Great host and breakfast

Gail was a great host. Loved being able to choose breakfast and it being fresh and made to order. Huge portions! Everything was clean , fresh towels daily and toiletries in the bathrooms. Parking easy and directly outside. Good location although we did not walk into town as there were not pavements / sidewalk. Easy driving to all the major sites. The only downside was the heat no fans so had to open the windows and our room had a major road running by it so road noise was considerable even with see plugs when big vans went past it woke you up. If it had been a different room away from the road it would have been a different experienced ad everything else was great.

The owners were nothing but kind and welcoming to us. I’ve never had such personal care and attention even in luxury hotels. They were kind enough to lend us bikes as we had no car to make it to town. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Rest-a-While is a beautiful property in the Causeway countryside that invites you to relax and slow down a bit. Gail is a lovely hostess, juggling all the plates it takes to provide a custom-cooked breakfast and the comforts of home at the beautifully appointed B&B. Aside from this dream destination, Rest-a-While creates a holiday that stands out for lack of stress and plenty of adventure.

Bushmills Gem

We adventured a great distance and experienced Ireland in so many wonderful ways. We found this place last minute as we were passing thru Bushmills and were pleasantly surprised. This was one our of favorite places to stay. The room was great and Gale was so accommodating to our GF breakfast option.
