“The team works incredibly hard to deliver a unique and unforgettable experience to all our guests, as well as promoting the Causeway Coast and Glens as an exciting and vibrant destination.”

Originally a Coaching Inn, dating back to the 1600s, the historic site was meticulously restored in 1987 into a 10-bedroom hotel and restaurant. Two multi-million pound expansions have transformed the old coach house, stables and mill house into an AA 4 Star Silver hotel with 41 luxurious bedrooms and suites, an AA Rosette restaurant, an exclusive cinema, state of the art conference facilities, courtyard patio and helipad.

Alan added: “Our rich history and commitment to customer service makes us one of Northern Ireland’s most attractive and well known places to stay. We will continue to invest in the hotel and our staff to ensure we exceed guest expectations so they go away and tell others that The Bushmills Inn epitomises the true spirit of local hospitality.”
