"Alken Cabin is in a perfect location for visiting the Causeway Coast with sites of interest such as the Giants Causeway within less than 15 minutes drive."
The cottage was clean, the bed was comfortable and the views were wonderful. We were lucky enough to have excellent weather, so even in early October we had breakfast and evening meal on the decking enjoying the peace and the views.
On the rare occasion that we switched the heating on, the cabin warmed up very quickly.
Our only constructive feedback is that a potato masher would be useful, and a deeper fitted sheet on the bed, but besides those two very minor points, it was absolutely perfect and we highly recommend.

"This cabin is lovely, perfect for a short stay, ideal location for the North Coast attractions."
The extra touches make all the difference. The seats on the veranda were a lovely addition. Views over the countryside are peaceful. Kitchen is equipped enough for light cooking. Everything we needed. Easy to find and plenty of space for parking beside the cabin. Beautiful gardens.
Would love to stay again if/when we visit that area.

"The cabin is beautiful and spotlessly clean."
My only concern was that the mattress in the master bedroom is pretty worn out.

"Our first visit to Northern Ireland and what a wonderful week we had!"
The cabin was in a perfect location for all of our adventures along the north coast and further afield. It was cosy and relaxed,well positioned in a lovely garden and driveway that was safe for our children to play in. We found it had ample room for us as a family of 4 and amenities well thought through including dads and magazines for children, adult fiction books and leaflets/books of local areas, plenty hooks for coats, bags, towels etc, hangers, hair dryer, extra blankets. Could perhaps do with an updated full dinner set (there was only 1 side plate for example, and mis match of cups and mugs) Mostly very clean eg floors kitchen bathroom surfaces, but could do with a deeper clean behind and under furniture.
Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very pleased with our choice of accommodation.

"Lovely place and very well situated for the causeway coast, the beds were very comfortable and the views stunning!"
like others have said not much room for more than 3 to eat at the table but this wasn’t a huge problem for us. The only negative was that there weren’t enough glasses and side plates for everyone to have at a meal time but this wasn’t huge and could easily be rectified. All in all a fabulous week and we would definately return.

"The cabin is great and the views from the veranda are amazing it’s a shame you can’t see them from the cabin except when washing up."
The kitchen is well equipped for 1/2 people but you might struggle with 3/4 due to lack of large pans. There is no microwave which was a pain for me no easy meals after getting back late. The shower was great but I found the main bedroom very darks and the mattress uncomfortable (soft and lumpy). The lounge was a good size but I’m not sure 4 could eat easily around the table. Wi-Fi and TV very good but the sofa seats were hard and uncomfortable and you could feel the wood base in areas. Would I stay here again no because of the bed, sofa and microwave but the site is lovely and well kept and in a great location so I would try the caravan next time as it has a microwave.

"We had a glorious week staying in Alken Cabin, so well placed for exploring the beautiful Causeway Coast of Co Antrim."
The Cabin is very comfortable with excellent WiFi and cosy beds, and a lovely patio out the front where you can eat, relax and enjoy the sunsets. The kitchen facilities were adequate, although be aware there is no microwave or washing machine. Bushmills is less than a ten-minute drive away and has several 7/11 style shops where you can buy anything you’d need for catering.

"A superb holiday location."
Excellent, clean accommodation with lovely outside space. Well equipped with everything we needed. The only slight issues were that it was a bit cold on the first night and there were no additional blankets and the top bunk mattress wasn't very comfortable. However we had a superb time and will be recommending Alken Cabin to friends.
