstanding. Staff like these are exactly why people come back. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning

Cocktails and a few nibbles with the girls
Pros:

A great night all round. Special shout out to Scott who served us, was so attentive despite a busy tour bus arriving around the same time as us. Food came promptly and no need to leave your seat-table service lets you sit back and relax. Delicious cocktails perfect for a sit down with friends or a celebration-will defo be back! Charlotte the hostess was more than welcoming making our experience great from the minute we walked through the door!

So friendly and kind!
Pros:

The staff are SO incredibly kind. The housekeeper offered to drive my to my massage appointment, as it was a bank holiday and there were no taxis available. That touch of kindness truly made my entire stay. The food was DELICIOUS. The rooms were so clean and well kept. It was so incredibly quiet, I slept wonderfully. 10/10 recommend!

Cute hotel with great location
Pros:

A cute little hotel on the water in Portrush. All of the rooms are different and fun colors. Rooms are fairly small but typical for European hotels. Great location to walk into the little town, friendly staff, good food.
