Guests say
Sea Breeze in Ballycastle is highly praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, en-suite bedrooms, and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. While there is mention of a vibrant local event and some maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.
The majority of guests report the apartment as spotless and clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. One review mentioned a musty smell, but this seems to be an isolated comment.
The location is described as ideal, with easy access to the coast, local shops, and eateries. However, one review cited a local fair causing noise and access issues, slightly impacting the score.
Guests rave about the comfortable beds, generous room sizes, and the relaxing atmosphere of the apartment, indicating a high level of comfort throughout their stay.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the kitchen and en-suites. Some maintenance issues like a broken freezer door and a non-functioning shower thermostat were noted, affecting the score.
The welcome basket was a highlight for guests, showcasing the owner's thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is a pleasant bonus rather than a standard expectation.

Thank you for assisting us so quickly on our door entry challenge night one and fixing the hot water. Probably both were American 'User errors' on our part but it was wonderful you were so accessible to help us.

Good location, 10 mins walk from the beach front. Recommend the Marine Hotel for Sunday lunch. Ballycastle has a range of local shops including 2 butchers & a bakery/cafe. The pubs we visited were good for drinks & occasional live music. Seabreeze was ideal for family and/or friends. Feels recently renovated with nicely fitted kitchen & ensuite bathrooms to all bedrooms with electric showers. Personally we think the fridge was on the small side, which was 2 couples but this is a minor issue. Good easy parking was appreciated. Ideal location for exploring the beautiful Causeway coast. We really enjoyed our stat here.
