    “The cottage is fabulous, beds are comfortable, the place was spacious.”

    TV's had access to plenty of channels and radio. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of certain areas, both bins under the work counter had a layer of dirt around the top of them, we cleaned this ourselves, there were NO bin liners, we bought some to use, the inside of the mirror cabinet in the upstairs had not been cleaned. NO instructions in the property as to when the bins should be put outside for bin collections by the Council.... Some of the windows and doors could not be ...

The cottage has lovely views across the harbour and local fields. Good parking area and outside table and chairs. Ballycastle has lots of shops , bars, cafe and petrol stations. Recommend Dolly's for a nice breakfast.
