Top Rathlin Island Ferry Hotel Reviews

Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

10/10 Excellent

"The owner of the property was kind and considerate. She made sure the place was so well-stocked and made us feel so welcome it was almost more like staying over at a relative's house (one we like) than a hotel. The in-room amenities included (not an exhaustive list): table w/chairs (four), a sofa, a bathroom sized such that it wouldn't be amiss in the USA (unlike most of Europe's seemingly traditional half-sized bathrooms in which one may only relieve themselves with legs together), tea, sugar, milk (in fridge), coffee (instant or ground, via French press in room), a mini fridge, microwave, two-burner stovetop (ceramic electric) with exhaust hood overhead, tea kettle, dishware (glasses, plates, mugs, teapot), silverware, heated flooring, comfortable bedding, and (this is personally a huge plus) an extra cozy blanket. All of this and it was a fantastic price. I'd recommend this property to anyone heading out to Giant's Causeway (roughly 7min away)or Carrick-A-Rede(roughly 12min away) or anywhere up there really."

10/10 Excellent

"The setting of this property is stunning. To wake up to the beach view each morning and to fall asleep listening to the crashing waves! Idyllic!! We spent some quiet evenings up in the garden house with the lovely view. The beds were super comfy. Driving up and down the narrow switch back road is not for the faint of heart but well worth it!!"

Stay Lagom Lodge
