"Spectacular stay" My wife and I stayed three nights in the Portandoo room which was charming and comfortable with a view of the ocean. The beautiful home has been redone with every detail attended to. There were two very cozy public rooms on the floor we were on which were great for relaxing and a variety of Bushmills to enjoy before dinner. My wife and I are vegan and Nicola went out of her way to prepare delicious choices for breakfast each day. She couldn't have been a better hostess. Anticipated all of our needs and made arrangements for our dining, transportation and recommendations of things to do. We really enjoyed getting to know Nicola and hear her stories of what it was like to grow up in this beautiful spot. Hopefully we will get the chance to stay here again. Thanks for everything

"Lovely B&B" Beautiful view. Nice, easy walk along ocean promenade to the heart of the harbour and good restaurants. The home is beautifully appointed with very nice touches throughout. Nicola is a wonderful hostess. She made good suggestions for managing our time, provided us with dinner reservations and discount coupons to major points if interest. Breakfast was five star with locally sourced items.

"Enjoyed our stay" Nicola is a very attentive host and catered well for our vegetarian and vegan requirements. The beds were comfortable but we found that the duvets were a little too hot in August. We would be happy to return.

"Minimoom magic at Blackrock" We LOVE this place. Nicola is a fabulous host who always makes us feel.so welcome. Our minimoom was wonderful and my husband (a chef) commented that our breakfast was the best cooked breakfast he has ever had. The Ramore room is glorious, stunning views and incredibly comfortable. Don't look past it when looking for accommodation in Portrush.

"Birthday Delight" What a gem of a place, and Nicola could not have been more helpful and accommodating.
After getting caught in the rain on our motorbike Nicola warmly welcomed us in (2hours early) and took our wet jackets to dry them off.
Our room was spotless, beautifully finnished and so pretty, the chill out room and living area were so relaxing and tastelfully decorated, the honesty bar was such a welcome touch, the rain ensured we made good use of it.
Nicola has clearly put a lot of work into creating a place of comfort and style and i am so pleased she is receiving the recognition she so rightly deserves. Cannot recomend this place enough, we will definately be back.
