Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ballycastle

This was a last minute few days away, and what a find, so peaceful, I loved the garden, could just potter about in it all day, huge fish pond so relaxing . Little slice of heaven. We have 2 pugs one very very anxious, Nicola was so understanding. Hot tub was a wonderful bonus. Definitely recommend this place, in such a lovely area and walking distance to the beach .

Hugh's house was stunning I really enjoyed my stay here would love to come back again. The place was so clean and the kitchen is beautiful, he had everything in that you would need. The outdoor area was private and quiet, it was a blessing to sit outside and have a coffee in the morning. I messaged him questions about the hot tub and he was very responsive and easy to follow with his instructions. A brilliant house and location, Thanks Hugh!

Orla's property was a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life. A beautiful wee gem in nature, log cabin exactly as pictured, clean with all facilities to enjoy your stay. Orla was very responsive to any questions asked. We are glad we got the added extra of the hot tub, which was lovely to relax and take in the stunning views of the sun setting. We fell in love with their beautiful dogs Marti and Gerry it was lovely to get a wee visit, they were very friendly. We would definitely recommend their accommodation for an escape. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you 😊

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful surroundings and a beautiful house. The smell as soon as you enter is lovely, just like a sauna with all the cedar wood. The view is beautiful, and the hot tub was super. The house is close to all the activities, a 5 min drive to everything. Thanks Pearl for a lovely stay!

Myself and my husband had a lovely stay. Just what we needed to relax. Beautifully clean pod, with fresh milk, cereal etc for the next morning. We would highly recommend and will most definitely be back.

From the pictures and reviews of Bancran School we were very excited for our stay and it did not disappoint! The pod was gorgeous and cosy, the hosts had even popped the radiator on for our arrival. There were some lovely local pancakes for our breakfast and some fancy Taytos (I didnt even know you could get these, they were so good!). The fire had also been lit on our arrival for the bathtub outside, we spent ages in it later that night, we loved how private it was too. The surrounding area is gorgeous and the hosts had given us a huge list of local tips, things to do and places to eat which was amazingly helpful! Overall it was one of my favourite holidays we have had and I highly recommend staying here

Booked very last minute for anniversary surprise and an absolutely amazing stay! Everything there provided, relaxing and clean all round. Martina and Anna were so helpful in providing all updates and making sure we felt right at home. Cottage is perfect for a couples get away or a group get away. Lovely and spacious with a private hot tub and lovely setting throughout the cottage. Will definitely be returning thank you!

Lorna is a fantastic host, very responsive, with great attention to detail. The house is beautiful, ideally located within walking distance of Portrush and Portstewart and includes all the necessary components to instantly make you feel right at home. This was our first trip away with our 6 month old and Lorna’s house and hosting was major factor in us having a wonderful time. We can’t wait to return.

I recently stayed at Gillian’s apartment with my family. The apartment has everything you need for your stay, is beautifully decorated and has the most fantastic view. It is set in a peaceful location but within walking distance of all amenities. Gillian is very responsive and on hand for any queries. 100% would recommend

We had an unexpected family emergency and find this jam. Family had to travel in from a couple of different countries and the host was so flexible and so helpful. We love this place and will stay here again. Great views great space for having to work clean functional a hidden jam. Thanks so much.

Lovely house near Portstewart. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable living space. Two full bathrooms so ideal for our party of three couples. Spacious terrace accessed from main living area with open views over golf course towards the coast. Works better with a car as about 1.5 mile walk in to Portstewart centre. Recommended!

Lovely central flat for a stay on the north coast. Very responsive and informative host and the cookies were great on arrival!

We had a great time here. It's just a short walk into Portrush centre and to the beach. The apartment was quiet despite being so handily placed.

Peters Place was wonderful, private. loved being on the farm with the animals. the surrounding area it was all perfect. Lots of area to walk and wonder. Peter offered great suggestions on things to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Isabella is a very good host and spends time telling you about the cottage and the sorrounding area. The cottage is set in a peaceful area with plenty of parking .Farm animals can be seen in the nearby fields with hens around the garden. The cottage is very well furnished with plenty of bed clothes and towels.The kitchen has everthing you need with coffee tea milk butter etc provided. I would recommend the cottage for a peaceful getaway.

Great place to stay for travelling around the tourist areas. Suited our stay and would happily stay ther again. Thank you.

This place literally felt like staying in a 5 stay hotel inside of an art museum. Mark was very friendly and proactive with information and instructions on how to give in and get to the place. This place was well worth the price we paid. Only downside is we should have stayed longer!

What a fantastic find. David’s place met our expectations and beyond. The finishing touches in the decor, furnishings and kitchen/bathroom additions was second to none. Great location for local amenities and as a base for exploring beyond. David is a super friendly and responsive host offering a vast array of information on both the house and local areas. 100% recommend and we hope to visit again soon. Thanks David x

Janice was a great host. Accommodation and location were fantastic. Access to great walks, buses, food (to eat in or eat out) all very easy. Bushmills was a good base to discover the Northern Ireland coastline.

There are too many wonderful things to say so I’ll try to highlight a few that stood out. First of all the homemade shortbread that Alison provided was delicious and made us feel right at home. Also, the fireplace was set up for easy use and on our last day there we were freezing and soaked through. So to have a quick fire was delightful! Alison was always prompt in her responses and very helpful! Some of the best features are its walkability into town. I hadn’t realized how close it was to the town center and it was a lovely walk. The price for the listing versus what we received made this a steal! I would absolutely stay again and would recommend any of my friends and family to stay here when in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at The Old Byre. The surroundings are so peaceful it was the perfect location to relax. The home is just as described and clean throughout. We felt so at home. Alice was a lovely host and very accommodating. Her communication was incredible. If you’re lucky you’ll meet the most friendly little cat as well as being surrounded by beautiful birdsong, bleating sheep and cattle this really is a nature lovers dream. I’d have no hesitation in recommending The Old Byre (and indeed have!) and also would love to visit again. Thanks Alice for everything.

Teresa's place was perfect for a short break in Port Rush, the apartment was super clean and cosy for relaxing in. Teresa explained how to access the property with easy to understand instructions.

a comfortable place to stay, we really appreciated some of the thoughtful elements like toys for kids etc..as we took our toddler with us. Beautiful surroundings and easily commutable to popular tourist locations!
