Harbourview Hotel (formerly Londonderry Arms)
Formerly The Londonderry Arms Hotel - built by the Marchioness of Londonderry in 1848 as a coaching inn and later owned by her great grandson, Sir Winston Churchill - this characterful property was acquired by a consortium headed by hotelier Adrian McLaughlin, master Irish whiskey distiller, Darryl McNally and entrepreneur Carl Harrison in summer 2024 and relaunched as The Harbourview Hotel.

Formerly The Londonderry Arms Hotel - built by the Marchioness of Londonderry in 1848 as a coaching inn and inherited by her great grandson, Sir Winston Churchill, in 1921 - this characterful property was acquired by a consortium headed by hotelier Adrian McLaughlin, master Irish whiskey distiller, Darryl McNally and entrepreneur Carl Harrison in summer 2024 and relaunched as The Harbourview Hotel.
Since then, the trio – who also own Outwalker and Limavady Whiskey – have completed an extensive restoration of the historic hotel, which is a much-loved destination on the Causeway Coastal route.
Described as Ireland’s first ‘whiskey hotel’, The Harbourview is part of a growing focus on whiskey tourism in Ireland and - as well as hosting specific whiskey tasting events - the hotel bar offers a collection of over 300 whiskeys, alongside classic whiskey cocktails and a collection of exclusive whiskey tasting flights.
Hearty homecooked food has always been an attraction at the hotel and that is continuing in The Coach House bar and brasserie, which serves a range of classic Irish favourites such as seafood chowder, beer battered fish and chips, Guinness braised daube of beef, bacon chop with champ and cabbage and a whiskey chicken stack.
The rooms have all been refurbished, with an emphasis on comfort, and this remains a delightful place to stay in a lovely old-fashioned harbourside village on the dramatic Causeway Coastal route.
