My husband and I are planning a visit to Ireland. We have 2 nights in Derry, followed by 2 nights in Belfast then 2 nights to visit Giant's Causeway, the Old Bushmills distillery, Carrick-a Rede Bridge, Dunluce Castle, and Rathlin Island. We're interested in lodging (cottages, guest houses) and restaurants.

One of my favorite hotels is in this area, the Bayview Hotel in Port Ballintrae.

Gorgeous views over the harbor. Very close to Bushmills, Giants Causeway, and Dunluce Castle.

... or if you fancy a couple of nights in a castle along the Antrim Coast itself, there's this property managed by the Landmark Trust: https://www.irishlandmark.com/property/the-barbican/.
Located in the pretty seaside village of Glenarm.

Like Carol now retired, we stayed at the Bayview Hotel. Not only were the accommodations comfortable, the food in their restaurant was excellent. The only thing better than their hotel and food, is the staff. Excellent and friendly! My family often speaks of the Bayview. It is a place we would not miss when going back to that area.
