    Lovely house, cozily furnished and so comfortable, with fantastic views of the beach from the picture window in the living room. Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne is practically across the street, and we loved having such easy access to its beautiful grounds and well maintained walking paths. The house is just a few miles from some of the most spectacular stops on the Causeway Coastal Route (Dunluce Castle, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge), and we had a great time exploring the area and its many wonders. There are a couple of good dining options in Castlerock (the Meatbox makes amazing burgers), and plenty of options nearby for grocery shopping if you prefer to prepare your own meals. A wonderful experience overall, would be happy to stop here again. Highly recommended.

    Good location for visits to sites along the North East Coast - Giant’s Causeway, Rathlin Island, Bushmills Distillery and locations associated with Game of Thrones programme. Castlerock is a lovely small village close to beach. Coleraine is only a few miles, away with all the facilities of a large town. Would recommend a train ride to Derry/Londonderry from Castlerock. Eileen the housekeeper was wonderful with lots of advice on ‘what to do’ in the area. Great holiday.

    (24th to 27th April 2023) Eileen, our host, was extremely helpful and accommodating to any request we had. The house was spotless and had a terrific view and was bright and airy. The heating system was easy to work and the kitchen had modern equipment and everything you needed. Eileen provided a welcome pack which was a lovely touch. The furniture and decor were of high quality and very appropriate to the location. Our dog, Shadow, settled in well and it was great to have the enclosed garden at the back. All in all, a lovely holiday house/apartment in a great location overlooking Castlerock beach. We would have no problem in recommending Seaview to anyone. Arlene Haslett
