Advice 2025 British Open: Lodging and Transport Tips

[RoamingRoots]

My husband and I are excited to attend the 2025 British Open next July in Northern Ireland, and we're looking to make the most of our 1-2 day visit. We're on the hunt for tips on affordable lodging options close to the tournament venue. Also, what’s the best way to get around? Should we consider renting a car, or are there good public transport options available? Any recommendations or experiences would be super helpful!

Sounds like an exciting trip! For lodging, consider looking for guesthouses or B&Bs in the nearby towns like Portrush or Portstewart. They often offer a more affordable and cozy experience than larger hotels. As for transport, renting a car gives you flexibility, especially if you want to explore the stunning coastline. However, if you prefer not to drive, check out local bus services—they're generally reliable and can take you to most key spots. Have you thought about any specific activities you want to do while you're there?

Great to hear you’re attending the British Open! For lodging, you might also want to check out Airbnb options, as they can provide unique stays at competitive prices. Regarding transport, if you're up for an adventure, the coastal drive is breathtaking and well worth it, but if you opt for public transport, look into day passes for buses—they can save you money if you plan to hop around. Do you have any interest in exploring local attractions or cuisine while you're there? Northern Ireland has some fantastic spots beyond the golf course!
