The choice in Ballycastle is fairly small, at 13 places, so it helps to know what you want before you search. Budgets are wide. A simple stay for two is available at the low end, while a large house with a sauna and a hot tub sits at the top. Most places fall in between, with two bedrooms and room for four to six guests. If you are travelling as a couple, you will find several options. Larger groups have fewer places to pick from, so book early for those.

Ballycastle sits on the Antrim coast, and the stays here lean towards couples and small groups who want a hot tub and a bit of sea air. Most places are small to mid-sized, with an average capacity of about 5 or 6 guests, though one house sleeps 14 and suits a big family gathering or a group of friends.
Prices vary a great deal. The cheapest night is for two people and costs well under half of what the dearest places charge, and sea view or sauna places sit clearly above the rest. Around 7 in 10 places have a hot tub, about half have a log burner, and guest ratings are high, at about 9.4 out of 10. Few places accept dogs, so check that first if you are travelling with one. A week costs only a little more outside winter than in it, which makes the colder months a reasonable time to go.
A garden is the most common feature, at about 8 places in 10, followed by a hot tub at about 7 in 10. A log burner comes with just over half of the places, and a BBQ with fewer than half. Hot tub places cost about the same as the typical night in town, so a hot tub does not add much to the bill. Sauna and sea view places are a different matter, as they usually cost much more than the rest. Only about 15% of places take dogs, and high chairs are rare.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 10 | 77% | £239 |
| Hot tub | 9 | 69% | £241 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 7 | 54% | £234 |
| BBQ | 6 | 46% | £215 |
| Sauna | 4 | 31% | £386 |
| Sea view | 4 | 31% | £379 |
| High chair | 1 | 8% | £270 |
Moving up to a place for three or four lowers the cost per person a good deal, and a place for five or six lowers it again. If you are a group of four or more, a larger lodge is therefore better value than two separate small ones. Bedroom counts barely change between the middle and upper bands, with two bedrooms typical, so check the sleeping arrangements before you book.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 4 | 2 | £170 | £85 |
| Sleeps 3-4 | 3 | 2 | £215 | £54 |
| Sleeps 5-6 | 3 | 2 | £270 | £45 |
Prices stay close to the usual level through November, December and January. They then rise in February and climb again in March and April, when they are noticeably dearer than in early winter. Availability follows the same pattern, in reverse. November is the busiest month in the calendar shown, with the fewest free nights, while spring has far more free dates. If you want the lowest prices and can be flexible, the early winter months are the best fit. For a spring break, expect to pay more.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £234 | 70% |
| December 2026 | £235 | 81% |
| January 2027 | £238 | 89% |
| February 2027 | £253 | 90% |
| March 2027 | £266 | 92% |
| April 2027 | £266 | 95% |
Several nearby towns offer other options. Portrush has the largest choice, with 14 places, while Bushmills has 8 and Ballymena 7. Coleraine has the lowest starting price, and Bushmills is also cheap at the entry level. Ballymoney is the dearest of the group to start with. Glenariff is a smaller choice of 6 places, and it suits anyone who wants to be inland rather than on the coast. Any of these towns can work as a base for a trip along the north Antrim coast.
Slightly. A week in winter usually costs a little less than a week outside winter. Nightly prices stay close to the usual level from November to January, then rise from February onwards.
