The owners were nothing but kind and welcoming to us. I’ve never had such personal care and attention even in luxury hotels. They were kind enough to lend us bikes as we had no car to make it to town. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Perfect location and wonderful host

We had a fantastic stay here to see the Giant’s Causeway. Gail provided all sorts of tips for visiting that site and several others in the area that we weren’t even aware of. Location is central to many tourist destinations along this part of the coast. Very clean and comfortable room. Would definitely stay here again.

Bushmills Gem

We adventured a great distance and experienced Ireland in so many wonderful ways. We found this place last minute as we were passing thru Bushmills and were pleasantly surprised. This was one our of favorite places to stay. The room was great and Gale was so accommodating to our GF breakfast option.

Rest-a-While is a beautiful property in the Causeway countryside that invites you to relax and slow down a bit. Gail is a lovely hostess, juggling all the plates it takes to provide a custom-cooked breakfast and the comforts of home at the beautifully appointed B&B. Aside from this dream destination, Rest-a-While creates a holiday that stands out for lack of stress and plenty of adventure.

Gail was amazing! She was very accommodating and had excellent suggestions for dining. In addition, to my surprise, she offered avocado toast for breakfast—it was my first sighting of avocado since leaving California almost two weeks—_ big plus in my book!
