    “The accommodation was great for what we needed - a base to explore the Antrim coast.”

    It is perfect for 2 people and is well equipped with what you need. The view across the landscape from the accommodation is lovely. You do need a car, but you are within easy distance of Ballintoy and Bushmills. We enjoyed our stay. Not to be published as part of review: Suggestions for the owner - it would be useful to have a hanging hook or over door hanger for the bathroom so you have somewhere to hang up your towel or clothes while showering.
