The hosts were wonderful. They were extremely responsive and met our every need. Breakfast was always delicious and was served when we wanted it. Michael also shared very helpful insider travel tips and even taught us a few words of Irish (he's fluent). We also loved the peaceful location that was only a 10-minute drive from Ballycastle.

Amazing B&B - with an Irish language bonus!

Michael was an amazing host - happy to chat with us and to recommend restaurants and pubs in town, but also happy to give us our space. I enjoyed the chance to use my cúpla focal to converse as Gaeilge. Great room and amazing breakfast.

Perfect location to explore the wonders of the Antrim coast. Our host Michael was engaging and even taught us a few words in the Irish language as a parting gift. A very pleasant experience with a hearty breakfast.

The owners are great and welcoming. They have lots of suggestions on dinning, pubs and nearby attractions. Even gave advice on the route to take to get there (more scenic). The room was large and beautiful with a large private bathroom. We had a full breakfast every morning. This is a true bed and breakfast. We even learned some Irish words.

We stayed at this property for two nights as it is very convenient to all of the north and east coast attractions like Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-rede bridge, Friary, Dunluce and Kinmare Castles, and if you're a GOT fan, the lost village of Galboly and Dark Hedges were both close by as well. Our room was clean and tidy and had a double and a twin bed so would be good for a small family. Michael was very welcoming and gracious host and made several great recommendations for sights and local restaurants. The views from the property were amazing and its very quiet. It is not walkable for restaurants but they are a close drive of 10-12 minutes - we really enjoyed the Salthouse and O'Connors pub. A great stay and would book there again in future.

What an amazing B&B the owners are so nice and the breakfast was just as amazing the bangers and bacon are so local they come from just a few farms away. I wish I would have booked another night.

Cozy B&B

We would highly recommend staying here with Micheál. It’s a lovely countryside property with an adorable friendly black cat outdoors. About 15 minutes from Ballycastle but everything in the region felt very accessible. He was prompt on our check in at 4pm, showed us our room and made some suggestions for our trip - his top 2 suggestions ended up being our favourites of the trip! (Much better than the causeway.) Our breakfast was lovely - fried egg, back bacon, sausage, tomato, beans, and toast with spreads. Tea and coffee and juice. There were cereals if you wanted. Very filling and delicious! He was also very gracious when we accidentally left without paying and sorted it all out over email easily. We would certainly stay here again!

Teach an Cheoil was an amazing stay and experience. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and we were even invited to attend an Irish Music Trad Trail (pub hopping & music) in Ballycastle with the hosts who play several Irish instruments, teach Irish music and Irish language. They are the kind of people who change the world by bringing back and continuing Irish traditions. Teach an Cheoil is a serene beautiful place with a spacious room, large bathroom, great shower, and view of surrounding emerald fields full of sheep grazing. The sunsets over the ocean were gorgeous too! Breakfasts were home cooked and delicious. We had such a great experience at Teach an Cheoil. We will definitely be back but will stay longer next time! Mahalo Michéal!

Propriété très proche de Ballycastle, mais en pleine campagne (du coup, très proche des particularités de la côte) - ça repose! - Hôte très attentif au bien-être de ses invités, mais liberté totale d'aller et venir of course.
