Elephant Rock Bar and Restaurant in Coleraine

I stayed at the Elephant Rock Hotel a few months back. It was pretty obvious as soon as I arrived, there were no Elephants anywhere. I spoke to the lovely Joanne, the manager, and asked: "Do you have a resident Mahout?" She just fell about laughing almost like she thought I was joking. At this point I was thinking there definitely aren’t any elephants and I sat at the bar eating their peanuts. There were also no rocks. I emailed the owner Charlotte Dixon about how an elephant could get into her hotel and what there is to do in Portrush for them, and like Joanne, didn’t seem to know. If you are an elephant, its probably not for you. Oh, and there wasn’t a rock in the hotel either. I loved the place though.

We went to the Elephant Rock Hotel for afternoon tea. We were served the most delicious food in a beautiful setting overlooking the seafront. Service was very polite. We will definitely be back!

Great hotel in a small town. Building is across the coastline, close to the cliff view. Rooms were great and bathroom large and modern. We had dinner and breakfast - service was excellent - very pleasant staff. Loved it.

We booked this hotel after our visit to Giants Causeway. The staff are super helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and well appointed. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and were extremely pleased with all the food we ordered. The wait staff were helpful with our food allergies and were amazing with their customer service.

Have been here lots of times Wont be back again or recommending. Had a very bland lunch, with cold under cooked oven chips. The chef was in restaurant discussing another customer who had a gluten intolerance issue, and spent so much time with that , i think our order was not that important.

Beautiful room with a stunning view, very friendly staff, and they even had a vegan breakfast dish 👍

We stopped in for lunch whilst in Portrush. We were seated in the bar area with an amazing sea view. The staff were friendly and attentive but not overbearing and the food was beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Restaurant food was very good. Far more care and attention than I was expecting, and the service is excellent. Thank you.

Pleasant atmosphere. Professional friendly customer service. Very clean. Ideal for relaxing and enjoying the view.

Beautiful hotel and epic views!!Great welcome from the reception staff and great service in the restaurant especially from Tyler

What a fabulous boutique hotel. Comfortable rooms,lovely bar and restaurant. The food was absolutely gorgeous

Just had 2 wonderful nights at this fabulous hotel. Massive thanks to the team at Elephant Rock.

One of the best hotels I've stayed at bar none. The staff are absolutely fantastic, very friendly on arrival and throughout the stay. Sean's cocktails are perfect and his craic is on the same level. Matthew the night porter was very helpful and friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant and the breakfast in the morning and it was absolutely fantastic. The rooms and decor have no expense spared not to mention the beautiful sea view. The location is perfect. Completely Stunning.

I went her for Mother's day with my partner and daughter and the service, attention to detail and food were all first class. Thoroughly recommend

Had a fantastic stay at Elephant Rocks. Food was absolutely amazing and the staff are the best ever.. Big thank you to Scott who was so helpful.. Will definitely be back to stay again

Cocktails are a rip off, £23 for 2 cocktails and 1 came in a Prosecco glass, very miserable small cocktails and didn’t taste great , place to stay in is lovely, room is big but no outside window so no view staff are friendly but I wouldn’t go back , there are better places to stay for less money , eating and bar area are very small

This is my 3rd stay at this lovely boutique hotel which overlooks the East Strand in Portrush and I can highly recommend it. The decor is amazingly stylish, the staff are friendly and attentive and the breakfast was delicious

I was staying with my boyfriend at Elephant Rock for the weekend. Included in our stay this time was an evening meal. The food was just superb and the friendliness and customer service of the staff is just amazing. I will return for dinner again just fantastic and great to see the restaurant busy and buzzing

We have just come back from a truly wonderful meal at this hotel. We were staying about half a mile away, but we were unable to get a taxi back as none would come into town. This was a problem as my wife was in crutches. Charlotte, a fantastic staff member, saw our plight, went and got her own car, and drove us to the door of our hotel. A great experience all round. Definitely recommend this place!!
