Cairnside is a lovely B&B with a rich family history. We loved the location and enjoyed the walk to the Giant’s Causeway. The breakfasts were hot and filling and there was a lot of variety. We had the triple room with a great view. We would highly recommend this spot.

Great breakfast!

The staff were very kind and they try their best to meet their customers' needs. It might just have been our room, but the water never seemed to get hot and it seemed to come out a bit slowly. The location is wonderful and it is nice and quiet. Breakfast was very good.
