The Inn is an old historic building. The decor is is quite nice and very comfortable. The restaurant dinner was outstanding! The Inn and the restaurant are both very pricey, but a for a true splurge the are worth it.

We have brought our baby and The staff are so lovely taking care of us. They would reserve a table just for us. Every one is so friendly and helpful. Seafood is excellent. I had my best seafood starter in the UK. Breakfast is also great. Easy to park. If there’s anything, there’s a little bug on the floor in our room that our baby picked up and tried to put in her mouth, but I stopped it immediately.

This is a cute old hotel, but clean and updated with sitting room. The shower was very difficult to figure out. Dining was nice and the pub had many areas to sit. Parking is free and plenty of it. In the heart of the town. Not much going on in this town.

Lovely, cozy hotel by the Giants Causeway. The staff are absolutely fabulous. The food was a little pricey, but very good. The rooms are very large and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the Nespresso, coffee, and the morning. The beds are comfortable. The pillows are comfortable. The showers are clean and fully stocked with everything you could need.

We had a lovely stay at the Bushmills Inn during our vacation. The staff was very professional and kind. The room was great - loved the loft! Super close and convenient to the Bushmills Distillery and Giants Causeway We ate dinner and breakfast at the Inn. My ribeye was overdone and the waitstaff never checked on us to see if the meal was OK - that’s my only negative comment. The Inn also did not offer to remedy the situation (make a new steak, etc). Otherwise, the food was excellent. The croissants are probably the best I’ve had outside of Paris! We did not have desert but our daughter previously visited the Inn and said our future son on law’s favorite dessert is now the Bushmills sticky toffee pudding.

Wonderful hotel! The atmosphere is just beautiful and historical. Staff were phenomenal! So pleasant and willing to go above and beyond. It was a nice walk to Bushmills distillery and a short drive to many points of interest. Food was wonderful. We had a 2 floor room that was immaculate and had a great soaker tub. Only issue was lack of dresser or cabinet for clothes. No room upstairs for suitcase and closet was very awkward. A dresser or cabinet in living room would make a huge difference. Loved the hotel and would highly recommend!

Bushmills Hotel is a quaint place, lovely decor, room was a good space, comfortable bed. Shower was difficult to regulate. Sofa cushions kept sinking down so a bar kept popping up. Dining room had rather unfriendly staff. A manager in a suit was very stone faced and felt quite unfriendly. For the high cost we expected more.
