“North Croft was excellent.”

We only stayed for a long week-end, but , even though the weather was pretty awful ( Not anyone's fault, of course ) we would have loved to have stayed longer. This is an Organic dairy farm with stables for livery horses. We were made very welcome by the owner , Alan. He showed us round the farm as we were more than interested to see the work involved with organic farming. If you have the pleasure of owning your own horse, I would recommend that you arrange with the owners to bring it with ...

There is an amazing cross country course for your use, as well as all the great country lanes to explore. The horse owners are very friendly and stopped for a chat. We had a lovely time and would love to return again. Would fully recommend you try North Croft. Thanks. Regards Terry and Kathy. Co.Antrim.

“Great cottage, extremely comfortable with everything we needed for a lovely holiday.”

“The setting and the location of this cottage is beautifull, Muriel, Alan & Christopher are very lovely people there if needed but not imposing.”

The place was so clean we felt we could have eaten our dinner off the floor , no need to of course as the facilities where amazing , everything you could want in the kitchen , bathroom and lounge , it's a working farm but apart from a little lowing of the cows now and then you would not know it , we had the best time and the views are to die for , and we shall look forward to staying there again .

The property

On a working organic dairy farm in rural Ulster, The North Croft benefits from its own equestrian centre and cross country course, where guests are even welcome to bring their own horse along.

This fabulous log cabin overlooks the training grounds, only a short walk to the lake, perfect for couples or a family to spend some quality time enjoying the location at its finest.

The interior oozes charm, warmth and character from the get-go, a homely place to return to each day, with views of the scenic outdoors almost following you around, and comfortable furnishings in every room.

The country cottage theme is reflected throughout the accommodation, from the lounge with its electric woodburner-effect stove and effective flooring to the wonderful wooden kitchen.

Whether you are sitting back watching TV, or gathering at the dining table for a family dinner, this retreat draws in sunlight throughout the day, and doubles up as a cosy haven once the sun goes down.

Two bedrooms are well-presented; patterned bedding and stylish decor upholds the quality feel, a well-coordinated arrangement consisting of a double and a twin room.

There is also a sofa bed in the lounge should you wish to invite two extra guests.

Lastly.

a lovely shower room features a vanity unit and a feature wall, so you can get ready in style every morning and evening.

Outside the decked seating area is home to a barbecue, which can be enjoyed together on a warm afternoon.

The civil parish of Ballymoney is tucked into the historic baronies of Dunluce Upper and Kilconway in County Antrim, and the barony of North East Liberties of Coleraine in County Londonderry.

Ballymoney is situated on the main road between Coleraine and Ballymena, with good road and rail connections to the main cities in Northern Ireland, Belfast and Derry.

On both coasts there are several resort towns, including Portrush (with well-known golf links), Portballintrae and Ballycastle; on the east Cushendun, Cushendall and Waterfoot on Red Bay, Carnlough and Glenarm, Larne on the Sea of Moyle, and Whitehead on Belfast Lough.

An idyllic destination for four people.
