  • "The property was spotlessly clean with high quality furnishings and many appliances and utensils."

    Heating and hot water was available any time we wished to use it. It was such a luxury to have so many en-suites and televisions music and Wi-Fi throughout the property. The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome. At one stage the electricity went off briefly due to bad local weather and he immediately checked to see how we were. We really enjoyed our time in SJs Cottage and would definitely recommend it to others interested in visiting the North Coast at any time. Many thanks. We had a wonderful time and we felt very comfortable in this lovely house.

  • "Overall we had a very nice time staying at the cottage, which was new and had new fittings throughout."

    It was a very clean and owner was helpful. If we returned to the area then we’d definitely look to stay again. It’s worth noting that there’s no garden as such and the only place to eat is the high breakfast bar, as shown in the pictures.

  • "Fantastic place to stay and great location for days out."

    The house is absolutely stunning and have to say the pictures do not do it justice. The owner of the property could not have been more helpful. Would recommend his place to anyone and look forward to going back in the future

If you'd prefer to stay on hand, visit the 18-hole course at Castlerock Golf Club before indulging in a light lunch with a spectacular seaside view at The Surf Shack.

Whilst you're in the area, be sure to tour the National Trust site of the Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne, where you can take a step back in time with a tour of the 18th century temple, peruse the sheltered gardens or soak in the sights along the cliff-top walks.

Jump in the car and head to the town of Coleraine and indulge in a spot of retail therapy at the Diamond Shopping Centre, challenge the little ones to a game of 10-pin bowling or mini golf at The Jet Centre, or catch the train to Ballymoney or Cullybackey.

Whatever the occasion, choose Ballyrocket Lodge as your base for your next group retreat to Northern Ireland.
