Ballycastle, Strand Cottages Modern Home

We stayed here for 3 nights in June 2026. This was a very comfortable small house, three adults in two bedrooms, we didn't use the small kids room with the bunk beds. The house had everything you might need, including a fully furnished kitchen with a (new) washing machine and tumble drier. At the start/end of the day it was nice to sit out in the comfortable chairs in the smallish but pleasant garden. There's a parking space for one car directly outside the house, you could have another car on the roadside. The best thing about the house is the location. 10 minutes walk from the Rathlin Ferry, 5 minutes walk from the beach and the Causeway Rambler bus stop (if you don't want to drive) to explore the North Coast. Ballycastle is a small town so everything like the Ursa Minor bakery + coffee shop is close by. If you want to get supplies out of the Co-Op, you can walk most of the way along a river path. The owners were very helpful and communicative before and during our stay. Overall this was a great find, and we're truly happy we stayed there rather than the slightly cheaper apartment we were thinking of booking.

Beds could have been a little firmer for our taste, but everyone is different. Also wasn't sure how to recycle empty bottles, but other recycling is via the bin at the side of the house.

How close it was to the beach

There was nothing we didn’t like

Good location. Very easy access. Off-street parking. House was comfortable and clean with one exception.

The light not working in one bedroom, not a big deal as we moved a lamp in from another room. The sheets in the master bedroom had not been changed since the last guest & were dirty (covered in body hair). Otherwise the property was very clean.

The host was very helpful and accomadating. The house itself was spotless, warm and comfortable. Great on site parking, easy checkin and out of the property. I would highly reccomend this proberty in a quiet location.

We stayed 2 nights

Location is excellent. 2min walk from the seafront. Parking is super easy right at the door. House is clean and very airy with the sun beaming through the big windows. Very comfy beds and spacious kitchen. We stayed with 2 young children and it was excellent. Would really recommend this place to stay.

There was very little to dislike. Only tiny points, no kitchen roll was supplied, wire coat hangers could be substituted for better ones. Front door lock is pretty stiff to get the key out of. However this place was absolutely excellent and these are genuinely tiny minor grumbles.

Plenty of room for our mixed family. Large, well equipped kitchen. Everything we needed for a couple of nights. Facilities available for younger children - cot, high chair, toys. Excellent location. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach.

Nothing to fault.

Location was very good

Work bring done in the garden during our stay was noisy. I would have liked to have been informed of this beforehand.
