Fodor's Expert Review The Hedges Hotel

Cashing in on the international appeal of Game of Thrones, the Hedges hotel is as close as you can get to staying beside one of the most photogenic film locations, the Dark Hedges, known in the series as Kingsroad, and famed for its ancient beech trees. Its raison d'être may be the trees, but the bedrooms are clean and impeccably maintained (if the style is a little dated), and the hotel has landscaped gardens and its own 18-hole golf course. You can make your own way to see the trees—it is less then a five-minute walk—or you can go on a guided 30-minute tour from the hotel by following an atmospheric trail through a forest. Check with the hotel in advance as tour times change. If you are not staying at the hotel, it costs £2 per car to park, although if you are a patron of the hotel café or bar then there is no charge to park.
