Another incredible location to check out when out at causeway coast. I love that this location is so close to the causeways so they could be done in the same day if needed. The castle itself is very unreal and beautiful. The tickets are cheap which is a huge plus. I recommend going down the path to get a farther outside view of the castle. The walk to the castle from the parking area is very short but there is limited parking so getting there early is better.

My wife and I went here on a Belfast City Tour and it did not disappoint. It is a large ruin of a castle on the edge of a cliff. Its kept in great shape but the workers there and they are all pleasant and helpful. Spectacular views and gives a great feel of what it would have been like when it was original. Well worth the drive out to it.

We lucked out enough to be there later in the afternoon on a gorgeous day. The staff at the gift shop/ticket shop were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were well cared for and the castle is just beautiful. You can really feel the history walking around it.

Amazing views, easy access. Quick tour around ruins of the castle without booking. Love cliff’s view around the castle. Just astonishing ❤️ Easy place to take kids for short walk with access to toilets. 10-15 minutes away from Giant’s Castaways so good to add that stop to your trip ☺️

This was a great spot to visit. The castle has been very well maintained and the staff are very knowledgeable about the grounds and the area. They have recreated images of the original interior at each part which is a lovely touch. We felt like we got good value for money as its so well cared for. There is also stunning views of the coastline from up top, particularly of the White rocks.

Such an amazing time. The views were astounding and the blast of the cool ocean air was lovely. To be able to feel the ancient stone and foundation of this castle in person was enchanting. Its incredible to see the remnants are still standing after all this time.

These are beautiful castle ruins on an incredible cliff face. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful. This is an experience you should go out of your way to have!

I had a lovely evening at the beach it is great lots of sand and lots of space for playing games and walking. The views are stunning aswell however there did not seem to be any available lifeguards on duty maybe because it was the evening time. An ice cream van is also sometimes there so it is very good.

East Strand Beach, in Portrush, is a fantastic spot. It’s clean, well kept and boasts ample parking opportunities. This car park operates on a pay and display system, and during the good weather you’ll find the ‘Freezian Ice Cream’ ice cream van - which offers a healthy range of treats. Whether you’re down for a stroll, taking in the stunning coastal scenery, or just looking a quiet spot to relax and soak up the sun - this beach delivers an exceptional experience. Perfect for families, groups, individuals and appears to be pet friendly.

It great spot for family, new surfers and seasoned surfers. The life guards are great. Facilities in general are good. Beach always clean.

Had an absolutely amazing time at Portrush! The views were truly out of this world it completely blew my mind! 🌄 The scenery is so picturesque, and it felt like I was in another world. Great vibes with friends, and the perfect spot to unwind and take in nature’s beauty. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful yet jaw-dropping escape. Can’t wait to come back! 👏💙

It's a very nice, clean, and peaceful beach - what else can I say. 😂

Where Sand, Surf and Coffee Collide in Coastal Harmony A glorious stretch of sand so long and golden it could make the Sahara blush, and yet it’s conveniently located beside a public loo and a decent flat white. What more could you ask for? First things first: practicality. There’s ample parking — not the usual panic-inducing handful of spaces that demand a sacrificial offering to the parking gods. No, this is proper, stress-free parking with enough room for the whole family, the dog, the dog’s emotional baggage, and several surfboards. Toilets are nearby too, cleanish and functional, which in British beach terms is basically luxury. And then there’s Chosen Coffee — the name says it all. Whether you need to warm up, wake up or just wallow in the comfort of caffeine, it’s a necessary pit stop for beachgoers who appreciate their espresso as much as their sand dunes. Speaking of which — this place is a walker’s wonderland. You can stroll eastward along the beach towards White Rocks, let your feet sink into the sand as you amble west into Portrush itself, or take the scenic route around the peninsula past Arcadia, where the views are so good they ought to come with a warning for excessive swooning. Sunsets here? Sublime. The sky doesn’t just change colour — it performs. Golds, pinks, oranges and the occasional moody grey all dance across the sea as surfers catch their last waves and photographers silently weep with joy. Whether you’re here for the perfect shot, the salty air, or to watch your children dig a hole halfway to Australia, there’s something for everyone. Surfers carve through the waves like seals with swagger. Kids sprint around like they’ve been given a sugar IV. Dog walkers parade their four-legged friends as if auditioning for Crufts-on-Sea. And photographers? Well, they just stand still looking smug — and rightly so. In short, East Strand is more than just a beach. It’s an all-singing, all-dancing, sand-between-your-toes experience — with great coffee, even better views, and enough space for both peaceful paddling and full-throttle seaside chaos. Go once, and you’ll wonder why you ever wasted time sunbathing in silence.

Lovely beach and the car park is just beside it. And also the beach races are good craic to watch.

It is what it is, an everyday spinoff from the splendid restaurant upstairs but definitely on a cafe level. I had the Chinese Chicken Curry which was lovely and my wife had the 55 Hamburger. Both meals were lovely but were too much. I felt guilty at not being able to finish mine and my wife was the same about her burger which came with chips and pepper sauce. The view is great looking across at The Skerries. The birds can be a bit of a nuisance but you're not allowed to feed them so do so at your own peril.

Lovely staff, great view, good food! It's 2023 now and we were visiting Port Rush again and decided to have Sunday dinner! We were very disappointed.....service was very, very slow....ordered a cocktail and it didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it! It took quite a while for food to come. Granted it was very busy. My dinner was not hot, mashed potatoes were cold as well as the vegetables and meat. The beef was flavorful as well as the roasted potatoes. The desert was delicious, but we actually had to track someone down to get it! Still has a spectacular view!

We visited here after a bracing walk along Whiterocks Beach and it was such a perfect little stop. Fantastic views, lovely service from the young man and the chef did a great job on lunch. Goujons for me and a club sandwich for the husband. For lunch time, those with smaller appetites might like to share a meal as they are extremely generous with portions! Everything very clean (including toilets).

Nice cafe situated with a beautiful view over the harbour area. Prices are on the little expensive side, but the quality of food was excellent. Staff were very polite and helpful. There is no direct parking at the venue, but there is parking available a short walk away. There are toilet facilities there.

I didn’t like the restaurant only thing is view is great but tables were dirty and food wasn’t even tasteful. Toilets were very good and clean. Burger wasn’t good chips had too much oil and pizza was very dry.Salad didn’t have any tomato but full of onion pepper. Not recommended sorry.

Food was delicious and good portions, however the service was quite poor in comparison to previous visits. Waiters were quite young, but quite brash and looked miserable as someone 'doing their job' but I wouldn't expect them to go that extra mile, that's the impression I got.

Superb place at the beach entrance in Portrush, perhaps one of the best spots in the city where you get to see the sea and enjoy a diversified menu with big portions—I’d say American portion. My only disappointment was the fact that the main room upstairs was closed during our visit. Other than that, I’d give four stars and half.

Called in for a late lunch. Staff very attentive and friendly. We were told there was a bit of a wait as there were a few tables in front of us but it honestly felt like no time at all. Obviously a popular place and dog friendly with a section of the menu just for pups - brilliant! Will definitely recommend this cafe.

Stopped here as we were touring the North Coast of Ireland for the past week. Stopped here for bite to eat cos had excellent reviews and also cos its dog friendly cos love to see more of this down south and the staff were so attentive to their customers and their canine friends. We had chicken goujons and salt and chilli chips and food was so tasty. Would highly recommend coming here.

Lovely dog friendly cafe. Toasties are superb as is the soup. So refreshing to find such a dog friendly place with such great food and warm and friendly staff. Can’t recommend highly enough. Cakes looked great too.

Great dog friendly café. The food was excellent, especially the Paninis and staff were warm and friendly. Highly recommended to stop and enjoy the fare from this lovely place. Shines above all others in Portrush!

Honestly cannot fault this lovely café. We called for breakfast and received a lovely welcome. The eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection. Menu choices are extensive and cater for all tastes. Value for money is excellent too. The place is spotlessly clean as well. Highly recommended!

The coffee was rich and flavorful, the scones were fresh and delicious, and the whole place had such a welcoming vibe. It’s very open and comfortable. It's a perfect spot to bring dogs.

A great addition to Portrush… the staff are really nice, food great, options for meat,vegi & vegan. Allows dogs & location is fantastic Will be coming again

Lovely place to pop into while at the coast. There are tanks, lots of information on life in the sea and sky on the north coast with fish skeletons to observe. It's free entry for everyone it's a must call in if nearby.

Plenty paid parking with free parking bot far away. Food van smell fantastic

Really welcoming knowledgeable staff cute place for kids

Educational , great experience for all especially for children all ages (a learning curve to all who visit (Portrush Coastal Zone ) All exhibits well displayed awareness of all sea inhabitants . The guide was extremely knowledgeable when children were asking questions about the various species about the environment in which they were maintained. No entry fee which surprised us or donation box inside to those who may wish to offer a donation to the Coastal Zone in providing so much info in this awesome coastal area 🐟

Brilliant for kids of all ages!! Visited the Costal Zone on an afternoon during the week in July and wasn't too busy

The coastal scenery is magnificent, with its mixture of long sandy beaches and limestone cliffs with caves & arches....great for walks & exploring. The town itself is a busy popular venue with plenty of good eateries with welcoming helpful staff when you wish to rest from your exertions and relax with a refreshing drink & tasty meal. On this visit we found the Ramore to be a very popular spot with delicious food.

Beautiful cliffs, watching the sunset over the ocean in the evening is just breathtaking! Great photo opportunity!

Afternoon Tea in the Trocadero Restaurant was really something special. The setting is beautiful with the perfect ambience, ideal for an indulgent treat. Such a warm welcome from Manager, Selina, who with her team, looked after us so well. Definitely Afternoon Tea at its best with a unique and scrumptious savoury selection and a delightful array of sandwiches, scones and pastries. The quality and service far exceeded expectations and is well deserving of this 5 star rating. Thank you so much for the memorable experience.

Loved this store. It was like stepping back in time. Lots of lovely things and reasonable prices. Staff good fun too!

So we went here today for something to eat...on first impressions it looked nice.. staff were friendly enough, and the service was decent. I ordered fish and chips, and as u can see, it looked nice . This was not the case, as when I cut into it, it was tough to cut through. The fish was way overcooked, as I found out by looking underneath as is evident by the batter I pulled off and put in the bowl. Value for money??? In my case, NO!!!! first and last time, I will be in that establishment... everyone has their own experience, but mine was not good.....

Loved it in here. They have a good sale on on some items too staff were nice and friendly

The White House is a Portrush institution. Great one stop shop for all the family. Great menswear department, excellent women's and children's departments too. Housewares, toy section and a very nice cafe also on the premises. Parking is not the most convenient, but as there are several large car parks not too far away it's not such an inconvenience. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Nice meal for two plus Bailey's cheesecake for another.Sausage roll slightly overcooked but all in all nice food in nice restaurant with friendly service.

Great historic shop, perhaps geared up to a certain demographic, but the restaurant/cafe is just fabulous.

I was so surprised to see how nice the beach was. Very calm & BLUE water. Beautiful spot. I was lucky enough to have the best day of the year yet with sun and about 17• celsius. I would totally enjoy the beach if I ever come back.

Fantastic Beach with all amenities. Go to place for friends and family vacation. Shoppings and Fun games are available. Hotels are expensive better to take Caravan. I took a 14 km stroll on the beach without fatigue. This place is amazing, most clean beach I have ever visited. Must go to a place for everyone. Also, fun games and rides are available Cons - Constant changing Irish weather can impact the experience.

Stunning Beach with Golden Sands With a promenade walk all round Very Clean

I love the beach because it has less wave and it is possible to swim and enjoy water. Also it is next to town. Highly recommended 🙏👍

One of the best beach to spend a day with your family and friends

Lovely beach to go for a short walk or just chill and enjoy the sun. It's always tidy and well kept.

Beautiful well kept and well maintained beach, right beside the centre of Portrush next to all the local amenities

Lovely spot. Good solid cafe food. Staff very friendly. Place is very clean too. Ham and cheese toastie hot the spot rightly.

not real food: Microwaved pancakes, egg substitute for the scrambled eggs, "maple syrup" was golden corn syrup... all gross. The loud diner acoustics didn't help. There is no service, you order at the counter never to be attended to again.

Stopped here for a late breakfast early lunch on a very windy cold day. The service was excellent staff were friendly and the food was really good.

Had a great wee breakfast here to sort me out after a good night out. Definitely recommend

Very fast service and delicious food. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Took about 5 minutes. Would eat here again.

Had the brunch which I thought was great.. and comes with a very generous pot of tea (or you can get coffee) based on my experience I will be back.

Looked appealing from the outside ordered 2 Arrosto breakfasts and was not disappointed would definitely eat here again fast service friendly staff *coffee was nice too AAA++++

Great spot for some food and drinks. The place is a lot larger than you think. Food portions were perfect. We definitely enjoyed this spot.

Pizza, burgers, dirty fries and hot wings.....spot on! Pizza was very good with a lovely thin base and hot wings were exactly what you would expect. I will definitely go again. I would try to find somewhere more quiet to sit next time, that's not a criticism, it's just what I prefer.

A good spot in the port. Upstairs hosts great comedy nights, if you can get tickets. Nice friendly bar. Shame the guiness isn't better but you can't have everything. Now they have pool tables and darts so caters to more people.

A solid 5 star! Their pizza was the best I’ve ever had, the flavor and the amount of cheese was spot on! The only thing I didn’t like was the drink, pretty expensive for a tiny glass of coke.

Hidden wee gem of a place the drink is very cheap and the food is delicious

With the bold claim of having the best bar food in portrush, we were feeling optimistic. However, the food was rubbish. The chicken goujons were dripping in oil, the salt and chilli chips had enough salt to cause a heart attack (see picture) and the “salad” as stated on the menu consisted of a singular piece of limp lettuce. Do not waste your time.

Was hungry and it was 8pm on an April evening and I was recommended this place and I was not disappointed. Staff really was excellent, friendly and chatty and the food was excellent. Great atmosphere in the bar too

We came here as the sun was out and it said beer garden on the side. We were a bit disappointed as no beer garden as such rather a shed for the smokers! Didn't stop us bringing a few chairs outside and creating our own beer garden! Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Tvs and gambling machines available. Worth a pint or two.

Called in for few pints.Pint harp was good but barman had an attitude. Couldn't even say thanks just how much and set change down. Left after 1 drink

Nice, authentic bar, good prices

A true experience of an Irish bar. Very authentic! If you like music and crowds, give it a try..it is fun !

Beautiful old traditional Irish Pub. The Guinness was amazing, perfect pour, perfect dome, creamy and thick with a perfect taste. I am a Guinness Snob, and although I was only in Northern Ireland for 5 days, and was only able to try the Guinness in the local areas of Bushmills, Portrush, and Belfast. This was the best pint of Guinness and Pub I had been into. I wish I could have gotten the Barmaid's name to mention her here, but which ever-lovely lady was working Monday 4th September 2023 at about 3:30 pm, you were an artist with the Guinness. Highly Recommend this Pub to any Guinness drinker or anyone who wants a nice place to catch a pint in a beautiful traditional pub.

Great local music scene from 9pm on a Thursday evenong with some reallu talented people turning to play. Fabulous atmosphere

Discgraceful takeover from the Ramore owners. Have been coming here for 10+ years for the Irish trad sessions. We had to leave last night though because the bar staff were explicitly told they weren’t allowed to turn the golf volume down during an Irish trad night, when not a single person in the bar was watching the golf. They lost out on several thousand pounds as we took everyone with us

This is meant to be a 5 star hotel. It does not meet the criteria at all. They are selling rooms based on the 5 star rating and charging high prices. The criteria are not met. It is more of a 3 star hotel. Nice staff but thats not enough. The restaurants food was poor and certainly not worth what it cost. The rooms dust in the bathroom and the shelves where the tea making implements were. Dont book here thinking it is 5 star. It most definitely isnt

I had done tons of research on where to go and where to eat in Portrush and Adelphi continuously came up. When we actually went not only was it stunning but the entire staff was so nice and welcoming. My mother and I ordered espresso martinis and they may have been the best we’ve ever had! Overall the atmosphere, staff and drinks were fabulous and above and beyond. I asked if they had any souvenirs and our waitress came back with a cute tote bag filled with goodies! Truly a great experience and would love to visit again!

As a Portrush resident, this was my first time in the new Adelphi. It has been beautifully restored and is an asset to Portrush. A lovely environment to sit for a quiet coffee. Our meal in the restaurant was variable. The crab linguine was delicious, with lots of fresh crab. Something went wrong with the mussels which seemed microwaved, no other way to describe them, really! Our waiter was called Jamie, he was lovely and had obviously had proper training in hospitality. So nice, it made the meal very pleasant and enjoyable. I would definitely return and recommend- but not the mussels! .

Thought we would try following the recent refurbishment. Went for a family dinner and were very disappointed. Food is overpriced and very bland. Hotel decor is beautiful. Staff were friendly but inexperienced. Won’t be back.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel unfortunately. The interiors are beautiful and it’s had a great refurbishment + location is excellent, but the rooms were also warm & stuffy since they have no A/C. The service from front of house was lacking. We were refused breakfast 10 minutes late, with front of house staff unwilling to show any flexibility. Communication upon our arrival was poor as well. Not good enough for a supposed 5 star hotel. In general staff tried their best and were all very pleasant, but despite it being relatively quiet, staff seemed stressed & confused at times, with there clearly being a lack of leadership or staff training. To be fair - the food & service in the red sail restaurant was absolutely terrific on the Saturday evening. That aspect was certainly 5 stars. It's a decent hotel but needs a lot of improvements to attain a proper 5 star level of experience.

Not enough great adjectives for this experience! From booking to check-in - Michelle was absolutely amazing, although our trip was busy and chaotic the staff were amazing! Took away our stress and let us enjoy the sheer beauty of the hotel and surroundings! Cannot wait to get back again, Portrush needed a proper hotel and boy did Adelphi lived up to it! PS - Stephen (trainee barman 😉) pulled out some of the nicest cocktails I’ve ever tasted! Amazing and such a sound bloke! Thanks for your service and will definitely be back in the near future. Thank you Aaron

Service was outstanding,food was delicious. Little Bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Declan and staff were very attentive
