Dunluce Lodge, Northern Ireland: Genuine Irish hospitality

Northern Ireland’s newest five-star hospitality venue, Dunluce Lodge, sits proudly on the edge of Royal Portrush Golf Club’s fourth fairway, the home of the 153^rd Open Championship.

With thirty-five luxury suites across the hotel including its private annex, The Stookan, Dunluce Lodge will provide guests with the opportunity to experience impeccable service and relaxation surrounded by the rugged beauty of the famed Causeway Coast.

The hotel’s dining experience will showcase the best of Northern Ireland’s land and sea larder across its restaurant, bar, atmospheric private dining options and inviting wine vault.

The property will also include a small and intimate spa that is inspired by the surrounding sea and landscapes.

With an onsite putting green, designed by renowned golf architect, Martin Ebert, and complimentary private transfers to the nearby helipad and clubhouses at Royal Portrush and Portstewart Golf Clubs, Dunluce Lodge promises to be a haven for golfers and non-golfers alike.

Seaton House, Scotland:  A New Chapter at St Andrews

Previously known as the Scores Hotel, this venue overlooking the Home of Golf is nestled close to the first tee of the Old Course at St Andrews.

With​​​forty-two luxury bedrooms, six suites and three junior suites, guests will be able to choose a sea or garden view, with five rooms benefiting from their own private terrace.

Guests and locals alike will be treated to the best of the region’s produce with one of Scotland’s best-known chefs, Roy Brett, bringing his award-winning Ondine experience to St Andrews.

Ondine Oyster and Grill will be complemented by The Board Room and Old Tom’s Bar.
