Top notch hostel
We were a little dismayed when our Paddywagon tour had to change its overnight accommodation from Derry to Ballintoy, but once we checked in, there were no more complaints. The hostel is spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished, and with one of the best kitchens I've seen in a hostel. Rooms are up to six beds, with en-suites. Definitely worth a stay.

This is one of those places you never wanted to leave. Fantastic location. Nice, helpful and courteous staff, a well-equipped and clean kitchen. Wonderful landscape and nice places to hike. Carrick-a-Rede-Rope Bridge is just e few meters away, and silence... GREAT!!!

I'm French and I really can say that it's one of the best hostels I have ever been to. It's so nice...and the staff are so friendly! I thank Cara and her parents so much for our stay with all the international students the last year. That was one of the best moments of my life.

This place has a perfect location, comfy beds, and the owners, Seamus and Josephine, were wonderful. We stayed here in mid-May and nearly had the place to ourselves, and the kitchen is huge. It was the perfect halfway stop from Glenarm, and the coast from Ballintoy to the Causeway is spectacular on foot. Plus, the hostel is just down the road from Carrick-a-Rede, and the views are amazing!

This really was my favourite hostel. I stayed here while traveling around Ireland. The staff is nice and willing to help.
