We loved talking with the owners who gave us great insight into the north of Ireland! It was the best part of our stay! The room, lounge areas, breakfast and parking were all good, though we didn’t realize house is in the middle of a more suburban block. Town is cute and not far away and location of the house worked out on our way back from visiting the Causeway (which we visited late in the evening - highly recommended in summer). Sending our best wishes to the owners!

Friendly and welcoming hosts who go the extra mile. Lovely accommodation which was very clean and comfortable. Parking was more than adequate and close to the front door. Breakfast was amazing…. So many options to choose from. I enjoyed overnight oats with yogurt and fresh berries followed by smoked salmon and scrambled eggs one morning and a full Irish the next day…both exceeded expectation and set us up for the day.

Beautiful property (rooms, breakfast area). Staff were very pleasant and attentive. Breakfast was delicious. A small bit of construction was going on that I’m sure will be complete shortly (stayed April 2025). Only real comment is the bed was described as king size but was more queen size (which could be a North America vs Europe thing).

We had to leave early in the morning before breakfast was being served and the host went out of her way to ensure we still had something to eat and was kind enough to leave us orange juice and a yogurt parfait in the fridge before we left. She was exceptionally nice and the neighborhood was quiet. Dining options are within walking distance as well.

Just beautiful and felt brand new. The Proprietor Sharon was unbelievably helpful as I’d gotten to the country without my prescriptions. She made calls on my behalf, allowed me to keep her mobile awaiting a return call, ultimately connected me with a local service that helped me. She was amazing. Several Nice pubs within walking distance. House made breakfast was also fantastic. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again for sure. Thank you for everything!
