    Room was large, airy and quiet, the beds were incredibly comfortable, plenty of tea and coffee and space. My friend and I got the best sleep and a lovely big breakfast and our host even gave us a lift to another sight. I would love to stay here again.

    The photos don’t do the B&B justice, the rooms are exceptionally clean, modern with a really homely country feel and they are very warm. The bed was the most comfortable bed on our trip. The breakfast we had was fantastic, and lastly the hosts were so welcoming and made us feel very at home.

    Nothing!

    The location was amazing! Very close to the rope bridge and cliffs walk in the morning is so refreshing. The hosts are so resourceful and friendly. After speaking to them , we saved ourselves almost 100 euro for attraction fees and carpark. Breakfast was lovely and yummy. The place itself is very warm, and feels like home. Really great for a getaway from busy city. People in town are so friendly also. I forgot my passport there, and they swiftly posted it back to me (International post) 11/10 highly recommended and will return again!

    Nothing.

    A nice lady greeted us and provided us with an excellent cooked breakfast & toast the next day. The B&B was clean, neat and tidy. Our room was very spacious. The location was superb with free on site parking. It was about 5 minutes' walk to the main street where we had a nice dinner at the Fullerton Arms. In the pub there was a room with excellent Game of Thrones decor. We also walked from the B&B to the harbour where there was a cafe and a beach. There was a sign that indicated some scenes of Game of Thrones were filmed in the area. The walk was down a steep hill. Cars can be driven towards the harbour and there was parking by the cafe. The B&B owner was friendly. Ballintoy was a lovely place to visit.

    The best things about the accommodation were: parking right outside the house, the host's sense of humour, a totally quiet room, everything new or refurbished, beautiful location - close to all the places of interest in the area and a big delicious Irish (not English) breakfast!

    I had no dislikes at all everything was just as you would like it.

    Everything was great, greeted on arrival and Donnach, was very friendly and down to earth.great breakfast in the morning in a lovely dining area. He and Tracey, we're great hosts and they have plans to add more facilities in the future. I would certainly go back again and highly recommend a stay there. Balintoy was beautiful and the Roap Bridge restaurant in the Village was excellent. Well worth the trip and great value for money. We got a great insight into the local area from Donnach and his vision for the future of the business.

    The location was great. The host was so kind and helpful. We got into Dublin at 5 am and drove straight to the area. Our host got us our room so we could rest. The room was comfortable and our rest was very nice here. The area is just beautiful and the hiking is great.
