This nondescript semi-Georgian facade, one of the first in a long row of many similar looking…read moreresidences opposite a modest commercial harbour, hides a very comfortable, eclectically appointed reception area where you are greeted warmly and helpfully by the proprietor. Don't worry if you have lots of luggage - if you can make it down the first short hall to the LIFT (elevator) your heavy luggage is not problem! Be warned though, the elevator is small, the door closes very quickly behind you, and unlike elevators in the States, it does not optically sense the presence of a lagging leg or arm and keeps closing until you physically hit it to stop it. Our room was spacious, with a medium to large TV, a mini fridge, a tea/coffee set (including Aero brand hot chocolate packets - a nice touch), and a very handy multi plug surge protector. We had a room without a "sea view" which overlooked an alley and the back of adjacent houses, but this was no big deal to us. The breakfast was ample, delicious, and served by a very friendly hostess who chatted us up when we asked her for her opinion on local activities, etc. She was very kind and approachable, and the food was excellent. Special note - We accidentally left behind a child's violin when we left Port Rush. I arranged for a courier service to pick it up and deliver it to our next destination in Dublin, which they did. But the courier service picks up the items "as is" and does not put them in shipping boxes. When the violin arrived, I discovered the Avarest folks had not only printed out and affixed the shipping label I faxed to them, but went to the trouble of expertly wrapping the violin in cardboard and bubble wrap to avoid any damage. They went the extra mile, we got a good night sleep, and this B&B is highly recommended. Why not stay at a place run by really good people?

Came here last weekend to visit friends who were staying here. I wish i had booked here! But you…read morehave to reserve a room here well in advance, this place is seriously popular, and for good reason. The house and grounds are beautiful; and the interior is just gorgeous. All high ceilings and space and loveliness and cleanliness; it's much more like a hotel than a B&B. Sharon and Dave are very welcoming and i loved the little touches; proper toiletries, tea and free chocolate upon arrival, beautiful accessories in the bedrooms. The bathrooms are large and luxurious. They have obviously put a great deal of thought into what makes a great place to stay. It's worth going to Portrush just to come here. Oh and no children. Bliss.

The location is convenient to downtown Portrush. Breakfast in the morning was freshly made, and always delicious. Fresh baked croissants with the steam coming out of them melt in your mouth. The highlight of the stay though was the warmth and hospitality of owners Rod and Kerry. They are absolute angels. We were a bit of a rowdy group, drinking and gambling until all hours and Rod & Kerry couldn't have been more supportive and accommodating. At one point, I asked Kerry if I could do a load of laundry and she told me to just leave my bag of dirty clothes outside my room. When I arrived back to the property after a day of golf, mt clothes were freshly cleaned, folded and organized on my bed. Such magnificent service and always with a loving smile. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
