Carriguisnagh

We had a great week in Ballycastle.

Great house right on the beach which our dog loved. Short walk into town along a shore path, no issues by day or night. Would highly recommend this house to anyone.

If you’re looking a relaxing stay by the beach with a large family then this is the place.

This beautiful old house is full of character and has a lovely way of making you feel like you’ve taken a step back to simplistic childhood summers. The wood burning stove is great, especially when you’ve just come back from the beach. Beds are very comfortable and the house is warm.

We had a lovely family break away for my Grandmothers 80th birthday.

Beautiful location and house with so much character. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Margaret the caretaker was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thankyou, we will definitely be back!

Communication with the owner of the property was spot on and the location was stunning.

Sadly, cleanliness was less than perfect with cobwebs and dirt in most rooms and a strong musty smell. Some black mould in places. To be fair, the owner says they are resolving this with the contracted cleaner so hopefully won’t be a problem in future and I suspect was worse because we went in November. Probably not such an issue in summer.

Great location and plenty of room.

House needs some tlc to get it to its true potential but good for a family trip

We had a wonderful holiday at Carriguisnagh.

Brilliant location. The children really enjoyed the great garden which was a secure area for play. The beds were very comfy and the house was cosy. One suggested improvement would be to install a larger fridge. We found the under counter fridge too small for the number of guests staying. We couldn't chill our drinks and only had space for limited chilled products. There is an ideal spot in the dining area for a full larder fridge. Otherwise we had everything we needed and had a fantastic time. Thank you.

It is just perfect and we love it.

We want too to say thank you to Amanda for letting us take our dogs..as myself and another member of our party have significant health issues and our dogs help our health and well being a lot

We stayed at Carriguisnagh for a week with as 2 families with young children and had a great time with the beach on the doorstep and amazing views.

The owner Amanda provided great information along with some history of the property, which was great to read prior to arriving. The house is full of character and period features, which is so nice to find! Location is great for exploring the North Coast or Rathlin

I loved the house and view.

Waking up every morning to see the sea is a dream! It's a beautiful old house and is very cosy and comfortable. It's also a very dog friendly property which is important for me.

The cottage was just great for a large family with a dog.

It was 'well lived in' which meant we did not feel on edge about spoiling anything. It was such a great location , close to the beach but within walking distance from the town. The fridge could have been bigger and the kitchen a little larger but we coped. The only hitch was with the TV. Luckily we had our laptop with us and were able to connect it to the Smart TV with a cable the landlady had delivered to us. This might be useful to include in the cottage booking information as well as the fact that there is WIFI.

For me this was an ideal holiday home, very well suited to a big group of people of various ages such as us.

We liked the homeliness of it, loved eating around the big dining table or sitting outside at the picnic table, taking in the wonderful surroundings. It is clean, well equipped and spacious but not so fancy that you felt concerned about bringing across sand from the beach. And the location is fabulous - a beautiful view to wake up to and a one minute walk to the sea! What more could you ask for?

Old and beautiful cottage directly to the beach!

We had a great time.

It is a wonderful building in a fabulous unique position, unrivalled by any other in Ballycastle.

It is old, a bit shabby and would not suit anyone who is looking for a beautiful home. But, if like us, you have a family or a dog, it is a wonderful place where you can feel comfortable, without worrying about spoiling anything. Amanda, the owner met with us and made us feel part of the family. It is definitely not a home that would suit everyone but it did suit us and we will certainly return again.

The house was good big and spacious, but needs a bit of work and there were dead flys and wasps everywhere overall we loved are stay but with a few extra touches it would really improve people stay … we would book again as the sea ,beech and view were unreal and we did love the house !

!! Thank you we enjoyed are stay

Great beachfront location, ideal for exploring the beautiful North Coast.

Good for families and dog friendly too. Also, short beach or path walk into Ballycastle for cafes, bars, shops and Rathlin ferry.

Wonderful beach location with beautiful views and sunsets.

Comfortable, homely accommodation. A great holiday house for the children and the dog with lots of outside space for them to play. We would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved the house and location Beautiful sea views looking out to Rathlin Island and the beach literally a minutes walk from the house We spent many afternoons in the garden which had the most gorgeous Dog Rose hedges, providing us with privacy to relax and enjoy the sea breeze and breathtaking vista The house itself was very comfortable and well equipped We have already booked another break later in the year!
