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.

Great breakfast!

The staff were very kind and they try their best to meet their customers' needs. It might just have been our room, but the water never seemed to get hot and it seemed to come out a bit slowly. The location is wonderful and it is nice and quiet. Breakfast was very good.

Great for a night's stay.

The staff are kind, but probably overworked. Do not come before 4 p.m. as you will have to wait until 4 to be let in. The water has the lowest pressure of over 100 hotels and B and B's where we have stayed and the water is not hot. The food is excellent and there are many choices. The location is perfect. The parking is ample. Some rooms are very small and all TV sets are tiny, but hopefully TV isn't why you are there. The wifi is very good, but Amazon Prime video thinks the system is using a VPN and it won't give you your service (if you are from a non-UK country) without charging a fee. The staff are very kind and they try to provide the services that the diverse cliental request. Service=5 stars. Rooms=3 stars. View and location=10 stars.

The place is perfectly located for a visit to the Giant’s Causeway. The room was spotless and basic, but adequate for a 1 night stay. The view from the front of the property is spectacular. However our room looked on to an unsightly courtyard. Ok, I get it - not all rooms can have a view. My problem was with the attitude of the younger person (I assume, the owner’s daughter - nobody introduced themselves to us by name). When I politely asked whether there was a possibility of moving to a room with a view she became very defensive and said aggressively, ‘the website clearly said that room does not have a view.’ I had not complained about the view, merely asked about the possibility of moving. She then said ‘we are fully booked’. Yet there was a sign in the window saying ‘vacancies, please call in.’ The next morning when I asked how to operate the shower, she again was really rude, saying brusquely: ‘the instructions are in the information sheet’. I had not seen the brief line about the shower, not expecting to need to read about how to use it! We definitely did not experience the warm welcome and hospitality other reviewers have reported. I would not stay there again. This experience stands out as my one sour note in a week of warmth and friendliness in Ireland.

What a terrific surprise! Extremely comfortable stay and enjoyed being in the middle of a working farm overlooking the Giants Causeway . They even have a kids farm area. Breakfast was very good and we went over the Causeway hotel for a drink a great walk along the cliffs.
