Two weeks ago, we spent five nights at Golflinks Hotel in Portrush. I recommend it highly. It’s a relatively small hotel, but beautifully appointed and it has a full restaurant and bar with excellent food and service. Rooms were clean and fresh, and the location is convenient and scenic.
When we first arrived, Matthew greeted us and was so kind, funny, and helpful, that he quickly made us feel at home. Over the next five days, we continued to be impressed by the staff and facilities. Shannon was knowledgeable about the area, Lorraine was kind enough to drive us to see sheep :), and Stephen provided us with help and transportation a few times as well. The truly impressive part about the hotel is the staff teamwork that was shown. They all pitched in together - no job too big or too small - and it almost felt like we were staying with a big family. Grace, Faith, and Misha all showed us kindnesses, too, and we were grateful to them all.
I don’t know when I’ve come away from a place having gotten to know so many staff members by name or feeling genuinely sorry to be leaving them.
As I write this, I’m at the airport heading back to Florida, and of all the places we’ve been in the past three weeks, it is the folks at Golflinks that are standing out in my mind as those that I am so pleased that we had the opportunity to meet. Thanks so much to you all!
