Great location, very close to the Giants Causeway. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was buffet with a lovely selection, I asked for porridge and it was no problem. Cooked breakfast was optional at an extra price.
The room was clean, beds comfy with a great view of the sea.
Would recommend.

Great location and views and convenient to the Giant’s Causeway and coast. Bedroom was comfortable - communal areas felt a bit tired and in need of updating.
Close to Bushmills and even closer to Giants Causway. Hot tubs look out west over the sea with a beautiful sunset view. Breakfast was terrific. If I find myself in that area again, I’d definitely go back.
What a treat it was to stay at Carnside Guest House. We had only one night there, but would gladly go back to stay again. The room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was plentiful and delicious (especially the home-made bread!), and the antique decor is absolutely charming. Danielle is a delightful and accommodating innkeeper, and made great recommendations for us for dining and sightseeing, especially as the Giant’s Causeway is easy walking distance from the guesthouse. Be sure to check out the Fun Farm, and treat yourself to the hot tubs!
Nice place. Great value for money. Room was quite hot but such strong wind couldn't keep window open. Close to Bushmills for dinner. Can get to Giants Causeway early/late to have a peaceful hike before/afterthe masses
The staff were helpful however I didn't feel they were particularly friendly.
The location was lovely with wonderful views of the countryside and a short drive to giants Causeway.
The breakfast was plentiful with a good variety.
A fabulous place to stay beautiful views and really handy for a visit to The Giants Causeway. Very welcoming and friendly family, with a superb choice for the buffet breakfast that is included and also an option to preorder a great value cooked breakfast as an extra. Comfy beds, good shower, couldn't want for more. Will definitely be back to give the cocktail and hottub with a view experience a go. Well recommended
Lovely staff, great location for walking to Giants Causeway, delicious breakfast. One of us liked the bed and the other one didn’t find it as comfortable.
Lovely little place to stay. VERY close to the giants causeway, and great value for money in this very popular area. Good parking and lovely ladies at the reception desk
