Enjoyed everything about our 2 night stay. Warm welcome, large comfortable room (with a fan - really appreciated as we had a mini heatwave), great breakfast. This is the perfect spot to explore the North Antrim coast from.

The owners greeted us arrival and showed us our room and the facilities. Everything is well maintained and in very good order. The whole B&B is spotless. The central town area is a short walk away where there are restaurants, pubs and shops. The coast and beach is also within within walking distance. The giant's causeway and rope bridge are a short drive away. An excellent location for all the beautiful sights on this coast line.

My wife and I had a great 2 night stay, wish we could have stayed longer! Location was excellent as it is very close to Northern Ireland's coastal gems. Also within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Excellent and healthy made-to-order breakfast each morning. Seemless check in and check out. Wouldn't hesitate in booking again on our next visit!
