There’s accommodation for every budget — from boutique guesthouses with panoramic views to luxury hotels, all within easy reach of the Giant’s Causeway. Here are our favourites.
The Causeway Hotel, Bushmills
You can’t stay much closer to the Giant’s Causeway than at the Causeway Hotel, right next to the Visitor Centre and a short walk to the head of the footpath down to the hexagonal rocks. Both the Causeway Hotel and the Visitor Centre are run by the National Trust. The hotel itself is a piece of history — a Grade II-listed building first constructed in 1836. Rooms facing the Atlantic have panoramic views past Dunluce Castle and Portrush toward Portstewart Strand. Free parking, free wifi, and every room en-suite.

Bushmills Inn, Bushmills
A short trip down the road from the Causeway Hotel, one of the most well-known hotels in Northern Ireland. A historic coaching inn from the 17th century, updated into an upmarket boutique hotel that retains original features — a hayloft snug double through to rooms with four-poster beds. The Bushmills whiskey distillery is a short walk away, and the Inn even has its own cinema.
