Game of Thrones Tour: Staying at The Bushmills Inn

 Historic Retreat in the Heart of Westeros

The Bushmills Inn, a quietly luxurious boutique hotel, is steeped in Irish history. Originally a Coaching Inn in the 1600s, it has been lovingly restored, paying homage to its rich past. The hotel exudes an old-world charm, with inglenook turf fires and hayloft snugs, providing a perfect retreat for those who crave the unconventional.

The Bushmills Inn: Your Gateway to the Seven Kingdoms

Located in the village of Bushmills, home to the world's oldest Whiskey Distillery, The Bushmills Inn sits between the famous Giant's Causeway and Royal Portrush Golf Club. But what makes it a must-visit for Game of Thrones fans is its proximity to several filming locations from the series.

The Dark Hedges

Just a short drive from the hotel, the Dark Hedges, known to fans as the Kingsroad, is a stunning avenue of beech trees that were planted in the 18th century. This atmospheric location was used in Season 2 when Arya Stark escaped from King's Landing.

Ballintoy

Ballintoy, a small village with a charming harbour, was transformed into the Iron Islands in the series. Here, you can walk the same grounds as Theon Greyjoy and his sister Yara.

Downhill Beach

Downhill Beach, known in the series as Dragonstone, is where the old gods were burned and Melisandre, the Red Priestess, proclaimed: "For the night is dark and full of terrors."
