ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Located in the village that is home to the world's oldest distillery, the quaint Bushmills Inn lies between the Giant's Causeway and Royal Portrush Golf Club. Since reopening in 1987, the Inn has come to epitomize the true spirit of Ulster hospitality and has been outstandingly successful in recreating its origins as an old Coaching Inn. The welcoming glow of four turf fires, oil lamps and stripped pine are just some of the features that give this historic inn its intriguing character.

The quaint, individually decorated bedrooms of the Coaching Inn are complemented by the larger, cottage-style rooms in the Mill House on the banks of the River Bush, which is renowned for its salmon. There is a secret library to be explored (if you can find it), while the bar, which is still lit by gaslight, is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of 25 year-old Bushmills malt whiskey from the hotel's private cask, prior to sampling the culinary delights of the Taste of Ulster Restaurant with its whitewashed walls and intimate snugs.

Besides the nearby golf courses of Royal Portrush, Castlerock and Portstewart, there are many attractions in the area to explore. The Giant's Causeway, recognised in some quarters as the eighth wonder of the world, is a must, while the Old Bushmills Distillery is also worth a visit. Precariously perched on a sheer cliff, overlooking the rocks where the Spanish Armada met its fate, Dunluce Castle, which was built by the Normans in the 12th century and the spectacular Carrick-a-rede rope bridge are also situated nearby and should certainly be visited.
