“An excellent place to stay”
We stayed at Gwendoline’s Retreat for 2 weeks. It was an excellent place to stay. We travelled around the area visiting Portrush, the Giant’s Causeway, Ballycastle and Rathlin Island. We even managed day trips to Donegal and Belfast.?we also had time to relax and watch the farmer working in the fields next door, and some commonwealth games on Tv. The accommodation was well equipped and only lacked a dishwasher and an internet connection!

“Peace, quiet and access”
4 miles from Bushmills, minutes from Giant’s Causeway and Portrush access to this part of Ulster is magnificent. Further on Ballycastle for boat trips, especially to Carrick- a - Rede and also Dunluce Castle gives you the essence of our holiday. The cottage is nicely furnished and equipped. Feed the birds and a variety will visit. A niggle is no WiFi.
