Stayed a few nights. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms nice. The breakfast bacon was really good. Quick and easy stay, no fuss.

The staff here are so lovely. They were really attentive without being overbearing, and it made the whole meal feel so relaxed. A nice change from places where you feel rushed.

Estelle was our server, really nice and checked on us just enough. Made the evening feel relaxed. Good service can make a difference.

The seafood chowder was the star for me. Really rich and full of flavour, probably one of the best I&#39;ve tried. The fish and chips were good too, a decent portion.

Sarah was lovely, really knew her beers and gave us some solid tips for the area. The place itself has a nice, relaxed vibe, perfect for a casual pint after a walk along the coast.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips is still the one to get. Properly crispy batter, nice flaky cod. A pint of Guinness alongside it just works. A solid local spot.

Really liked the food here. The service was spot on, friendly but not hovering. My favourite was the grilled octopus starter &ndash; tender, with a nice smoky char. A solid spot for a casual dinner.

Lovely little spot, feels like a cosy neighbourhood cafe. The cod was nicely cooked but could have done with a pinch more salt. Staff were really friendly and attentive.

The staff are so friendly, really made us feel at home. They suggested a lovely local white to go with the fish special, which was spot on. A bit of a wait for the main, but the service was so warm you hardly noticed.

The strawberry pavlova was the star. Light meringue, fresh cream, and those berries just worked. A lovely, sweet end to the evening.

Cute little spot right on the Ballycastle waterfront. Loved the beach hut theme inside, felt really cosy and clean. Perfect for a quick coffee stop.

Been coming here for years. The toasties are always spot on, perfect for grabbing something quick before heading over the bridge. Coffee&#39;s decent too. It&#39;s just a reliable local spot.

That saffron naan was the star of the show for me. So soft and buttery, with this lovely floral hint from the saffron. I could&#39;ve easily just had a plate of those!

The pizza&#39;s always solid, but I really like the vibe here. It&#39;s got this relaxed, industrial feel with those big windows and comfy booths. Just a nice place to unwind with a slice and a beer.

A solid neighbourhood spot. The pizzas are enormous, we couldn&#39;t finish ours! Good, quick service and a nice buzzy vibe with the low lighting. Menu had loads to choose from.

Been coming here for years, and the steak is always spot on. Tender, cooked just right. The crispy onions on top are a nice touch.

Lovely spot for a chilled coffee. The kids were happy with the little play area and mini golf, so we could actually finish our drinks! The beachy decor is cute.

Tried the early bird menu. The salt and chili chicken starter had a proper kick to it. But the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream? Honestly, the best I&#39;ve ever had.

The portions are decent. I had the fish and chips, the batter was crisp but the chips were a bit too soft for my liking. Good amount of food though.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips is always spot on. Huge portion, same great taste every time. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Lovely coffee and scones here. The staff are so welcoming, which makes a real difference. I had a quiet corner table, perfect for just sitting and relaxing. A very comfortable spot.

No reservation but they squeezed us in on a Friday evening. The pulled beef pasta with garlic cream sauce was a huge portion, really generous. Could easily have shared one between two.

Ordered a full vegetarian takeaway from here. The food was genuinely lovely, and I really appreciated that they accept card payments. Makes things so much easier.

Lovely old building, really calm inside. We could actually hear each other talk for once! Perfect for a relaxed family dinner.

Loved the vibe here! Perfect for catching up with friends. The decor is so nice, really cosy and relaxed. We ended up staying for ages just chatting. The food was decent too, but honestly, the atmosphere is the main draw.
