Very happy we found and booked this place, it was an amazing stay! Perfect location close to Bushmill and Giants causeway, tucked away in beautiful and quiet surroundings. Apartments were newly renovated with great taste and comfort, super clean and well stocked with coffee/tea, fresh towels, great TV channels. Breakfast was another highlight, great variety provided (including gluten free!) and all very tasty. Private parking available right at the property. Our host was lovely and very attentive too, we cannot recommend this place strongly enough!

The whole accommodation was tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. Gail, our host, was instantly warm and inviting and clearly takes pride in providing a welcoming and relaxing home. The choice for breakfast was spot on and beautifully cooked and presented. Our triple room was significantly larger than others we have stayed in making our stay feel more luxurious and calm. When we wanted to have a Chinese takeaway one evening (China Garden - delicious!), Gail set a table for us in the dining room so we could enjoy our meal in comfort; she did all she could to make us feel at home while we were away. Being so close to The Giant's Causeway was excellent for us. As National Trust members, we were able to visit the site 3 days in a row and really got the most out of it. We also enjoyed the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede, Dunluce Castle, Whitepark Bay Beach and Elephant Rock, the whole Downhill Demesne site - walled garden (beautiful), ruined house, Messendem temple etc., the Antrim Coast and Glens. Apart from the Chinese, we'd also recommend Bilberry Takeaway in Bushmills - a bit pricey but yummy. And all this enjoyed in 3 long days!

Nothing!

My mom and I had an absolutely delightful stay at this charming B&B! From the moment we arrived, the host showered us with warmth and hospitality. Their insightful advice on exploring the area's main attractions was invaluable and truly enhanced our experience. The breakfast provided was not only delicious but also quite filling, setting us up perfectly for a day of adventure. Thank you for hosting us! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a cozy stay with exceptional service.

It was really quiet, very comfortable, clean, and quite cute. The location was perfect for us - very close to town but probably not walkable (we had a car and parking on property was provided). The breakfast was wonderful and there was lots to chose from. Lovely hostess!!

Only thought was we could have used a luggage rack or 2.

We had a family room with a bathroom that was huge with a table and tea-making facilities. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. The home-cooked breakfasts were delicious and there was lots of choice for breakfast. Additionally, I fractured a bone in my foot on the second day there and the hosts immediately gave us a downstairs room, brought breakfast to us and checked if we needed anything. The location is perfect for exploring the Giant's Causeway and the Antrim coast and we will return to finish our trip.

Nothing needs to be improved.

The host was exceptionally welcoming and friendly- she really could not do enough for us and was also a very good adviser on things to do and see. The room was bright and airy, immaculately clean and well appointed. the breakfast was as good as any we have had.

The room was very hot as the sun was on the large windows all day- as the main windows are actually french doors, they could not be left open at night as this would have been unsafe. we did open small windows above the bed and this made the road noise very noticeable- although there was not much of this after 10pm. the provision of an air conditioning unit or large fan would be all that is needed to improve this small issue that only slightly marred an otherwise lovely stay.

The decor is splendid also the bathroom is a great size. The view from the house is spectacular And the breakfast was amazing. There has been no short cuts in hospitality or in value. Even the local information sites eating out things to do is all in a very well prepared folder. Impossible to say anything wrong to discourage such a well run place. Thankyou .

Having to leave and say goodbye. Thankyou for a delightful stay.

The rooms are really spacious, comfortable and clean. It's close enough to Bushmills town with some restaurants which are good options for lunch/dinner. The breakfast at the hotel was fantastic. You can choose between 4 different options and it's plenty of food to get anyone satisfied.

Nothing major to complain about. The only thing I can think of it's the prices for the Giant's Causeway are not updated in the guides available in the room. The price was 15 pounds, compared with 10 pounds as the guide says.

Good breakfast, lovely wheaten bread! Gail was really friendly and helpful. Loved the room and our patio. Managed to catch a few rays of sunshine too! Found the guide in our room really helpful - walk ideas, places to visit, places to eat and great insider tips too.
