What happened after The Hotel Inspector?
Billy Andy's, a pub, restaurant and bed and breakfast at 66 Browndod Road near Gleno village, Larne, featured in series 19, episode 6 of The Hotel Inspector (Channel 5), aired 2024-05-09. TheTVDB's episode overview places it at the start of Northern Ireland's Causeway Coastal Route and describes Alex Polizzi helping the owner, Eamon, make the most of what he has. Northern Ireland World reported on 2024-05-07 that the venue sits in a building dating to the 1800s and that Mid and East Antrim Borough Council approved it as a wedding venue in 2023. The article said the episode covers the day-to-day side of running a B&B and includes guests such as Stevie Haughey, founder of the travel website Ireland Before You Die, who stayed in November 2023. The Scotsman reported before the broadcast that Eamon McAuley owns the business and that it was losing money.
Northern Ireland World reported that the venue announced on its Facebook page on 23 April 2024 that it was rebranding as Sixty Six, taking the name from its street number. Ireland Before You Die, in an article dated 2024-05-02, likewise gave the new name as Sixty Six. Discover Northern Ireland lists Sixty Six, formerly Billy Andy's, as a 19th-century pub and restaurant with four en-suite rooms, a restaurant serving local produce, and open log and peat fires. The travel site Destinia lists Alberg Sixty Six at the same address. Neither listing carries a recent date, and the sources read do not show whether the venue is trading in 2026 or describe what changed after the episode.
