Harbour Heights Guest House, Portrush, Co Antrim

This place is by far the best that we have stayed at in Ireland.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and heartily recommend the Adelphi. The restaurant was absolutely brilliant, my salmon was done to perfection!

The spa with its sauna turned out to be a real bonus as we had a soaking earlier in the day at the Giant's Causeway. When in Ireland expect rain at some point in the day.

A hidden gem, although certainly starting to get recognised by what we've read.

This was the first place that me and my girlfriend stayed at and what a place, the standard of service from the moment we got there was great and our room was fantastic,the first time I have had a DVD player in a room - was a bonus. Not that we watched it as the north coast has so much to offer. The room we stayed in was very clean and tidy with a decent bed that you could sleep on. The breakfast was delicious in the breakfast room which has lovely views over the harbour in Port Rush. Harbour Heights is without doubt one of the best places me and my girlfriend have stayed in and we both hope to go their again.

Harbour Heights Guesthouse overlooks the harbour in Portrush - if you get a room at the front of the house, the views over the sea are stunning. It is immaculately clean and the owner is very friendly and welcoming.

We had a double room for 2 nights - bed and breakfast and the total cost was £130 - very reasonable. The rooms are comfortable and have lots of homely touches - iron and ironing board, hairdryer, DVD player, selection of books as well as tea and coffee making facilities.

The en-suite shower room was small but had a powerful shower and a nice selection of toiletries and fluffy white towels.

A full Irish breakfast (delicious) was served each morning with a selection of cereals and fruit.

The guest house is only a couple of minutes walk from the centre of the town - there are a few shops, a couple of nice restaurants and miles of beautiful, golden sandy beaches.

We had a meal at D'Arcys restaurant on the main street which was very good. We also ate at the Harbour Bar Bistro - highly recommended - outstanding food and very reasonably priced. The only negative is that they do not take reservations so sometimes you may have a long wait before you get a table. We were advised to arrive at 6.00pm - we waited 1.5 hours but when we left at 8.30 /9.00pm there was no waiting and customers were being shown straight to their tables.

There are lots of pleasant day trips out of Portrush - we enjoyed the Giants Causeway and also spent a pleasant morning in Ballycastle.

All in all a really enjoyable break.
