“Homely and heartwarming cottage to welcome you to Ballycastle.”
+It’s hard to express how much we needed Tornaroan Cottage! It was like we were in a family holiday house that had been curated foe generations of our family. Anything we needed, we just turned around and it was there. The view was amazing, had the best night’s sleep of our whole holiday. Honestly the best.
−Nothing at all except having to leave. I would love to spend a whole summer here! A bit hard since we live in Australia.

“Totally relaxing and blissful”
+The view from the cottage was stunning. Good sized generous garden. The wildflowers at the front of the cottage were beautiful. The cottage was cosy, clean and comfortable. Loved the wood burning fire in the living room - generous amount of wood/peat/turf provided. All of the rooms were thoughtfully laid out and decorated to enhance the cottage experience. We appreciated the home made biscuits, milk, eggs, cereal, condiments and prosecco. Thoughtful of the host to provide beach towels.
−There was nothing we didn't like. It would be good to provide a parasol for the garden to provide shade. We had one with us for the beach so not a big deal for us.

+Comfortable and cozy, we really felt at home. Fantastic views which could be clearly seen from the house and garden. Welcome gifts of proseco, eggs and biscuits! Firewood and peat kindly provided was enough for our stay. Lots of helpful information about the area and walking options. Joanne was very helpful and responsive to messages. Location- felt off the grid, but Ballycastle just 5 mins drive away, and had everything we needed. Will be back!
−Nothing to dislike!

The sea view from the cottage is amazing, and the location can’t be any better for visiting Giants causeway, Ratlin island, etc.

“Simply perfect!”
+This quaint cottage is beautifully presented just outside Ballycastle centre. The views from the private gardens overlook Rathlin Island and are stunning. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you needed and packed with information to make your stay comfortable. The hosts were super helpful and kept in touch regularly especially at check in/check out. Will definitely return on our next visit to Ireland 100%
