Stayed three nights at the Avarest while sightseeing in Northern Ireland. The décor is like going back 40 years with a lot of heavy dark panelling in the reception/hallway. Lot of unusual artefacts and old pictures. My room was excellent modern and very clean double bed (I had booked a single room). Breakfast was excellent but be warned the Big... More

We stayed for two nights while visiting the local sights including the Giant's Causeway. The welcome was efficient and friendly but our room was very small on the first floor with a tiny bathroom. The building is one of the older style large B&B houses you find in Britain and Ireland and feels a little older compared to some. Breakfast... More

We stayed here for one night & booked a suite for £10 more online at last minute well worth it for the views over the bay and the room size. The B&B is very welcoming, deceptive from the outside & event the hallway the bedrooms have been renovated and decorated and modern. Suite had 2 sofas, chairs, flat screen tv,... More

I know this is a great B&B so no amount of negative reviews would put me off - we definitely would not stay anywhere else. I work in the hospitality industry... More

I stayed here last October with some friends. We were left outside in the cold for quite some time on arrival, which wasn't a great start! The rooms were lovely and the views were great but the sound proofing was nonexistent and the noises of a dog barking in the morning was quite annoying! When checking out, we were told... More

We stayed here April 2012 and had a really nice experience. Staff were helpful and friendly, even though we arrived very late (11pm). The room was clean and spacious and the vegetarian options for breakfast fantastic. I would definately stay again.

On arrival at this hotel the door was locked and we were left waiting outside knocking a few minutes for the door to be opened. However, this minor difficulty was overlooked on seeing the spacious room and beautiful view. The good feeling was completely eradicated when we were woken up by the loud music coming from downstairs at 7 o... More
