It was home from home & nothing was too much bother.

Breakfast was very good & plenty of it. Location was perfect as it is easy access to all the popular attractions of the North Coast, Belfast & beyond!

I honestly cannot fault anything about BallyCairn. Johnny & Dee made me feel very welcome & always went the extra mile with everything.

Everything was excellent, from the friendly greeting from our wonderful hosts John and Dee and the rhubarb tart and cream on arrival, the comfortable spacious accommodation to the fantastic breakfast, also John and Dee's helpful ideas and guidance on trips out to get the best out of our stay.

Going home.

Each aspect exceeded our expectations, the house and gardens are stunning with amazing views. Johnny and Dee were exceptional hosts, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. We would highly recommend staying at BallyCairn House and we can’t wait to return ☺️

Northern Irish perfection, charm and welcome. Couldn’t ask for more.

10.0

We absolutely loved everything about this property. Johnny met us outside the property and was so welcoming. This BnB was everything we were hoping to find over here in Ireland. He took our luggage upstairs to our room and showed us around the cottage. The whole place was so homely with so many nice personal touches and photographs throughout. We had so lovely chats with him and his wife Dee and wished we could have stayed a lot longer

Everything was perfect. The home cooked breakfast was some of the best I have had. Absolutely delicious. Johnny also got up very early on our first morning to make our breakfast as we had and early start in Belfast for a tour. This place is in a beautiful corner of Larne surrounded by green farmland and magnificent views. This is such a hidden gem.
