Rathlin Island is a wild and beautiful place, only a short ferry trip from Ballycastle. It is steeped in history, myth and legend and is also a haven for wildlife. The bird sanctuary attracts visitors from all over the world, as an internationally important for breeding seabirds. It is also home to Northern Ireland's largest seabird colony, providing the ideal place for Puffins, Guillemots, Kittiwakes, Razorbills and Fulmars. Rathlin is also home to grey and common seals, which can often be seen in the water or basking on rocks around the shore.
There are a number of off-road walking trails across the island. It is also possible to hire bicyles on the island, or bring your own. The 'Puffin Buses' run regular trips to the Seabird Centre at the West Lighthouse from the harbour.
The Manor House and McQuaig's bar are both only a very short walk from the property, offering refreshments and meals. There is also a community shop close by, selling a small selection of groceries and other provisions.
