We had a great stay at Crockatinny cottages, brilliant location, amazing views of Rathlin and the countryside, clean, spacious, well equipped kitchen, lovely outdoor area and was perfect for my family and our 2 dogs. Roisin was super helpful and very welcoming. Bonus was the 2 friendly horses beside us! Will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing stay! This place is even more beautiful and cozy than the photos show. Everything felt so peaceful and inviting — truly the perfect getaway. Our host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and friendly. We loved every minute and can’t recommend this place highly enough!

We spent three days in Cuckoo's Nest Cottage in early September. Unfortunately on arrival at about half an hour after earliest arrival time the property was still being prepared for our arrival and we had to wait in the car for quite a while. Once in, the cottage was clean and tidy and we were shown how to regulate the heating. However, it was soon discovered that the fridge was not working. But give due credit to Roisin she managed to arrange the arrival of another fridge within the hour. The dishwasher was also found to be un-reliable, sometimes worked sometimes didn't. The cottage was generally comfortable, good beds and comfortable settee etc. It is well located if you want a bit of peace and quiet and it had good views from the sitting room. We enjoyed out stay at the cottage but our general impression was that it was tired and needed a bit of tender loving care.

Hello Christopher. Normally I don’t reply to reviews but I must take exception to this. The fridge was working, the new housekeeper had turned it off during the clean. It took an hour to chill again. I did go to the bother of getting a replacement. when you arrived you had to wait for ten mins until the check in time of 4pm as I was still doing secondary checks of the clean. I knew this would be a problematic stay from the get go — people need to bear in mind that they are staying in a small business, for less per person per night than you would stay in a hostel. Three adults for 90£ per night after commission is mid range accommodation. I am humble, clean, pet-friendly accommodation - this is my niche - if you require five star luxury you really do need to reassess your travel budget.

This house was the ideal size for our group of 5 adults. The location is also perfect for seeing most of the key sights in Northern Ireland, including Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, the Rope Bridge, Bushmill’s Distillery and more. The house had enough space for all of us to not be on top of each other. The owner was great to communicate with. We have been to this area several times and will definitely stay here again.

Alles perfekt sauber, check in und Kommunikation mit der netten Vermieterin problenlos. Super Aussicht und ruhig.Perfekter Ort um die Northcoast zu erkunden. Gemütlicher Kamin und schöne Terasse die wir aber im Oktober nicht nutzen Konten. Die Betten sind zwar bequem aber für zwei Erwachsene zu klein. Sehr hundefreundlich. Alles rollstuhlgerecht

About the host

Host profile image
Hello, I’m Roisin (Rosheen). Ordinarily you will be left to your own devices and all set up for your arrival — however I will be available if requested!

What makes this property unique

My cottage is in a rural area, quiet and private with spectacular views of Knocklayd Mountain and Fairhead and the Scottish Isles in the far distance. The only noise and disturbance will be from wildlife and animals. I am pet-friendly and dog guests are very welcome to walk the bog-ground during non-grazing times of the year.
