“Dolphin Cottage captures the raw beauty of the North Coast with a cosy, lived-in charm. Its position is undeniably its strength, mere steps from Ballintoy Harbour and coastal paths, while the enclosed garden and well-equipped interiors make it a genuine haven for both two- and four-legged guests.”
