Hotels & Accommodation near Portrush

We found this area (between Portrush and Portstewart) quite limited in dog-friendly stays, so Inn on the Coast was a fantastic surprise. Although a 3-star hotel, it felt like much more—modern, spotless, and very comfortable. Rooms are spacious with crisp white linen, daily cleaning, and fresh towels if needed. There’s a dedicated pet-friendly corridor with direct access from the car park, and each room had clean, nicely presented dog bowls on a wooden stand—a thoughtful touch. On our first night, we heard barking from other rooms in the hallway and feared a noisy sleep, but the room was impressively soundproof! We didn’t leave our dogs alone, but it’s allowed. The restaurant offers a warm, home-cooked style menu, a dog menu (sausages, beef patty, chicken breast), and truly excellent service. Breakfast was also great, with a full Irish fry, cereals, pastries, fresh fruit, and friendly staff once again. Dogs are welcome in designated areas. Despite a 4pm check-in, we arrived early off the ferry, and staff were very accommodating—letting us work in the lobby and preparing our room early. Beautiful coastal walks made our stay even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Booked on a recommendation for a business trip for myself and two colleagues. Potentially we will be back January through to july

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Reception was warm and inviting , reception staff attentive and extremely helpful. Our deluxe room was simply superb! What a treat to have such a huge and comfortable bed with everything you need in the room as you arrive. The lamps were lit and it was warm and inviting as we entered. Whilst we didn’t use the mini bar it was well stocked and topped up each day if needed Luxurious towels and toiletries were refreshed daily ( we stayed for 4 nights) so that we had everything we needed after a day out sight seeing The decor throughout the hotel was simply beautiful which helped to create the atmosphere of stylish quality. There is a subtle golf theme throughout the restaurant and bar which is tasteful and quite clever The housekeeping team need full credit for maintaining an immaculately presented hotel throughout and are a credit to the organisation The hospitality team from the bar to the restaurant are well trained under the clear direction of Declan who takes time to get to know his guests. This personal touch is the thing that sets this hotel apart. Portrush is a quiet harbour town( except for Saturday nights!). There are bars and lovely restaurants to visit but the hotel bar and restaurant also offers a warm and inviting atmosphere which is perfect. Breakfast is served with care and offers a range of options to suit most tastes. With serving times from 7-10am Overall just a wonderful hotel!
