Description   Rick's Causeway Coastal Hostel

This is a small cosy hostel in the pleasant sea-side town of Portstewart, and since the hostel is only 50 metres from the ocean many of the rooms have a sea view.
there is a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, relaxed dining area and an extremely comfortable common room featuring an open fire and lots of books plus a TV, Video and DVD player.
The hostel is centrally heated throughout and has a variety of rooms, some 6 or 8 bed dorms, some family rooms and some double or twin rooms. A number of these are en-suite and for the other rooms there are showers with hot water available all day.

The hostel has good bus connections with Belfast, Derry and all the sights of the Causeway Coast, so it is an excellant base for exploring The Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, The Old Bushmills Whisky Distillery, Carrick-a-rede rope bridge and The Mussenden Temple. For those with cars there is free on street parking immediatly in front of the hostel.

Portstewart itself has a pleasant sea front witrh a variety of restraunts and cafes or fast food outlets and some great pubs, including 'The Anchor', voted the best pub in Co Londonderry 2007. There is a beatifull 3.5 kilometre sandy beach, owned by the National Trust, boat hire and fishing trips from the harbour, golf courses and nearby horseriding facilities. For the surfers there are a couple of surf shops to meet their needs and to provide local advice about surf conditions.

Directions

The nearest railway station is in Coleraine, about 4 or 5 kilometres from Portstewart and a regular local bus will take you to the hostel. You should ask the driver to let you off at the Atlantic Circle bus stop which is just 100metres from the hostel.

For drivers the hostel is very close to the town centre (the promenade)and just to the East side of it. If approaching from the Portrush direction on the A2 Coast road you take the first turn to your right as you come into the town. This road is signposted ' to Portstewart Point and The Herring Pond'. The hostel is then about a further 100 metres on your left. Coming from the West end of town just drive to the end of the promenade. At the harbour keep on the main road (whiich turns to the right and goes up a hill) for about 100 metres and then turn left again at the road signposted for Portstewart point and the herring pond.
