Liked: Peacefulness Surroundings The waterfalls and walks on the site Being in nature Facilities were very clean Helpfulness of the owners Convenient to access the North Atlantic coast including The Giants Causeway. Proximity of Ballycastle which is a nice town
Disliked: The farm is in the process of changing from an activity centre and whilst the owners are upfront about that some of the areas look a bit sad

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Open space, Great Views, Fantastic Walks. Quiet area, picnic tables, big pitch area. You can loan a firepit and logs and have a campfire beside your tent. Games for children. Hot showers and clean toilets. Easy check in, no wifi but good 4G/5G. Just look for your name on the board to get your pitch number :)
Disliked: Wished the toilets were closer to the campsite but can't be helped.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nice quiet farm with easy self check in. Pitches where very well spread out. Lovely location! My two year old loved the animals and the park! Facilities where clean and staff where friendly.
Disliked: Little bit run down, could be excellent if the Childrens park, go carts and mini golf where done up a bit, but the farm does have great potential!!
