Vacation rentals near Ballyholme Beach

Absolutely beautiful property! From the amazing Edwardian home (tall tall ceilings, lovely windows looking out over the water, wainscoting, gracious doors, renovated kitchen and bathrooms) to the stunning location: all A plus! Did I mention the fresh baked loaf of bread, butter, jam, milk and eggs all waiting for us? So thoughtful! Only issue was we couldn’t figure out the combo/lock system as our phones hadn’t switched to the UK eSIM so we missed that info email. But! We pressed the doorbell (probably way too many times lol) and the owner spoke to us via the bell, walked down to show us in and around the house! Loved our stay, would def book again!

Orchard Cottage is a living museum with beautiful gardens and renovated farm buildings, executed with artistic flair and masterful confidence. Plus neighbourly cows at the back fence. Perfect for some retreat time and yet close to many attractions, especially for nature lovers and historical explorers.

Spacious accommodation, secluded, very quiet. Perfect spot to get away from it all .

There are really no words to describe the splendour of this gorgeous property. Everything was truly just PERFECT! The town is wonderful…the property manager was easily reached when we had one or two questions and everything was simply amazing. We have posted many pictures on social media but can’t post TOO many or we’ll never be able to book again!!! We have rented many many properties in the whole of Ireland & this was simply THE BEST!!! We’ll be back but would need a monthly rate!

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is well situated with a great view of the lough. Maxine was a very helpful host and followed up after we had settled in.

We enjoyed our wonderful visit. It was clean, bright and lovely. It was also in a safe neighbourhood. It was an easy commute to the train. Communication with Ivan was fantastic. We will be back!

Maxine is a wonderful host. She is so helpful and friendly. The place is very close to transit (bus/train) and walking distance to grocery stores, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. Being able to wake up to the view of the water was probably my favourite thing. It was a great place relax and recharge. The bedroom had blackout curtains which made a big difference. The people are so friendly and it felt very safe, especially travelling on my own. On Thursdays there is a small farmers market in the parking lot close by. My favourite was a local company (Krazi Baker) who bakes fresh bread but they run out very quick so you need to go early. Overall it was exactly the vacation I needed!
