We were able to walk into Bushmill and to Giants Causeway. (Not for those who do not walk several miles)

The room was super clean and well appropriated. I have a new favorite breakfast - avocado toast. I would also suggest you try the croissants and cheese one morning. You don't want to miss this breakfast.

We understand they are expanding which means more folks can enjoy this wonderful experience.

There is a parking lot, so you can drive into town (Bushmill) for transportation to Giants Causeway or a Distillery tour, or a dinner at one of the local restaurants. The locals will help you decide which one may fit your taste.

the room and en suite bathroom were lovely and clean.
the breakfasts were well cooked and ingredients were fresh and tasty..
parking was outside the room.
the landlady was very pleasant and accommodating.

the only negative comment would be
the room would benefit from a mini fridge.but we really enjoyed our stay..

Great host and breakfast

Gail was a great host. Loved being able to choose breakfast and it being fresh and made to order. Huge portions! Everything was clean , fresh towels daily and toiletries in the bathrooms. Parking easy and directly outside. Good location although we did not walk into town as there were not pavements / sidewalk. Easy driving to all the major sites. The only downside was the heat no fans so had to open the windows and our room had a major road running by it so road noise was considerable even with see plugs when big vans went past it woke you up. If it had been a different room away from the road it would have been a different experienced ad everything else was great.

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.

Superbly appointed room presented to an excellent level of cleanliness and comfort. Covid 19 precautions are at a standard to give complete assurance of hygienic safety. Gail and Ross are the ideal hosts, good knowledge of local and more widely available sight seeing/places worth visiting. The room guide is very comprehensive, well worth studying as to the best means of accessing tourist areas. Restauration guide is useful too.
