We are a relatively new build with large spacious rooms for you to stay in. On offer are four rooms in total, a family room, (double bed and single bed), with a large bathroom next door with bath and shower located on the first floor, also two kingsize bedrooms which have a kingsize double bed, and a large shower en-suite and are also located on the first floor. On the ground floor there is the twin room which has two double beds and a large shower ensuite. All our rooms are modern in style and minimalist in decor as we don't like clutter or dust. We feel that because we only have four rooms we are able to give our guests more of our time and attention which we hope helps to make your holiday more enjoyable. So don't hesitate to come and ask us anything at all that you would like us to help you with we're always happy to recommend good local places to eat and visit. Also available (subject to availability) is a 7 kwh EV wall charger.
We are very lucky to live in an area steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful countryside not far from the North coast road. Its easy to access all the famous tourist sites in our area from our house the Giants Causeway is only eight miles down the road,the Bushmills distillery is only six miles away,the lovely town of Ballycastle is four miles away and the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge is three miles away. The Dark Hedges (made famous by its use as a film site for The Game of Thrones) are four miles and scenic Ballintoy harbour (otherwise know as the entrance to the Iron Isles G.O.T) is three miles away! So as you can see we're perfectly placed in a central location to take advantage of all the area has to offer. You will need a car to get about while you are here as there is no public transport system to access.
