Ballylagan Organic Farm

What a great experience. The farm is beautiful. We stayed in the apartment above the farm store. It was perfect for us - kitchen, bedroom, living room. The beds are both very comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful. Close to antrum causeway which is mainly why we stayed there!

This is not a review of the guest accommodation (as I’ve never stayed) but a review of the shop. I’ve been going every week for quite a few years now and should have said these things before now. 1/ Nothing is overpriced. Meat and veg that come from the farm itself are of exceptional quality and they could get more money for it - but they don’t. 2/ Ballylagan bacon and Coppa are the best you will find anywhere in the world. 3/ I regularly make my own bread with organic flour but still can’t beat Ballylagan sourdough 4/ Ballylagan rib-eye steaks are of a quality that you will never find anywhere else. (All their beef is, but rib-eyes are special. I can’t eat supermarket meat any more because once I got used to organically raised, grass-fed, the rest just tastes grainy.) 5/ The staff are great! The most knowledgable about food and the helpful that you’ll ever find.

Excellent stay. Beautifully clean, tastefully furnished, very quiet except for the crows(!) just a beautiful place to unwind. Could have done with some opaque film on the bottom of the bathroom window, although not really overlooked, Shame they don’t offer a cooked breakfast, but apart from that, it’s perfection!

Staying at Ballylagan gives you the best of both worlds! You can enjoy the pleasant Antrim countryside and also enjoy vibrant Belfast. Only 25 mins by bus from Ballynure to the City Centre. Patricia and Tom are very hospitable hosts and provided plenty of useful information. I arrived by public transport and they were happy to drive me to local train station (Mossley West - trains from there to North coast and Derry) and to local bus stop (Ballynure - bus to Europa bus station in Belfast centre) The room was very comfortable

We stayed at a very nice room upstairs on the 1st floor with a view of the garden. Room and bathroom were spacious and spotless clean. It was a very quiet and nice place to stay. Thanks Patricia for your hospitality.
