If your idea of a good vacation means being by the water, visit Sheep Island. Whatever you choose to do here, you're unlikely to get bored of those pretty views.

If you're going to Sheep Island in Ballycastle, leave time to check out other places too. After you've covered off this water-surrounded land mass, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge is nearby and will keep you on the move for a while longer.

The property itself was great & for a reasonable price. The fact that there was street parking was a plus. The neighborhood itself was dirty & had a lot of graffiti. There is nothing the property owners can do about the neighborhood however.

Lovely hotel, excellent room, brilliant location, friendly and helpful staff. Evening meal in Drawing Room restaurant was good. Breakfast was okay, if a little costly, and we were very disappointed (given we were in Ireland) to find that there was no proper Irish soda bread/farls available as part of the breakfast offering.
