Ballymena has a small but varied choice. Three of the places are one-bedroom lodges for two, usually at the same nightly price. The rest are family-sized, with three or four bedrooms and room for six to eight guests. Most cost a little more or less than the typical night, but one seven-guest house with a hot tub is far dearer than the others. If you are travelling as a couple, the choice is wider than it first looks. Larger groups have fewer options, so book early for them.

Ballymena sits in County Antrim, inland from the coast, and the lodges here suit small groups and couples who want a base with a private garden rather than a resort. Most of the places have a hot tub, about 71% of them, and the guest rating is high at around 9.5 out of 10.
Prices stay fairly level here. A night is usually around the same from November through to March, with a small rise in April. A week in winter costs almost the same as a week outside winter, so the season matters less than in many coastal areas. Sizes vary: several places sleep two, a few take six, and the largest takes 8. Log burners appear in about 43% of places, and fewer than a third accept pets, so dog owners should check before choosing. One larger hot tub house sits well above the rest on price.
A garden is the most common feature, found at six of the seven places. Hot tubs come next at five, then barbecues at four, and log burners or fireplaces at three. Places with a log burner are typically a little dearer than those with a hot tub alone, which makes the hot tub the cheaper way to get a warm evening outdoors. Fishing and a high chair each appear only once, so families with a baby or anglers have very little choice and should check details before booking.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 6 | 86% | £160 |
| Hot tub | 5 | 71% | £160 |
| BBQ | 4 | 57% | £160 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 3 | 43% | £180 |
| Fishing | 1 | 14% | £160 |
| High chair | 1 | 14% | £153 |
Sleeps 2 is the only size band with enough places to compare, and it covers three one-bedroom lodges. All three have a hot tub, so for a couple the choice comes down to location and availability rather than price. Groups of four to eight have to look at the larger houses, where the nightly cost ranges widely depending on size and extras.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 3 | 1 | £160 | £80 |
Nightly prices barely move across the winter. November is slightly cheaper, and December to March sit at the same usual level. April is a little dearer, which is the first sign of spring demand. Availability tells its own story: November has the fewest free dates, while January has the most open, so January is the easiest month to book at short notice. February and March also have plenty of free nights.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £154 | 46% |
| December 2026 | £160 | 57% |
| January 2027 | £160 | 87% |
| February 2027 | £160 | 70% |
| March 2027 | £160 | 78% |
| April 2027 | £170 | 77% |

January has the most open dates at the moment, followed by March and April. November has the fewest. Prices in these months stay close together, so availability is the bigger difference.
