At Rest a While, guests consistently note spotless, comfortable rooms, generous made-to-order breakfasts, and convenient on-site parking, with the property serving as a handy base for Bushmills, the Giant’s Causeway, and other attractions along Northern Ireland’s North Coast.
Many highlight Gail’s attentive, helpful approach, from local tips to accommodating requests and smooth check-in/out. Rooms are comfortable and sometimes spacious, though a few guests wanted a small fridge or found roadside rooms warm and noisy when windows were opened. The countryside setting is convenient by car but less practical for walking to town due to limited pavements. A comfortable choice for North Coast exploring.

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.

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.

The room was clean and comfortable. Towels where changed everyday and extra tea or water available on request. The only suggestion I can make for improvement is possible a small fridge in the room. Breakfast was very good and more than enough. I would be happy to recommend to family and friends.

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..

The place is clean, comfortable and close to everything. The owner goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and she cooks a great 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.

Gail was amazing! She was very accommodating and had excellent suggestions for dining. In addition, to my surprise, she offered avocado toast for breakfast—it was my first sighting of avocado since leaving California almost two weeks—_ big plus in my book!
