Can't recommend enough!
My husband and I stayed here on a roadtrip throughout Northern Ireland. It was such a wonderful stay. The place is in a gorgeous location and the proprietors are the sweetest, most accommodating folks. We hope to come back some day!

Absolutely amazing B&B with lovely family who made us so welcome . Wonderful choice of breakfast cooked to our taste , plentiful and piping hot . They went out of their way to make sure our stay was memorable and delighted to recommend this great accommodation to anyone . Please note we stayed in the big house and not the one shown in picture just because of the quieter time of year but it was beautiful and super cosy

A special, homely and comfortable stay.
Our stay was amazing! A beautiful house, spotlessly clean and the family who work and live there are literally, like family to you. Our room was perfect, the beds were very comfortable and the shower was brilliant! The views all around the house are spectacular! We felt very welcome and will definitely be back.

This was a lovely jewel of a place, perched on the top of a rise with a beautiful view of hills and fields and grazing sheep. It was spotless, super comfortable, and the hosts were so kind. Delicious breakfast in a lovely sunny dining room. The only drawback was its isolation—not too many restaurants in the nearby village, and the best restaurant, Harry’s, was inexplicably closed the night I went to eat there.

Home away from home!
We did get confused with the address as this photo is the property opposite (they have two B&Bs) but this is the most amazing B&B we have ever stayed in. The owner's looked after us so well and we would have stayed there longer if time permitted. The family room (separate room for the kids) was perfect and the breakfast was the most amazing breakfast we've had. Perfectly cooked and we felt so spoilt. Would love the recipe for the home made wheaten bread. 11 out of 10

Amazing find, Get folks
What an amazing find. The owners were very friendly, and she is a great cook and baker. The location is quite picturesque with the fields and the shoreline. Well-appointed room and comfortable. The owner gave a recommendation for a restaurant in town and we it was fantastic, we then got another recommendation for Johnny Joes pub across the street and listened to traditional music and of course drank

NOT IN BALLYMENA - DON'T BE FOOLED
We booked this in the belief it would be in Ballymena, which is nice and central within Northern Ireland. As it turns out, it's in Cushendall, which is on the north-east coast of Northern Ireland, which must be a good 20 miles away. Dishonesty of the highest order, a total rip-off, would not recommend at all.

Hi Matthew I’m sorry to see you were dissatisfied with your stay at Garron View. I would also advise that our address is perfectly correct but you have misunderstood the format 1st Street = Cloughs Road 2nd Town = Cushendall 3rd District = Ballymena I hope this will ensure that you don’t continue to undermark other properties when you had just incorrectly understood the address

Hidden gem of a B&B in Cushendal
This house oozes welcome and friendliness. Josie is not only a wonderful host but a beautiful warm and caring individual. The rooms were lovely. The beds were comfy and the bathroom had everything one could want.Tea and coffee and biscuits were provided in the rooms and a flat screen TV with numerous channels. The decor was pretty. Breakfast was a feast of just about everything. Josie daughter Kerrie is just a darling and so beautiful. We will be back at this place very soon and we hope to become regulars there. Thanks to Josie and Family for all your care From Rena and pals
