Super good food, Alan and his wife were super friendly, super helpful, can't imagine anything nicer. The breakfast, supper, and packed lunch were delicious. The boat ride to and from island was special fun and educational. Stay here if you want a great island experience.

"A please to stay on Rathlin Island" Magnificent room at the top of a spiral staircase, about as high as you can get on the island, outside of the lighthouses. The breakfast was good for at least two meals and served so you can have a cuppa before taking a walk and then return to get fed and replenish before heading back to reality on the mainland after a wonderful stay on the island.

"Another fabulous visit" We have stayed at Arkell 3 times and it was fabulous each time. We have also stayed 3 times at Alan and Hilary’s home in Ballymoney - another great place. Alan & Hilary are superb hosts - they cannot do enough for you. Hilary even drove us to the bird sanctuary as the Puffin bus was not running whilst we were there. Hilary serves up the most delicious meals - so tasty. The hearty breakfasts cooked by both Alan and Hilary will set you up for the day - so much choice and all served beautifully. We would highly recommend staying at any of Alan & Hilary’s properties. Thank you so much
