We began our B&B journey in 2015 after our kids had flown the nest, opening our home as The Rocks Bed and Breakfast and we haven’t looked back. Having travelled all over the world, we appreciate what is important for guests and have created comfortable rooms, with little extras that make all the difference. We believe a super comfy bed, a delicious breakfast and helpful, friendly hosts is what ‘makes’ a wonderful B&B. We look forward to welcoming you to The Rocks...your home from hom

Nearby attractions

Game of Thrones: Northern Ireland is heaven for Game of Thrones® fans with real-life Westeros locations dotted everywhere. But, serious fan or not, the locations are worth visiting in their own right. In County Down, you have Castle Ward Estate (Winterfell) and Tollymore Forest Park (the Haunted Forest). County Antrim has Cushendun Caves which appear as a Stormlands cove and, of course, the world famous Dark Hedges double as the Kingsroad. In County Londonderry, Downhill Beach and Mussenden Temple feature as Dragonstone locations, while in County Fermanagh, Pollnagollum Cave became the fictional Hollow Hill secret hideout. There are also lots of immersive experiences and tours to choose from, so fans can get even more of their filmic fix.
Mourne Mountains: No matter how long your visit, there’s so much to see and do in the Mourne area. Discover the land where the Mourne Mountains slope down to the sea. There is something for everyone at Visit Mourne. With three areas of outstanding natural beauty, winding trails for walking and hiking, and a variety of waterways, pack some warm clothes and get ready for an adventure.
Seek Out The Stars: The Sky observatory at Davagh Forest, near Cookstown in County Tyrone. Davagh has one of the ‘darkest skies’ in Ireland, which means there is so little light pollution that there are crystal clear views of star constellations.
The Causeway Costal Route: The rugged, raw elemental beauty of the Causeway Coastal Route truly captures the thrill of an adventure in Northern Ireland. Maybe it’s the sheer breadth and beauty of its landscape. Perhaps it’s the mythical stories, shaped and inspired by the dramatic coastline. There’s quite a lot to see along the Causeway Coastal Route – voted the Number 1 Region in the World to visit by Lonely Planet in 2018 From Belfast head north, making your first stop at Carrickfergus Castle, one of the best preserved mediaeval structures in Ireland. Continue your journey to the breathtaking cliff-face pathway, The Gobbins (booking ahead is advisable). A spectacular walk that includes suspension bridges, caves, steps and tunnels. Your next stop is at Carnfunnock Country Park, an excellent spot with loads to do, including a chance to solve the mysterious hedge maze. Cushendun via The Glens of Antrim Once you’ve left Carnfunnock, a pit-stop in the picturesque village of Ballygally is a must. From here, journey inland to the storied Slemish mountain. This extinct volcano is where, according to legend, Saint Patrick tended sheep after being captured and taken to Ireland. Heading towards the coast again, you’ll find Glenarm Castle. Explore the glorious walled garden, Woodland walk, Heritage Centre and Coach House Museum. The spectacular coast road to Cushendall, known as the Capital of the Glens, offers must-see views on route to – the pretty-as-a-picture Cushendun. Look out for the caves behind the village as seen in Game of Thrones®. For Thronies, this leg features another iconic location. First, take a detour to Torr Head, a narrow winding road, with breathtaking sea views but be warned it’s not for the faint hearted! Torr Head is the closest point to Scotland with stunning views of Fair Head and Rathlin Island. While you are there, take a look at the picturesque Bonamargy Friary ruins containing the remains of legendary chieftain Sorley Boy McDonnell. From there, it’s on to the legendary Dark Hedges. Game of Thrones® fans know it as the epic Kingsroad highway in Westeros. This is selfie heaven as well as a piece of natural paradise planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century to impress visitors. For sheer rugged beauty, take the ferry across to Rathlin Island is such a spirit- enhancing experience. Enjoy the tranquillity of our only inhabited island, home to one of the UK’s largest seabird colonies, including hundreds of puffins. During the summer these comical creatures share the cliffs at the island’s west lighthouse with thousands of other seabirds, from kittiwakes to fulmars, but they are undoubtedly the star of the show. On to the pretty village of Ballintoy, you will find Ballintoy Harbour, follow the winding road from the village past the white-washed parish church. Interesting fact: the harbour doubled as exterior Iron Islands shots in Game of Thrones®. Further along the coastal route is the iconic Giant’s Causeway! Managed by the National Trust, this spectacular site can be accessed for free, either via the Public right of way or the coastal path….chat to us for more information|! One of the route’s jewels is – Dunluce Castle. Perched dramatically on cliffs and steeped in history, the iconic ruin of Dunluce Castle bears witness to a long and tumultuous history. First built on the dramatic coastal cliffs of north County Antrim by the MacQuillan family around 1500, the earliest written record of the castle was in 1513 and seized by the ambitious MacDonnell clan in the 1550’s. Dunluce Castlet inspired C.S. Lewis’s Narnia. Dunluce Castle to Derry-Londonderry
Visit Belfast: Explore Belfast’s seafaring history on the waterfront trail connecting key attractions along both sides of the River Lagan. Walk along the Maritime Mile starting on the city side of the river and follow the historic trail from Sailortown and St Joseph’s Church to Clarendon Buildings, passing key sites including the dry and wet docks, the Salmon of Knowledge (or as we call it “the big fish”), the SS Normadic, the Titanic the Great light and Thompson Dock which is the 415ft long dry dock where RMS Titanic was fitted out. Belfast City has so much to offer….beautiful architecture including St. Annes Cathedral, Belfast City Hall and Queen’s University to mention a few. Belfast is home of some of the oldest pubs in Northern Ireland, check out The Duke of York, The Crown Liquor Saloon and Kelly’s Cellars.
