🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Arrived and was made most welcome by the friendly receptionist. Room was spacious and spotless. Beds are super comfy. Loved the extra accessories in the room, tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits 🍪 We had dinner which was delicious and breakfast on both mornings was varied and delicious. A good breakfast to set you up for the day. The owners Julie & Amy made us feel most welcome and shared stories about their hotel and some historical events. They made time to chat to all the guests. It truly is a “home from home” and will definitely return. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nothing at all to dislike!

We liked everything about this hotel the location the room and the staff were excellent. I booked an overnight stay for my husbands birthday. When we got to our room they had a happy birthday poster on table for him abf tve room was very spacious clean really beautiful. Later on that night after our dinner they played happy Birthday to him and a staff member brought out a chocolate brownie with a candle in it and happy birthday wrote on the plate with chocolate sauce. The next morning they gv him a larger serving of fry bc it was his birthday nd then gv him a pressie of chocolates , sweets nd bottle of aftershave nd didn't leave me out either they gv me a boxed chocolate tulip and a hedges pen attached to it. The staff in this hotel are so friendly, would do anything for you they have definitely gone above and beyond . I would definitely recommend this hotel, and we will certainly be back again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Fabulous friendly staff, beautiful setting, convenient to coast, clean, spacious, free parking, Not all hotels have baths anymore, this one does so I took a long relaxing bubble bath. Lovely.. Beautiful walks around the countryside area, delighted to get The Dark Hedges ticked off my bucket list, didn’t disappoint!, fantastic to see. And the door made out of one of the trees that fell in the storm, The craftsmanship.

We went out of season,so was a little quiet in hotel , restaurant was a little cold, probably because of the huge windows, but the food was piping hot. Delicious

Recent one night stay, the Hedges Hotel is very nice, clean, comfortable rooms, staff are very helpfull, friendly, breakfast was good. Great location for walking to the dark hedges. There was a wedding in the hotel on the night of our stay, the venues windows were all open therefore the music was quite loud until late, bedroom doors need good pressure to close, doors were constantly banging late at night and early morning.

Noisy bedroom doors. The main reception door was locked, had to use a second entrance door, wedding guests used this area for smoking, therefore anytime we went out day or night we had to pass a lot of smoking guests. Not pleasant.

We received a great reception from Paul, who was very helpful throughout our 3 night stay. It was a quiet time for them, outside of school holidays, but our every need was catered for. We had evening meals on 2 nights, which were generous portions and enjoyable. The 3 breakfasts, served by Robert, were amazing also with generous portions, and just as we had requested. The location, with good free parking, allows easy access by car to the many famous local attractions and the setting has good rural views. All staff were friendly and helpful.

2nd time i've stayed in the hedges hotel and no issues during my stay, used as a base for sight-seeing around the bushmills area and also a car event in portrush so it's location suited us. Good selection at breakfast and nice, tasty and hot. good size room and clean and provided a comfortable night sleep. the staff i had contact with were very pleasant and friendly.

If I was to be picky the staffing level was limited and as the reception area seemed to be closed at most times i had to go find someone to check out and wait for a few moments to check in.

It is set in the countryside so peaceful and quiet. As soon as we arrived we felt very welcome by the wonderful staff members. Everywhere was so clean and with it being a 3 star i wasn’t expecting much in the way of room size and amenities but it surprised us with a fabulous room and big bathroom. It was perfect for a family of 4. The breakfast was lovely too normally buffet breakfast aren’t very hot but this one was we all enjoyed the large selection of hot food and left feeling full to start our day of exploring

Nothing to complain about we liked the hotel

Super hotel in a fantastic location right beside The Dark Hedges (King's Road in Game of Thrones) just outside the village of Armoy. Beautiful spacious bedroom with lovely ensuite bathroom, towels and toiletries included. Included breakfast was perfect with fabulous selection of hot and cold food. Restaurant was fantastic in price and quality too. All staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.
