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.

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.

Close to Bushmills from where you can walk or catch the tramway (in summer) to the Giant's Causeway centre. Ideal centre for exploring the north coast.

Gail was amazing! She was very accommodating and had excellent suggestions for dining. In addition, to my surprise, she offered avocado toast for breakfast—it was my first sighting of avocado since leaving California almost two weeks—_ big plus in my book!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Rest a while. Gail was an excellent host & catered to our every need. Such a lovely person. Room was v clean & modern, great to have your own key from outside building, we didn’t feel we were intruding. Breakfast was lovely with a great range of cooked breakfasts. Check in & out brilliant. We will be back. Thanks Gail.

I loved my stay at the Rest-A-While. The owners are really wonderful and helpful. Excellent breakfast, and nice rooms and facilities. I appreciated the free bike, which I used to visit the Causeway and several stops along the Ulster Way trail. An unbelievably beautiful area.

Perfect location and wonderful host
We had a fantastic stay here to see the Giant’s Causeway. Gail provided all sorts of tips for visiting that site and several others in the area that we weren’t even aware of. Location is central to many tourist destinations along this part of the coast. Very clean and comfortable room. Would definitely stay here again.

The room was clean and comfortable. Towels where changed everyday and extra tea or water available on request. The only suggestion I can make for improvement is possible a small fridge in the room. Breakfast was very good and more than enough. I would be happy to recommend to family and friends.

Amazing BnB right in the country side next to Bushmills. 5 minute drive from all the must see places including Giants Causeway. Gail is a fantastic hostess. Giving all the tips and tricks for when and where to go. There is a book supplied in each room filled with recommendations and maps on how to get to every must see spot. Breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be coming back to Rest A While BnB on my next trip to North Ireland!
