On our second to last night in Ireland, my husband splurged and wanted to surprise me with a stay…read moreat this quaint and old Inn in Northern Ireland, one of the premier spots to stay. The Inn has a restaurant and bar lounge with live music and there are fireplaces throughout the property. When I found out how much he paid for the room I was in slight shock. I guess the only room left at the time of booking was a large two story suite with a loft bedroom and bath, and a living room and bathroom downstairs. The accommodations were rustic wood with modern touches, tiled bathroom, etc. We arrived at the property later in the evening so we dined and then listened to live music in the lounge. The bed and linens were the finest in all of our Ireland stay, but the large King bed was divided with two mattresses. The view from the suite was looking into the interior garden and was quite peaceful, charming and breathtaking. For the price of the stay, I expected things like unlimited complimentary bottled water, and hotel staff at desk when items were needed after hours. I did love the calming balm that was put by our bedside, a mint/herbal balm to rub on temples prior to sleep, definitely the best nights sleep of the entire trip.

So, the husband and I found ourselves in the unusual position of having an overnight baby sitter…read more Oh the joy, the world was our oyster and the hours before 9am the next morning were ours, ours, ours. We could have settled for a night out, but we decided to really push the boat out and go away for the night, and carefully ignored the smutty sniggering from our less refined friends. We decided on the Bushmills Inn and booked a double room. Imagine my delirious excitement when the very friendly young chap at reception told us we had been given the bridal suite. We waited for him to say 'suckers, only joking', but that didn't happen and he did indeed give us the keys to one of the best suites in the hotel. It was just beautiful, a huge room with vaulted ceiling, massive bed and a full size sitting area with an open fire. All of the furniture and curtains etc were plush and luxurious and I could have spent all my time in the bathroom. The bathroom was also huge, very traditional in style with a lush free standing slipper bath. The rest of the hotel was lovely too and we had to work hard to get round and sit in all the public areas - the bar, the library and the sung downstairs. We ate out elsewhere for dinner but our breakfast next morning was fab - the full Ulster and it was tasty, not greasy and beautifully presented. All in all our one night stay was pretty much perfect - good service, good food and a wonderful room. I would absolutely recommend the Bushmills Inn for an overnight treat for locals and tourists alike.

The "gentleman" at the front desk was not honest about what was booked or not available and was rude to boot. Not only that the travel cot we paid for is nowhere to be found.

Although I did find the Carrick -a-rede rope bridge and Dunluce Castle slightly more interesting The causeway is a nice stop for a midday meal particularly because they allow you to use your parking pass for a rebate on the restaurant bill. Just remember to bring your stub in. Ireland is not really known I think for its iced coffee drinks so probably steer clear of ordering an Iced latte. Not horrible, but not great. The food however, was pretty tasty. We got the Carmelized onion and goat cheese tart And the Pan seared Rockville farm chicken. Both were done well, and the price is paid. If you can eat in the back of the restaurant, it probably has slightly more character as the front has windows only looking out to the parking lot. Parking is free for guest of the hotel. Otherwise you pay 10 pounds.

Prices in the pub were pretty decent, and the menu was broad enough that we didn't regret not going either into town or over to the nicer dining room in the hotel. In the room itself, the shower was nice & hot, the bathroom and tub were spacious, and the amenities-bathrobe and slippers, very comfy. I especially appreciated the towel warmer! So...why only three stars?? This hotel is clearly in flux and it showed. Our room smelled like it had been recently painted and then not aired out-I thought it smelled like paint or varnish, She said it smelled like wet aspirin. It was not overpowering, but opening the windows everyday even when it's not booked would do the room a world of good. The gym was not available, and was in the middle of being "refurbished". I REALLY expect/want to be able to work out at a place like this (it excuses all the vacation eating...and drinking...that I do), especially as the gym is highly touted on the website. BUT, I understand, stuff happens. So put out a dern sign or something announcing the gym closure. I wandered all over the place looking for it, then finally went down to the front desk and asked (see, guys CAN stop and ask for directions...eventually...) the clerk there where it was. That's when I learned that the gym was closed. So there I was, snazzy bright blue running shorts on my manly legs, blinding the entire lobby in their winter whiteness, and I had nowhere to go but back to the room in shame. The food at the breakfast was sub-par. And that's the nicest thing I can say about it. On the plus side again, the coffee/tea/cookies tray in the room was well stocked and had a nice variety, one of the best I've seen. Bottom Line: An open window and an informative sign would make this a 4+ star experience...

The dining room is cosy and modern with a flat screen tv displaying a constant video of a fish tank which is quite relaxing. My meal came the chips were better than last time the chicken goujons were ok but I wasn't keen on them, the garlic dip was nice but the crunchy pieces of garlic were a bit much, the side salad was nice but they didn't put any dressing at all on it so it was a bit bland. Nice hotel , nice decor, prices are reasonable. Steps entrance to front or ramp entrance to the side. The food has improved a bit from last time but I wouldn't be in a rush to get something to eat in the Adelphi, good place for a quick drink though, bottles of wine from £9. Parking on street.
