Description from owner

Description

Spacious comfortable self-catering accommodation, ideal for families, large groups etc.

Set in an idyllic location approximately 2.5 miles from the seaside town of Ballycastle and 10 miles from the world famous Gaints Causeway, Forestsidehouse (and Cottage) offers the perfect base for exploring all of the attractions of the North Antrim and causeway coasts. Forestside House and Cottage have ample off-road parking, private gardens, play area for children, clean and comfortable accommodation. Nearby activities include: horse riding; golf; sailing; secluded forest walks and many more.

Forestside House and Cottage provides the perfect location for exploring Northern Ireland's many Game of Thrones filming sites.

Towels are provided for a small fee as part of our laundry contract (guests are encouraged to bring their own);

Electricity and heating is metered at local rates and payable on check-out. This is so that we can keep our running costs low and lower the price per night - it would be unfair to charge inclusively for heating and electricity for those guests who make the most of the location and barely spend time in the house.

Pets are welcome at £10pn.
