Lovely seaside spot

We had a lovely stay in this converted boat house. It’s a great spot for exploring both Belfast and the Antrim coast. Be sure to bring a swimsuit, lots of people swim right in front of the unit!
Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024

Thank you for taking the time to review, yes as you are a metre from the sea at high tide a swimming costume is a good plan!
