Company information

I am form the local area. Have lived half my life in Australia and had always a desire to return home one day. Purchased this property 1.5 years ago so spent most of that time updating the house inside and out. There's no place quite like home especially when you come from Ballintoy.

Property information

The Castle Bed & Breakfast is situated on the world renowned North Antrim Coast, 6 miles from the world famous Giant’s Causeway. The property is set in the most enchanting surroundings, 0.5 miles from the idyllic Ballintoy Harbour with views of Rathlin Island. The world famous Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge and White Park Bay are both located within easy walking distance while the Ulster Way runs within metres of the property.

Neighbourhood information

Lots of activities to do here. For me I especially like the walk from Ballintoy to Whitepark no matter what the day, just special! Has got to be one of the best beaches in the country and doesn't get too many visitors as not the most accessible. The walk along the cliff top to the rope bridge with the outstanding views of Rathlin and the Scottish coastline. Quite a good spot for bird watching too. Not forgetting the picturesque fishing harbour that has appeared in the Game Of Thrones.
