    There was nothing my sister and I didn’t like.

    Bungalow style; great for arthritic knees. The host is a very welcoming lady with a warm smile. Our room was warm and cozy, neat and tidy.

    We didn't realize that the B&B was a bit of a walk uphill from the nearest bus stop, but it's a lovely walk! (Also, thank you Gail for all of the rides!)

    Loved Gail and her family and all of their help during our stay, breakfast was great, and the room was very spacious.

    The walls are very thin (can hear a lot of what’s going on in the room next to you) so ear plugs might be a good idea if you are a light sleeper ( I am ).

    Very clean, very good choice of breakfast, can walk easily into Bushmills if you want to, our lovely host very kindly gave us a lift and we walked back.

    Can’t think of a single negative thing.

    This stay was positively wonderful. Comfortable, quiet and clean rooms. Our hostess was wonderful and attentive and the breakfasts wonderful. Another great thing was we were just minutes from all the area attractions. Highly recommend!

    The way to Bushmills is a bit challenging because there is no footpath down there. It is a 20 mins walk but I wouldn't recommend it in the dark (too dangerous).

    Gail was a great host. Her hospitality is lovely and she made us feel welcome right from the start.

    Nothing!

    The whole accommodation was tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. Gail, our host, was instantly warm and inviting and clearly takes pride in providing a welcoming and relaxing home. The choice for breakfast was spot on and beautifully cooked and presented. Our triple room was significantly larger than others we have stayed in making our stay feel more luxurious and calm. When we wanted to have a Chinese takeaway one evening (China Garden - delicious!), Gail set a table for us in the dining room so we could enjoy our meal in comfort; she did all she could to make us feel at home while we were away. Being so close to The Giant's Causeway was excellent for us. As National Trust members, we were able to visit the site 3 days in a row and really got the most out of it. We also enjoyed the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede, Dunluce Castle, Whitepark Bay Beach and Elephant Rock, the whole Downhill Demesne site - walled garden (beautiful), ruined house, Messendem temple etc., the Antrim Coast and Glens. Apart from the Chinese, we'd also recommend Bilberry Takeaway in Bushmills - a bit pricey but yummy. And all this enjoyed in 3 long days!

    If you end up in a room with guest rooms right above yours, you'll hear everything. As a light sleeper, that was a major inconvenience.

    Room was very clean. Bathroom was quite spacious. The location was perfect, it only took us few minutes to get to the Giant Causeway. The host made a delicious breakfast.

    Having to leave and say goodbye. Thankyou for a delightful stay.

    The decor is splendid also the bathroom is a great size. The view from the house is spectacular And the breakfast was amazing. There has been no short cuts in hospitality or in value. Even the local information sites eating out things to do is all in a very well prepared folder. Impossible to say anything wrong to discourage such a well run place. Thankyou .
