Loved the location. The room was clean and very modern (I really loved the design of the room, one of the nicest I've ever stayed in). Bed was big and very comfortable, bathroom was clean. Grabbed a meal in the bar and it was tasty. Car park at the rear was full (and being power washed) but there was plenty of spaces on the street out front.

This is a once off complaint - but the night I was staying there were two lads power washing the car park at the rear of the property. They continued this until 1am! As we were in the middle of a heat wave, I had to keep the window open. I tried to get an early night and hit the hay at 10pm, but the sound of them power washing woke me up a few times. Very bizarre that this was allowed. They finally stopped around 1am. Slept grand afterwards. My only other complaint is that the room doors could really do with a soft close, as there was a lot of banging doors in the corridor.

The room was very new, modern and clean. There was a comfortable double bed, a table with a chair and a toilet. There were also blankets and towels and everything worked properly. There was a parking behind the building. Also, there was no noise, it was a calm place and you could see the sea from the window of the room. There is a restaurant in which you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with an extra cost. Apart from that, there is a room decorated with Game of Thrones elements which is quite nice for fans of the series to take pictures in it.

When we did the check-in we had to search a waiter from the restaurant and they spent almost no time with us, seeming to be in a rush. They asked us to book breakfast without telling us that it was not included.

A lovely country pub in an equally lovely area not too far from the Ballintoy Harbour and close to both Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. The room and bathroom were very clean, the bed and pillows were comfortable and the breakfast was great and for £10 extra very good value. It was quiet and parking was available both behind the pub and street parking in front.

My room and bathroom were very small but as a solo traveller I guess the size was adequate. It was spotlessly clean which was more important to me than size.

The room was good and well decorated v different The staff were all friendly and the bar area had a good atmosphere.The food was good and varied .The hotel was in a great position within easy reach of the main tourist attractions, and the countryside was terrific

Only slight problem for us was the portions of food were too large and where possible we had a smaller amount . As said the room was good would have liked a bedside table and a hook ?

We loved Ballintoy with its spectacular sea views down at the harbour and had a comfortable stay at the Fullerton Arms. It was the ideal location for an early morning visit to the wonderful Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge whose car park was only a few minutes from the inn. Dinner at the Fullerton Arms and breakfast were both good.

Our room, which was in an annexe was very dark although as we were only sleeping one night there, this was perhaps not so important.

Great location near giants causeway, dark hedges and other sites. The lodgings are in a separate building behind the pub. The double bunks in the family room were perfect for giving our kids their own space! Surprisingly quiet room—couldn’t hear any noise from the pub/restaurant even though it was a busy night. We enjoyed the made to order breakfast options. Good dinner in the restaurant, too.

Parking is sparse on a busy night. Check in was at the back of the pub, so you may want to leave your baggage in the car until you have the room key.

The location is perfect for exploring this part of the country. From Carrick-a - rede bridge, to Ballintoy Harbour, Giants Causeway, A few miles by car to the Dark Hedges and Dunluce Castle. The bar is small but cosy, there is a GOT theme and they have a dedicated section of the bar with Iron Throne replica and Dragon Door. The food is exceptional as are the staff. We've already booked it again for two nights in February 🤗 Orianne is a real busy bee and can't do enough for you. We can't remember the other girls name that was working that night but she was delightful, as was Pamela who served us for breakfast. Love this place can't wait to return 🥰

It can be a little noisy in the rooms above the bar but I suppose it depends on how busy it is....

An old building that opens into a luxurious welcoming accommodation, both in the room and restaurant and along the hallways in between. Staff were very genuine and made one feel so at home and relaxed. We had visited the restaurant in the past so were aware that the food was good—no, excellent—especially the mussel dishes with speciality sauces. Staying over just made the whole experience even more pleasurable. The room was spacious, very clean, everything felt new. And, one of the real tests: there were yummy biscuits with the coffee/tea making set! Breakfast was perfect, just the way you want it, with cereal/fruit/yoghurt etc. to help yourself to and cooked breakfast whatever way you wanted it to follow.

To be honest, I'd be hard pushed to think of anything that I didn't like. Maybe the wash hand basin plug that didn't work so well and meant water was wasted when wet shaving—but possibly a reflection on poor tradesmen contractors than the hotel.

The rooms were tastefully decorated and pleasant. The food in the restaurant was delicious and there is plenty of secure parking at the back of the property.

I had a single room and the bathroom was tiny and not very comfortable for use, you could barely turn around. You had to squeeze in between the sink and the wall to get to the shower, anyone carrying a bit of weight would not fit in there.

We had a really spacious en suite room in the annex out the back, which was really comfortable. The room and bathroom was clean and the beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly.

It was a bit unfortunate that some drunk visitors were hammering on the doors in the early hours that woke us up until they had found their rooms! There also wasn't a lot of car parking space in the car park...although there was street parking available.
