Amazing stay, cozy and comfortable pods, with spectacular views, a great fire pit. We ordered the smores kit and smoked salmon breakfast kit, both were perfect. Will definitely stay again when we’re on the Causeway Coast

We stayed one night. Check in was easy, the property is in a quiet isolated area. Uts nice, however, its not suitable for a family of 4. The bed is very uncomfortable as it makes a lot of noice when reposition. The bunk beds are very small, maybe suitable for small children aged 3 to 5 years old. The space inside is small, however, outside is beautiful.

I would highly recommend staying here! The views over the sea are spectacular, pod 6 in particular has amazing views. The pod was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished to a high standard. The pull down sofa bed was very easy to set up and the bunk beds were very cosy for the children. The site was very well maintained, it had a lovely relaxed, safe atmosphere and was in walking distance to the nearest village ( but on a hill). Check-in/out was self service and very smooth with very clear directions. Our host Kerry was very friendly and accommodating. We will absolutely be returning here again. A magical place.
