Top Rathlin Island Ferry Hotel Reviews

Private luxury log cabin with hot tub and stunning views!

10/10 Excellent

"Such a relaxing break away! Such peace, spectacular views & a cabin that provided everything we needed. The hosts were just lovely & can’t wait to go back again!"

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."

The Salthouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Salthouse is in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea, our room with two queen beds was spacious and very comfortable the large bathroom immaculate. Food and service for dinner and breakfast excellent."

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

10/10 Excellent

"make sure to pay attention to the little details, you won't be disappointed"

Stay Lagom Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The Quad room had plenty of space, and the king bed was very comfortable. Also, we enjoyed the openness of the shared kitchen and living room. There was even fresh bread, teas and coffees available as part of the stay the next morning."

Glass Island Boutique Luxury B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our one night stay at this B&B. The room was spotless and modern, and the bed was very comfortable. Located on a residential street, the B&B offers plenty of parking and is just a short walk from restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. This was our best stay during our tour of Northern Ireland. Highly recommend staying here."
