Siobhan is an enthusiastic host who made me feel at home, right away. Later in the evening she was more than happy to escort a group of us to a music session at the local pub. Whether its a bus schedule or directions to the new chipper; she is knowledgeable and eager to help. The owner is just as wonderful -- very generous.The beach is just two doors down the street. And from the front yard, you can see Fair Head, the 600 foot cliffs that overlook the sea. I found the hostel to be clean and well kept. I think the place is a bargain.

Not just the best hostel in Antrim but one of the best in Ireland. I have stayed there on several occasions and its warmth and friendliness keep me coming back for more.Ballycastle is a great town with a very vibrant traditional music and pub scene.Its also great to stay it if you are going to visit Rathlin Ireland as the ferry leaves from the town.Ballycastle is on the main buses routes and its very close to the rope bridge and giants causeway.Go and stay there you will have an amazing time :-)
