Escape
It doesn’t always have to be an adventure — here’s what a quieter kind of escape looks like on the North Coast.
Sometimes the best part of a getaway is doing very little at all. The North Coast lends itself perfectly to slowing down — with quiet beaches, salty air, and long, gentle evenings that invite you to press pause. At Lagom, you’ll find space to properly switch off. Whether it’s a slow breakfast in the courtyard, a walk along the headlands, or a sea swim followed by a fireside nap, there’s no set schedule — just the chance to rest, reset, and take things as they come.
Heres a few of our favourite ideas to unwind on the North Coast or go direct to book your stay here.
Eat
If good food is part of your getaway plans — you’re in the right place. Here’s where to begin…
From fish fresh off the boat to wood-fired bread and slow-cooked feasts, the North Coast has a way of doing food that’s honest, seasonal, and full of character. Whether you’re after a cosy pub lunch, something wild and foraged, or a long-table dinner under the stars, you’ll find plenty to sink your teeth into. At Lagom, you can cook together in well-equipped kitchens, bring in a local pizza truck, or let our in-house chef take care of everything with a custom menu tailored to your group — from simple, wholesome dishes to something a little more celebratory. Good food, shared well, is often the heart of the trip.
Heres a little bit of inspiration during your stay at Lagom.

Iconic sights like the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, and the Dark Hedges are all within easy reach — but some of the best moments come from the unexpected turns, quiet roads, and local stories along the way. Whether you’re up for coasteering, paddleboarding, or simply soaking in the views, this place delivers.
