All around are superb views of the surrounding glen and on the top of the hill sight of The Mull of Kintyre, Rathlin Island and Sea of Moyle as well as the adjacent glens and valleys.can be enjoyed.

On the lower tracks guests can enjoy a more leisurely amble taking in the sounds of a wonderful natural environment and listen to the babbling of the River Dun making its way down the valley. Walking foot wear and outdoor gear is advised especially for the high slopes as the open moorland can be very wet..

We experienced a wonderful holiday here. We received a very warm welcome from the owner with some lovely refreshments provided for us on our arrival. The cottage is in a beautiful location with attractive views of the Glendun valley below and at this time of year, delightful air displays by swallows and swifts outside the dining room window. The cottage is spacious, with lovely rooms and a very well equipped kitchen. The peaceful rural location was nonetheless well-placed for access to the stunning Antrim coast, providing you have your own transport. We especially enjoyed the causeway coastal path from Dunseverick Castle to the Giants Causeway and a visit to Rathlin Island to see the bird sanctuary and seal colonies. A visit to the waterfalls at the beautiful Glenariff forest park is also very worthwhile. We would highly recommend a stay at Drumfaskey Cottage.

Great holiday
Fantastic cottage and so peaceful, nice to waken up in the morning to the sound of the sheep in the valley. Host was wonderful and very friendly. Fresh soda bread with jam as a welcoming was a lovely touch as from Northern Ireland originally. Had all the amenities that you need for a 2 week stay and plenty of walks plus a short drive away from the beach. My family and I enjoyed it so much we are returning in 2023 for another 2 weeks.
