Cul-Erg House & Kitchen

Perfection. This establishment has it all: wonderful accommodation, terrific breakfast with from scratch preparation with local ingredients, great location within walking distance of the sights, and, above all, two hosts that seamlessly make your stay perfect. Book!

I have just completed a stay at the wonderful Cur-Erg house in Portstewart, arriving for a two night stay in April 2024. We had two double rooms and it really was a superb experience in a number of ways. The hotel is located less than a minute’s walk from the sea front and as you approach the hotel you quickly realise what a well kept establishment this is. The owners welcomed us to show us to our rooms which were very well appointed indeed. The hotel is extremely clean and in the bathrooms, every conceivable extra has been included, with some very nice products available. The double bed was very comfortable and the room had every facility required for a very enjoyable stay. The breakfast was a particular highlight. Everything is cooked to order and a large number of different breads were available, including fresh Irish soda bread. All the breads were either home made or sourced fresh from local bakeries and the quality of the breakfast was outstanding. The owners were really helpful in advising us how to get the most from our time in the area and are very knowledgeable about the local history. Their recommendations of local restaurants to visit were excellent. The owners work extremely hard to maintain the hotel to the highest standard possible and are very welcoming indeed. I hadn't planned to return to Portstewart but I'm now planning to make a further trip, simply to be able to stay at The Cul-Erg again.

Cul-Erg House & Kitchen, a 4* B&B offering unique & stylish accommodation in Portstewart, also provides a wonderful breakfast, with snacks, a selection of scones & patisserie, & lunches available until 4pm. We always love calling into Cul-Erg when we’re on the North Coast: an oasis of calm away from the holiday hustle & bustle. All produce is locally sourced, with a selection of hot dishes made to order, and there’s a pretty courtyard, fragrant with herbs & the salt air from the Atlantic making it the perfect location for a post breakfast coffee. All dietary requirements are well catered for; we had a delicious vegetarian breakfast with herby homemade meat-free sausages, fluffy omelettes with savoury fillings, a mini fry with local bacon and sausages, and a breakfast special of smashed avocado & tomato salsa on sundried tomato & feta bread with poached eggs. Cul-Erg House prides itself in its Irish hospitality and customer service which are second to none, serving up delicious homemade food demonstrating simplicity & quality.

My sister and I had a lovely 2 night stay in Cul Erg B&B. Spacious room with cosy beds. Tea making facilities in the room with fresh bottled water. Breakfast was delicious, it was freshly made by our host Marie and JJ. There was a great variety. JJ was very helpful and provided us with great advice about places to visit and explore. Portstewart is a quaint little town with lots of lovely shops and cafes. Lovely walks on the strand and the convent walk is really lovely. We enjoyed out stayed immensely.

This is an awesome town and B&B. We were 3 couples and our host "JJ" was amazing! The location is within walking distance to Portstewart which is a very picturesque town and worth visiting. Our B&B was very comfortable, clean, quiet and breakfasts were amazing. JJ gave us lots of suggestions on where to visit and restaurants to dine. Would highly recommend staying here!

This is a homely little place situated just before you get into the Main Street of Portstewart. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere peaceful. The food and service were fantastic. We both had the eggs with wheaten bread and were able to choose what way we wanted our eggs. I had poached and my wife had scrambled. I added salmon to mine. The wheaten bread was very fresh so it was likely baked in the cafe itself. The scone was also fresh and served with fresh jam and cream. The cappuccinos were perfect. Definitely don’t pass this place by if your in the area. We’ll definitely be back.

JJ and Marie are amazing hosts! Our room was lovely, well appointed, and had everything that we needed. I felt at home immediately. JJ gave us great recommendations for things to do. Best of all was breakfast! I can’t describe how good it was and they deserve Michelin stars! Stay here, and you will not be disappointed.

I've stayed at Cul Erg B&B four times over the years. I have family in N. Ireland and the Antrim coast is one of my favorite places to visit when I come to Ireland. JJ and Marie are wonderful hosts. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The B&B location is excellent for local golf courses, beaches and walks to Portstewart shops, restaurants and pubs. JJ makes sure to give visitors all the lastest information to make visits to local attractions easy and memorable. There is a lovely restaurant and coffee shop on the premises. The dining area is cozy, cheery and exceptionally clean. I highly recommend booking breakfast at Cul Erg when booking a room. Breakfast is very good with many choices on the menu but I like the traditional Irish breakfast the best. There are so many sites to visit on the Antrim coast and Portstewart is an ideal location to stay while exploring the beauty and wonders of N. Ireland. I've stayed at other B&B's in Portstewart in the past but once I discovered Cul Erg House I book here every time I come to Ireland. You can't go wrong with Cul Erg House for an authentic Irish experience and hospitality.

Just a two night stay in a single room to be within walking distance of friends. It fitted the bill perfectly. My bed was super comfy, and the room and en-suite were spotless with facilities often only found in top, expensive hotels, such as tea/coffee making, face flannel, courtesy toiletries, two towels, wifi, etc. The owner, JJ, was very polite, friendly and welcoming. I didn't eat there as I went to my friends.
