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.

What a terrific surprise! Extremely comfortable stay and enjoyed being in the middle of a working farm overlooking the Giants Causeway . They even have a kids farm area. Breakfast was very good and we went over the Causeway hotel for a drink a great walk along the cliffs.
