    “This is a lovely property and location for a quiet and relaxing break.”

    I would only add to previous reviews that there are absolutely no basic provisions, so if you are arriving by plane and stocking up en route, you will need to buy loo roll, as there will only be what has been left by previous occupants. There is no washing up liquid, there were a couple of dishwasher tabs to get you going, there is no salt, tea bags or sugar. There is a co-op in Ballycastle, so you can pick stuff up there, or at one of the bigger supermarkets on the way up.
