What we didn’t like 1. The large mobile fan in the room wasn’t working, and the windows only opening a couple of inches so the heat in the room was unbearable. I rang the receptionist twice in 2 hrs to see if it could be replaced. It took over 4hrs for a replacement working fan to be installed in the room. 2. The toilet roll in the room was nearly empty with no replacements. Also the toilet was lacking a simple toilet brush.

Lovely hotel

We had a great stay in ballycastle. The staff were the best I’ve probably ever had from the girls at check in to the lovely Australian woman at the bar who couldn’t do enough for us. We will certainly be back soon. Great value also and food was amazing especially breakfast

A great hotel

We enjoyed every part of our two night stay in this great hotel! Checking in was easy - we were early arriving, but the receptionist alerted housekeeping who made our room available for us. The room was spacious, a double and a single bed.. perfect! So comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Breakfast was really good - both continental style and hot food. The hotel is in a wonderful location- just beside the beach, near cafes, a couple of bars and an ice-cream shop! The main shops and bars are a short walk away. My husband has mobility issues, so we booked a taxi to go to a restaurant .. £4 each way.
