Exceptional service by the host in a beautiful cottage! It's refreshing to see such service typically up in the northern ireland. Very close to the ballintoy harbour, it's quite picturesque. Breakfast was served with all warmth and generosity. Host made sure we were all warm and cosy. Must stay here if you plan to travel the causeway coastal route!!! He allowed our stay despite travelling with our infant which is not very common. Thank you!

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.
Nothing.

The property is in a great location close to the Giants causeway and Carrick a rede bridge, walking distance to local restaurants, also right up the road from a game of thrones filming spot. The rooms were clean, tidy and well appointed. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. We had a delicious Irish breakfast provided in the morning.
The sound proofing is not great. There was a family with young kids in the room above us that kept us up late running/jumping on the wooden floors.

The photos on the website don’t really do justice to this excellent B&B. It is in a glorious location in the centre of the north Antrim coast on a quiet road with sweeping views out to Rathin island and the Mull of Kintyre beyond. The picturesque Ballintoy harbour is 10 minutes walk down the hill. The Fullerton Arms, a short walk away, has good food. Our room was large and comfortable and the breakfast was good.

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

Our family of 4 (2 kids) stayed here recently. The castle is set in the most gorgeous surroundings and was beautifully clean, airy and modern. The room was huge, lots of space and lovely view from it. Beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom/shower was exceptionally clean and had plenty of towels and soap etc. If we ran out of something, the owner was so helpful and retrieved it for us. The breakfast in the morning was exceptional and had both cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit and fully cooked which was delicious. Plus toast, tea, coffee, and pure oj on the table. 2 mins Down the road is the breathtaking Ballintoy harbour where you could spend an entire day there, and Ballycastle, Coleraine, giants causeway etc are not far a drive away. So many beautiful places to walk around. Such a fabulous spot for hikers/walkers or families to stay and enjoy while in the area. The kids loved exploring around the buildings, seeing the rams (and the odd rabbit or two on the last day!) And had a great walk around the churchyard down the road after breakfast. The staff were amazing, so friendly, helpful, and always stopped for a good chat, and were very knowledgeable about the area. Thank you so much for an amazing stay in your absolute gem of a B&B! (And the kids enjoyed their ice cream and say a massive thank you again! 😁 ) We would certainly love to visit again and have passed on what a fabulous wee place it is to our family and friends! Thank you for a fantastic stay, it was amazing!!
That we didn't stay longer! Lol couldn't fault the Castle at all!

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!

Staff were lovely and very friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Very close to the coast with great views. Had a cooked breakfast in the morning which was also very nice. Would 100% recommend anyone staying here if you wanted to be near Portrush or the Giants Causeway.

Spotless clean room and bathroom. Very friendly owner 😃 who makes you feel like at home. A short walk to the village or to the harbour, you can also walk to the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. The Irish breakfast was fantastic! We would definitely recommend this place. Plenty of space for parking.
Would change the pillows, not too comfortable for us.
