Castlerock break

We had a wonderful time staying in this home. The check-in was great and the home was large enough to accommodate all of us (2 couples and a teenager) along with relatives who came to visit us! Would certainly stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.

Beautiful stay in Castlerock.

I arranged a 2 night stay in Castlerock before returning home from Australia. The booking was made easy online. The plan was for my family to meet my partners family from Sweden while seeing the Beautiful North Coast of Ireland. The pictures of the house in the post do not do this house justice at all. 6 bedrooms, plenty of space, bathrooms, showers, baths. All the towels or utensils required for your stay readily available. 2 ensuites in 2 bedrooms, alongside 1 large bathroom with bath & shower, and a separate toilet downstairs - perfect! Neville kindly set up the dining tables to hold additional people, and the cot & high chair allowed my sister to pack "a little lighter " however not much lighter with 2 children I may add. The garden allowed sunshine, snacks, drinks & games with the children, and we were able to see the sunset in the distance. We visited the Giants Causeway, Portrush and the beaches nearby. Cannot fault the house at all. Thank you so much to Neville & his family. Will highly recommend another stay. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience especially after lockdown. Neville was accommodating and so pleasant. So much information available on local attractions. Property is huge and catered for all our various age needs. Great secure garden for children to play in and 5 mins from the beach. We will be back. Thank you

Excellent house. Very clean and well appointed. Very spacious and well equipped, and well located for Northern Ireland's North Coast beaches and attractions. Short drives to/from Belfast, Londonderry and Co Donegal. (Train station a short walk from house). We got a great warm welcome from our host also a welcome pack. Before arriving we received reassuring text and phone from our host also . We had family from Scotland staying with us and they were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed their stay and are planning for a return visit for next year.

Highly recommend this spacious home

Lovely spacious home, in a lovely quiet development. A perfect location close to the beach and train station. We stayed with another family and having 2 large bedrooms with en-suites was great. The showers had great power and plenty of hot water. There was even a toilet in the kids room if the needed to go during the night. Would definitely stay again if we were down that direction.
