Top Red Bay Castle Hotel Reviews

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."

"The parking was very easy. The hostess was incredibly warm and very helpful. She welcomed us with superb cakes and tea as we checked in.
