Close to Bushmills and even closer to Giants Causway. Hot tubs look out west over the sea with a beautiful sunset view. Breakfast was terrific. If I find myself in that area again, I’d definitely go back.

A fabulous place to stay beautiful views and really handy for a visit to The Giants Causeway. Very welcoming and friendly family, with a superb choice for the buffet breakfast that is included and also an option to preorder a great value cooked breakfast as an extra. Comfy beds, good shower, couldn't want for more. Will definitely be back to give the cocktail and hottub with a view experience a go. Well recommended

The location of the hotel is great, which was the only positive aspect of my stay. Unfortunately, the room was very disappointing — the bed had bugs and the bedsheets had an unpleasant smell. Breakfast was also quite limited in terms of options. Overall, the stay did not meet expectations.

Cairnside is a lovely B&B with a rich family history. We loved the location and enjoyed the walk to the Giant’s Causeway. The breakfasts were hot and filling and there was a lot of variety. We had the triple room with a great view. We would highly recommend this spot.
