Marvel at the coastal-themed exterior of the property painted in white and blue before entering the hallway to find the quaint sitting room to your left, hosting a colourful array of furniture with a floral sofa and mint green armchairs arranged around the woodburning stove, this room makes the perfect spot to delve into a good book, the dining table for three overlooking the sea also offering a great space to play a board game brought from home. Move through into the dining room with enough space for the whole group to gather, leading you through to the well-equipped kitchen where you will find all you could need to prepare those family favourites including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and even a washing machine for those longer stays. From the kitchen you will find your very own private yard, a lovely space for the little ones to play freely, or sit out on the front lawn amongst the coastal breeze, the ultimate spot for alfresco dining.

When you can tear yourself away from this beautiful base, venture out to the front of the property to be met by the wonder of Ballycastle Strand, with spectacular views perfect for paddling or a scenic stroll leading you to the centre of the town.
