Manor House Self Catering Accommodation Portballintrae - Bushmills

KMart2110

The location is great for visiting the Giants's Causeway. The visitor centre is a 2km walk around the coastline from the Manor House. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was everything you could ask for. All for a good value 60GBP for a double. The owners (Martin and Janette) are friendly and helpful. I would recommend the Manor House to others.||The only downside is that there are really only 2 places to go out for dinner in Portballintrae (The Bayview and Sweeney's). The next town is Bushmills which was almost completely closed on a Saturday night.

Firstly I would like to say that I WOULD stay here again, despite my heading! This is a lovely, SPOTLESSLY clean guesthouse right on the bay, with amazing views if you get a front room. I mainly dealt with Janette, and found her a little frightening to be honest! In fairness, we rocked up to her door on a very busy day in August, when the town had had it's first orange order march in 7 years, so it was packed. Luckily she had a room available, even though she didn't seem too enthusastic about us knocking on her door (greeted with "I suppose you want to have a look first")! We also had to fill out a sheet with our breakfast requirements hand it back by 10.30pm SHARP - or else! Each room had a name, and in the morning you sat at the table with that name on it (or else!!!). I found all this quite funny, but it meant a smooth breakfast delivery. I found Martin very friendly, and while I found the rules particular, I have to say the room was lovely, the bathroom was as clean as it gets and if that's all I had to put up with I was a very happy customer! I'd also recommend the Bayview for food, we had a gorgeous meal there, it's about a five minute walk along some spectacular coastline. The Manor is also brilliantly located for the Giant's Causeway, maybe a 40 minute walk, or a short drive, and get there before 11ish, when the huge groups of giant tour busses come. If you get there before that, you have lots of the place to yourself, and what's wrong with that!

We stayed at the Manor House as a large family group. The location was perfect as the hotel is a few steps away from a sheltered beach, just right for young children. All the rooms were clean, comfortable and unusually large and spacious for a B&B. We stayed in "The Fort" on the top floor, which had wonderful views. The food was excellent and the service helpful and friendly. When our little boy left his cuddly tiger behind (down the side of the bed!), the toy arrived back with us via royal mail within a couple of days - it's little things like that that really make a difference!

We booked online through Martin and he was nice enough to let us pay in full in advanced. We stayed in Anchorage 7, and thankfully they had a system where they didn't have to wait on us to check in because we were traveling on public transportation from Dublin and missed our train to Coleraine and had to wait an extra hour (and it was Sunday, so buses to portballintrae weren't running as often), so we were fairly late. We are really close to the ocean and the house is very nice. It is very large and roomy with 3 floors and 4 bedrooms. The little Shop up the road was never opened while we were here (due to off season, I believe) so all of our shopping was done in Bushmills. It is maybe a 15/20 min walk to bushmills if you want to save some money on travel. This location is perfect to see some great sights. We were able to walk to giant's causeway, took the 172 to carrick-a-rede, and walked to Dunluce Castle. It's very reasonably priced and very clean .

I stayed at the Manor House for a week early this year. The accommodations were fine, the breakfast spectacular, and the treatment better than I could have imagined. The Manor House is an old and elegant house that I look forward to visiting again.
