This accommodation was absolutely perfect for our needs.
We were very grateful for the secure sheep fencing around the compound so that we didn’t have to worry about our dogs as they wandered about. The Croft itself was very spacious, warm and well appointed; the kettle tap was so convenient, as was the very up-to-date washing machine and cooker, and the walk-in shower. We really enjoyed walking on the underfloor heating, and it was so efficient, we had to buy a fan to cool the bedroom at night (a fan might be a useful addition to the repertoire of facilities). The bed was super comfy; we slept extremely well (it is slightly higher due to the excellent quality mattress, so be aware if you are short or less mobile—I think the pics provided are a good guide). Despite the very Northern Irish weather, we were able to sit out on the generous front door-step in the sunshine as it came and went with the deluxe camping chairs provided. We had the joy of meeting the owners, who were over for part of our holiday. There is a fascinating story behind the Croft with local family connections and there is a photo album chronicling the progress of the restoration and build. My overall impression was good and we were very comfortable there (once the small sofa was installed during our visit). The Glens of Antrim are stunning as is the Causeway Coastline and we made frequent use of the beach at Waterfoot, arriving there via the dramatic scenery of the Glenarff valley, to give the dogs a run and have a paddle in the sea. We absolutely plan to rebook.
