This bungalow has three bedrooms one is en-suiteThe kitchen has a dish washer and there is a washing machine and tumble dryer.All Towels and Linen even face flannels are supplied.It also has a detached garage which was perfect for storing my Motorbike.It has a large front lawn and a large patioed back garden perfect for the barbeque.Not far from Coleraine and if you want the fun life Portrush and Portstewart is not far away.It is only a 10 minute wak to the Railway Station if you want to go by train to Belfast or Londonderry for a day without the hassle of finding a parking place in either place.From Coleraine you can catch the Causeway Ramble bus and get off and on as many times as you want.Owners Brian and Lesley are a nice couple and can not do enough |

We stayed her for a week in July ( best weather week of the summer!) . The house was fantaistic with everything you could possibly need inlcuding flakes, picnic basket and a lovely touch of a welcom pack of tea/coffee and some biscuits. Area was lovely and quiet and my daughter could play outside on her scooter when we weren't on the beach. Also great for my elderly mother who was with us being all on the flat and being able to drive the car onto the beach meant she was able to join us. Castlerock beach is brilliant ( and no charge unlike others nearby) , easy for a trip into Coleraine, Portrush and Portstewart for an ice-cream! We would hope to be back and would also like to visit in the winter to use the coal fire Found the owners to be lovely to deal with and very pleasant- thank you for allowing us to use your lovely home. |

I would highly recommend this property. Tastefully furnished throughout, the owners have taken great care to ensure that you have everything you need for a pleasant and relaxing holiday. There are many local attractions on offer. Castlerock has an excellent beach and a good golf course, both within walking distance. |
