Portrush Atlantic Hotel

Portrush, Causeway Coast and Glens

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A hotel in the heart of Portrush overlooking the ocean, where the Paws package puts a dog bed and bowls in your room.

The Portrush Atlantic Hotel is in the heart of town, overlooking the ocean, with long stretches of West Strand on the doorstep and coastal paths in every direction. Rooms are furnished in warm wood tones with navy accents and tartan carpet, many of them facing the Atlantic. It all adds up to a dog friendly hotel with a package built around bringing one.

Dogs are welcome in your guestroom, and the hotel has a package, Paws at Portrush Atlantic, with a dog bed and bowls ready in your room on arrival. Assistance and guide dogs are welcome right through the hotel. Dog numbers the hotel does not state, nor which of the rooms are theirs, so put both questions to them when you book.

Another Round is the hotel's restaurant and bar, where scores are settled and pints poured, with snooker, darts, table football and regular live music. Dogs are welcome in the lower level bar area there. The restaurant and the raised bar area are closed to them, so the pair of you head downstairs instead. The menu runs to seafood chowder, beef burgers and crispy chicken sandwiches.

Sea view rooms take in the North Atlantic, and the hotel is minutes from Royal Portrush Golf Club, with Dunluce Castle and the Giant's Causeway close by. The walking is the dog's reward: Wildpack's Port Path: Portstewart to Portrush is 3.4 miles away, and Portstewart Strand, which Wildpack marks as the closest dog friendly sand, is 3.3 miles away.
