Mason's Cottage - a little bit special!

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 166 reviews3 weeks ago

Ideally situated with main road networks very close by. However, the property was located in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. It well suited our needs providing us with the relaxation we sought for a short break away from the mundane. The barn has been beautifully and lovingly restored making it a quirky holiday home. It felt home from home with all needs catered for. Judith was very communicative online without being intrusive. It was a pleasure to meet Barry, having a chat with him and meeting Cooper the dog and being introduced to Bill and Ben the lawnmower men 🤣 (robot mowers). The names tickled us!🤣 Thanks both for a very relaxing and peaceful stay.

Wildthorn Cottage

5 out of 5 average rating, 93 reviews3 days ago

Delightful property right in the heart of the Mourne Mountains. A private, cosy, peaceful hideaway that has been tastefully restored and decorated by the hosts. The cottage has everything you need for a short break and the hot tub is the icing on the cake. Ideally located for anyone with an interest in walking in the mountains and also close to the coast - just along a quiet country road but easy enough to get to the local town and amenities. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived - appreciated the Easter touches and the chocolate eggs and Prosecco too! If you’re looking for relaxation this is the perfect place.

Slemish Farm Cottage 4* NITB Approved

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 132 reviews1 week ago

MAGNIFICENT!!! Look no further as this is an incredible find. Truly above and beyond expectations. We had an amazing stay at Slemish Farm Cottage and couldn't believe our luck. Paula was a fantastic host who really goes that extra mile to make everything perfect for her guests. We arrived to breath taking views and immaculate accommodation. Beautifully presented treats and fresh strawberries....delicious. Very comfortable beds, great showers and exceptionally clean throughout. Views to the surrounding area were stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. We hired a car so we had the best of both worlds. Giant's Causeway was epic and Ballintoy was stunning with it's blue-green seas. Belfast was vibrant and welcoming. Such a friendly place to visit and we will certainly be returning to Ireland forevermore! Thank you so much Paula and Rodney for the most memorable stay. The Macintyre family.
