“The Inn On The Coast positions itself perfectly for exploring the Causeway Coastal Route; I like that it's unpretentious and welcoming, especially if you're bringing a dog. Its location gives it uninterrupted views of the Atlantic and surrounding cliffs, so you might want to spend sunset in the pub. I appreciate the hotel's commitment to families and golfers, with spacious rooms and proximity to Royal Portrush.”

Acceptable stay near the coast

spacious room clean room friendly reception dated room poor food burnt pizza
The room was spacious and clean. The reception greeting was friendly. There are good breakfast options and a really good breakfast host.
The room we got was very dated. It was not one of the modern ones shown in the pictures with wooden floors. The food in the restaurant was very poor. We got a 12' pizza that we had to return as it was burnt.

a nice dog-friendly experience

genuine warmth pleasant area short walk
The staff showed genuine warmth. the updated hotel was clean. It faces the sea. a pleasant area exists to sit outside of the bar. i also found a restaurant called tides a short walk away
i noticed our towels were changed daily, even when we hung them up to conserve resources. the hotel encourages guests to reuse towels.
