On a beautiful farm above Kinbane Castle ruins, overlooking the sea. Close to Ballycastle for amenities. Really special.

We had a wonderful and quick stay! Such a fun walk to Kinbane Castle & the lost sheep baaa’ing at our window was entirely charming. Highly recommend, especially if you like animals :)

I hit the wrong button on my check in, this place is fantastic. Nan couldn’t be more helpful. We will be back and stay for a few days next time. Quiet peaceful, lots of cows to wake us up and incredible sea and country side views. What a gem

This was the most amazing cottage to spent time with my wife. Secluded and beautiful, great views of the ocean, and can see Scotland sitting on the back patio. Short walk to Kinbane Casltle and to the town for the grocery if you want to cook. We did have a wonderful meal in town with Nans l recommendation Nan, has everything you need and then some. She has thought of everything for you to enjoy your time. Cheaper that a hotel too and well worth it. Make sure you book with her and not a travel site.
We will be back!!!
Cheers

Definitely go again
The property has excellent views and very quiet even though it’s on a working farm. It’s remote so own transport needed. Kitchen well equipped and plenty of hot water. Enough kindling for one fire and bed very comfortable. Sofa in living room uncomfortable to sit on for long periods of time but internet signal strong enough to stream movies
Our stay at Kinbane Self-Catering was the highlight of a dream vacation! The views are amazing, it's quiet, and it's convenient to many attractions. We hope to come back one day.
