If you want to visit the Giants Causeway we think that this is by far the best place to stay in the area and worth spending two nights to do the Causeway and coastline justice. The dinner menu is just great - we recommend both the hake and the half duck. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms and... More

This is a brilliant base from which to explore the area - the hotel is spotless and the food is traditional and plentiful. Great cooked breakfast - not greasy - just right! The music in the Bar on Saturday night was really lovely - two guitars and great voices - this was a real treat. We had a fabulous time... More

My sister and I hired a car in Belfast and during a conversation with someone at the car hire office, the Smugglers Retreat was recommended to us. I'm so glad we took her advice. We had great banter with the staff and experienced more of the warm Irish welcome. The food was brilliant, the staff were brilliant and the outlook... More

We had 3 couples that stayed here for 1 night while visiting the north coast... The hotel room was very nice - but the highlight without a doubt was the dinner! This was THE BEST MEAL IN IRELAND! We couldn't have been more pleased with the food and were so stuffed we couldn't even consider dessert - which was so... More

My friend and I were doing a roadtrip through Ireland and happen to come across this place. It was a great place to stop. The food was amazing! We were thinking, ok this is going to be regular pub food, but it was very very good and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. No wifi in... More

We visited the Smugglers Inn on Easter Tuesday. The place was busy as we would have expected, but we did get a table, by the window, with some of the chairs having a view of the sea, which was very nice. We did not have starters, and only ordered mains, we had no room left for dessert after we finished... More

I chose The Smuggler's Inn for my recent stay on the north coast so that I could bring my dog with me and I have to say that I was very impressed. Although I had booked as a single person I was given a large room with both a double and a single bed in it, a table and chair... More

We stayed at the Smugglers Inn for two nights to say we were impressed by the inn is an understatement. The rooms were positively outstanding; large, clean, comfortable, and have fantastic views. The food was delicious, the portions more than generous. And the staff? Well, Lee and the rest of the staff treated us like well loved friends or even... More

We stayed with a group of friends for a weekend's sport and jolity in Bushmills and had a super time at the Smugglers. This is an ideal spot for a visit to the Giant's Causeway (which is within walking distance) or as a touring base for the north coast. The Smugglers has lots of spacious, simply-decorated but spotless rooms with... More
