    The accommodation was lovely and clean and very homely with all of the amenities you need. Close walk to a lovely pub and the town was so nice.

  • "The upper room’s looked amazing but unfortunately the bedroom upstairs was far too small with no storage facilities other than 2 very small drawers so we had to live out of a suitcase for a week there was no window and you could only get into the bed from one side which was a nightmare, the kitchen although lovely to look at I couldn’t reach into the cupboards as they were so far back hence creating its own problems, on the plus side the massage chair was absolutely fantastic."

  • "Spent a wonderful Christmas vacation in Ballymena."

    It was a great idea cause everything was shut down and was able to visit some friends in the process. The accommodation is by far one of my favorite spots and to top it off the massage chair was my best friend that week. The owner is lovely and has done a fantastic jobs decorating the space. Thanks again!

    The property is excellent and Ballymena is a good centre to explore Northern Ireland from. I'd recommend the place to anyone, with lots of good places to eat within walking distance
