Inn On The Coast

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Yes, book it if you want a well-rated, low-cost base on the Portrush coast with free parking listed and a bus stop outside. It sits outside the town centre on Ballyreagh Road, so if you want to walk everywhere, our Budget pick on Main Street may suit you better.

We may earn a commission if you book. It never changes our pick.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is our Best Value pick in Portrush. It is a 3-star property with a guest score of 8.9 out of 10 from 1,853 reviews.

Drivers will find it practical, as free parking is listed. Families and pet owners can look too, since family rooms are listed and the property is tagged as pet-friendly. Facilities for disabled guests are also listed.

Skip it if you are sensitive to firm beds. That is the one recurring complaint in reviews.

Location and getting around

The address is Ballyreagh Road. Guests rate the location 9.4 out of 10 and mention a setting near the sea with coastal views and a bus stop right outside.

Dunluce Castle is about 6.5 km away, roughly 81 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi.

Our data does not give a walking time to the town centre. Check a map before booking if you want to walk to shops and restaurants.

Any walking time quoted here is a straight-line estimate and has not been verified.

What guests say

Staff get warm praise. Reviewers call the team friendly, welcoming and helpful, and say requests are accommodated.

The sea-facing setting and the bus stop outside are the other things guests mention.

On the downside, beds split opinion. Many guests find them comfortable, but some say the mattresses are too hard.

Why it made our top 3
