    Absolutely nothing!

    WOW, what a gem this B&B was to stay. Michael and his wife Michelle were excellent hosts and the pictures of the property don`t really do it justice. The entrance hall and staircase to this Manor House is worth the entrance fee alone, ha ha ! Part of a round trip from The UK - Fishguard - Rosslare - Belfast (Titanic etc) - Giants Causeway (very near here) and then a saunter down the West Coast before heading back to Rosslare. Greeted by Michael`s beaming smile, things just got better and better. Easy to find, plenty of parking, extremely spacious rooms (we had two double beds), plenty of sockets, TV, kettle / tea / coffee etc., a great shower and as it`s in the Country it was as quiet as you like. But the absolute star of the show was Michael`s amazing breakfast! Plenty of fresh fruit, yoghurts, juices and there were 25 (that`s not a typo), yes 25 different boxes of cereals, granola`s, bran flakes, corn flakes or weetabix etc. But, that still isn`t the start of the show...well not for me anyway.... Michael cooked a fantastic Full Irish Breakfast and after I`d avoided all the healthy stuff, it set us up for the day, ha ha ! Very well located for Giant`s Causeway, Portrush, PortStewart, Bushmills, Ballycastle and the ferry to Rathlin Island. Great place to stay, highly recommend!

    Martin was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. The room was large, the bathroom possibly larger and looked out over fields. Breakfast was copious with fresh fruit salad, lots of cereals and cooked food of a great standard. The house is very close to the Causeway Costal Route therefore easy access to the main attractions.

    The rooms are beautiful! Each room is painted and decorated with items of a specific colour - ours was purple, which is my favourite. 🙂 The whole place is extremely clean and tidy, and has a rustic lovely look to it. Breakfast was delightful, and exceeded our expectations. The location is great - nothing was too long a drive from there in either direction, but it was still located in the most peaceful and quiet surroundings.

    We had a lovely bathroom, but one had to leave our bedroom to access it. I believe that the other rooms had integral en-suite facilities. The property is somewhat isolated, so one needs a car to - for example - go to dinner. However, these are very minor details, and do not detract from an otherwise super stay.

    This was a fine experience. The room was large - and the bathroom possibly larger - and looked out over fields. Breakfast was copious - with fresh fruit salad, more cereals than in a supermarket, and cooked food of a great standard. Lots of room to park, a most welcoming mine host (Martin). Very well located for exploring the North Antrim Coastline.

    The room was very well equipped and spotless. Had a great night's sleep in this peaceful B&B. Everything you could possibly need for breakfast , including great conversion with Martin, who also knows the area inside out. We'll be back and recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking for a great base on the Causeway Coast.

    I love the quaintness. I felt so much like we were in an Irish home. It was so clean and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable and a breakfast has so many choices. Martin and his wife were amazing. Martin couldn’t do enough for us, and was so friendly. He made us whatever he wanted for breakfast, and he even took time to talk to us. He is exactly what I think of when I think of a nice and friendly Irish man.  We really recommend this B&B if you’re ever staying in Ballycastle. It’s actually one of my favorite places of both trips to Ireland that we have made.
