Dunseverick Ramblers Rest

10/10 Excellent
"The owner of the property was kind and considerate. She made sure the place was so well-stocked and made us feel so welcome it was almost more like staying over at a relative's house (one we like) than a hotel. The in-room amenities included (not an exhaustive list): table w/chairs (four), a sofa, a bathroom sized such that it wouldn't be amiss in the USA (unlike most of Europe's seemingly traditional half-sized bathrooms in which one may only relieve themselves with legs together), tea, sugar, milk (in fridge), coffee (instant or ground, via French press in room), a mini fridge, microwave, two-burner stovetop (ceramic electric) with exhaust hood overhead, tea kettle, dishware (glasses, plates, mugs, teapot), silverware, heated flooring, comfortable bedding, and (this is personally a huge plus) an extra cozy blanket. All of this and it was a fantastic price. I'd recommend this property to anyone heading out to Giant's Causeway (roughly 7min away)or Carrick-A-Rede(roughly 12min away) or anywhere up there really."
