What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the nine acres of ancient woodland surrounding the property have shaped the hotel in ways that go beyond the links: forest-hued rooms, wood-crafted furnishings, and a spa drawing on locally gathered ingredients
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dunluce Castle's cliffside ruins stand minutes away, and the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway line the coast just beyond.

The rooms
Suites come in earthy tones with custom checked wool, looking out toward the fourth fairway or surrounding woodland.
The spa
Four treatment rooms host therapies with Irish Seabody seaweed and CBD. Daybeds in the relaxation lounge look toward the dunes.
The steam rooms
Botanical steam rooms built by Blackchurch Leisure are set in the changing suites, clouded in warm herbal mist.
The Bar at Dunluce Lodge
Locally cut stone tops the counter, where guests gather for classic cocktails and pints beside tufted leather banquettes.
At the table
Restaurant Bailiú serves seasonal Northern Irish seafood across candlelit private alcoves and a dining room with stone fireplaces.
How it began
Two American golf spectators acquired the former private residence after the 2019 Open, developing the nine-acre estate from scratch.
