We loved talking with the owners who gave us great insight into the north of Ireland! It was the best part of our stay! The room, lounge areas, breakfast and parking were all good, though we didn’t realize house is in the middle of a more suburban block. Town is cute and not far away and location of the house worked out on our way back from visiting the Causeway (which we visited late in the evening - highly recommended in summer). Sending our best wishes to the owners!

Amazing place to stay

Our first time at Glass Island Boutique & it was amazing. Accommodation was a very high standard for furnishings, maintenance & cleaniness. Sharon was most welcoming & food was exceptional quality & was keen to accomodate my wife's gluten intolerance. Location was perfect for the harbour & for the local restaurants/bars. Would highly recommend & will book again.

I wish I could give this place 50 stars. It’s such a cozy and amazing spot. My only regret is I stayed for one night instead of several! Thank you so much for having me. I will be having dreams of how nice the room was and how delicious the smoked salmon bagel was for breakfast.

We loved our stay at the Glass island B&B. The hosts were so helpful and kind. They helped us book a reservation at a nearby restaurant that was delicious! The breakfast was one of the best we had on our trip. We can’t say enough about how clean and comfortable our room was. We would definitely stay again!

Nicely presented modern B&B, well positioned on a quiet street close to pubs and restaurants. Breakfast was excellent and a great start to the day. Only minor negative was that the room was very warm and the pillows were too hard for us.

Everything with our stay was perfect, the room was spacious, very tastefully arranged, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was impeccable and the hosts were professionalism personified. On top of all that, the location was excellent, only a short walk away from the town centre and a short drive away from a lot of the main attractions along the Giant’s Causeway coastline. Would definitely recommend

The experience you get at this B&B makes me want to never stay at a hotel or larger facility ever again. The hostess was extremely friendly, but not intrusive (sometimes, B&B hosts can be a bit too chatty). The quality and cleanliness of the room had it's highest marks. The type of room, service, food and overall experience that I got here, I'd expect from a hotel in the price range of $350 per night.

Great one night stay to facilitate Rathlin trip. Gorgeous spacious room, tv, & fan and good wet room. Some ground floor rooms if stairs an issue. Good breakfast cooked to order and parking for 5 cars. Sharon was very helpful and made dinner reservation at Anzac, excellent hake and lamb rump.
