  • "Great place to spend our week while visiting family in N."

    Ireland. Property met or exceeded our expectations in just about every way. As did Bushmills as a thriving small town. Thanks for the welcome - both pre and on arrival.

    Hi Roy Thanks so much for the positive feedback. So glad you enjoyed this up and coming area. The north coast is so rugged and beautiful. Karen, Nicky caretaker and Kelly cleaner. Property Owner

  • "The door knob on the inside of the downstairs toilet door isn’t attached … so it comes off in your hand … or falls off onto your foot (it’s heavy)."

    I slept in the single bed. I would say that the mattress needs to be replaced. If you sit on the edge of the bed that part of the mattress collapses (with an accompanying squeaking noise). The mattress has hard/lumpy sections that aren’t very comfortable. Some more bigger mugs would be good. Other than that, everything was fine. Nicky was very helpful.

    Thank you for your comments Debbie. Yes, it seems one of the screws on the door handle has came out. New mattresses have been ordered and will be in place for the new season. Nicky is a local, knows the area well and is indeed very friendly and helpful. Regards Karen Property Owner

    Great of exploring the local coast and area

    Hi, thanks for your comments. The whole downstairs was painted in the spring, however a guest left the shower running in the ensuite which caused damage to the ceiling. The house will be closed January 2025 for repainting and maintenance. Thank you Regards Karen Property Owner

  • "It was one of the nicest holiday lets we have had, but as we have 2 youngsters in their 20’s it would have been nice to know that there was no wifi upstairs."

    The house was well maintained and very clean & the position was perfect. Thankyou to all concerned.

    Thank you Rosemary for your kind review. I usually let guests know that the WiFi doesn’t work upstairs due to concrete floors . Apologies I must have forgotten to mention this to you prior to check in. Property Owner

  • "One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in, very well equipped and comfortable."

    Unusually everything worked as it should with the exception perhaps that Wi-Fi only occasionally reaches upstairs. Very well located for visiting the Antrim coastal attractions.

    Reverend Inall thank you for your feedback. The upstairs floors are concrete hence the internet signal issue upstairs. Regards Karen Property Owner

  • "The location of the accommodation was ideal for exploring the Causeway Coast of Northern Ireland."

    Transport links from nearby Coleraine made it easy to venture further afield to Belfast and Londonderry without the stress of driving. It was a very clean, spacious, modern and well appointed property with all the facilities required while on holiday. We did not have a problem with it being on a busy road as we were used to the buzz of traffic where we live. The bonus to us was the ease of access to the coast and surrounding area.

    Appreciate the positive feedback and good to hear that you enjoyed the area. Regards Karen Property Owner

  • "The cottage was amazing, spotlessly clean, well thought-out, comfortable and a good size for a group of 4 adults and was in a great location, easy short walk into Bushmills, and great for exploring the coast."

    If I was being picky it could do with some hooks in the main bathroom for towels, and the knives were not very sharp, but these are minor points, in all we had a fabulous stay and would happily recommend to others.

    Thank you Claire for your feedback, I will indeed look about putting hooks on the bathroom door. Glad you enjoyed the wonderful North coast. Regards Karen Property Owner

  • "Very little toilet roll provided and , given how many people fly to NI, a few toiletries would be a nice touch."

    Otherwise very clean and spacious. Both showers are very very hard to switch on (anyone with eg arthritis simply would not be able to) and don't always switch off fully without dripping - visitors' book suggests this is a long running issue which needs addressing. The ventilation in the en suite is not great either.

    Thank you for your comments. Toilet roll is always left in this self catering property to help guests get started on their holiday. The showers are plumbed in from the boiler and are not electric so need a little more effort to pull on and off. If showers are dripping this is a clear sign that they are not off. This is always explained to guests prior to arrival by the owner and again visually by Nikki the caretaker in the house. Nikki is available to assist and help with all queries whilst guests are staying in the holiday home. She is very friendly, helpful and pleasant. Thank you for your business, we give all comments consideration where possible . Regards Owner Karen Property Owner

    When we contacted the owner prior to our stay she could not have been more friendly and helpful. Nikki who was there to greet us was equally as pleasant and she continued to help us with any queries during our stay. The cottage was well located, very clean, warm, well equipped and comfortable. We were especially grateful for the comfortable beds as, sadly, we were both ill for over a week and spent a lot of time in bed!

    It was a pleasure to walk into the house when we arrived, it was very well presented, with a clean, bright and open living space. It had everything we needed, allowing us to self cater as well as eat out. The bedrooms were comfortable and provided us with ample storage. Parking was easy. The house was within short driving distances to many local attractions, the drives were beautiful. It is also a short walking distance into the town of Bushmills. The host of the house and her contact given to us during our stay, could not have been more helpful, both were thoughtful and gave us useful tips as to places to visit.
