Our 4 night stay at Crayfish cottage was wonderful. The communication with the owners was fast and efficient. Check in was easy. The cottage was exactly as shown in the photos and description provided. The upstairs area was charming and cozy. Perfect for our daughters. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you needed to make a quick meal. Loved the two refrigerators, one with a freezer. The location was an easy drive to all the attractions. The off street parking was nice too, and the larger SUV we ended up renting did just fit through the gate. A great place to stay and would highly recommend.

Great homely base to visit the north of Northern Ireland

A beautifully well kept and spacious property, 5 of us, across 3 generations (including 2 teenagers) found the property welcoming and the location excellent. The description and photos are accurate, the host is great with communication and there is loads to see and do in the area and further afield. Would definitely stay here again.

Quaint and quirky, cute and comfortable. Lovely unusual touches in the decor. Not suitable for older or disabled clientelle as narrow steps to upstairs and steps into sunken garden. The garden was secluded and stocked with a wide variety of plants. We had lovely weather, but had no lounging chairs for outdoors. Spotless well-apppointed kitchen but no instructions on how to use appliances. Welcome basket was stocked with nice goodies. Comfortable lounge, but could do with a large footstool and instructions for TV use - especially terrestrial TV. Nice to have access to Netflix, Prime and free wifi. Great location for access to local towns and landmarks.

Excellent Cottage

The cottage is very well equipped and very clean and tidy. It is cosy and the beds are very comfortable. Portrush is within easy walking distance and we travelled around easily from the location. The garden is a bonus but unfortunately, the weather was not really for sitting out in.

Amazing Cottage - Great location

On a quiet street about 10-13 minutes walk from the town centre lies this gem of a cottage. We were three couples and it was perfect. Clean and comfortable with all the amenities, it was a perfect spot to walk into town to the beach, golf course and great pubs (Harbour Bar!). Nicci was a great host and was very easy to communicate with. This is an amazing place and we will be spreading the word!

Wonderful property

We had a wonderful visit at Cray Cottage! The 1920’s era property is has been beautifully modernized for the 21st century. It is in a great location, close to everything in and around Portrush. Close to White Rocks Beach and convenient to Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, the Dark Hedges, and so many other great destinations along the amazing Antrim coast of Northern Ireland. Nicci, the owner, was super to work with. The house had everything needed for a memorable vacation. Would definitely return.

Crayfish Cottage. What a great place.

Arrived later than planned but Nicci, the owner, was there to meet us. What a great reception, we were really made to feel at home. Nicci showed us around the cottage and ensured that we knew where everything was and that all was in order. The cottage was fantastic. It is well decorated, clean, and felt just like being at home. Beds are extremely comfortable and clean. Very well situated for touring around the area. We were all very happy and will definately book up again on our next holiday. Well done Nicci for such a great place.

With guests as lovely as yourselves, it makes what we do a real pleasure! We are so glad you had fun on the North Coast and enjoyed your stay. Crayfish Cottage retains many original art-deco features blended with modern, comfortable touches. We've put a lot of thought into the design and decoration and it was so rewarding to hear how much you noticed and appreciated. Stay in touch and come back soon!

everything you need for family vacation

Crayfish cottage was the perfect repose for our family vacation. The cottage was immaculate, with plenty of space for 2 teenagers and 2 adults. It was on a nice street that was within walking distance of several restaurants and a grocery store, plus it had a washer and dryer which is always great to have on vacation. Nicci even provided milk and a yummy loaf of bread. The backyard garden was a nice little sanctuary for a picnic and there were many attractions in the local vicinity including Giant's Causeway, Dunluce castle, Bushmills distillery, etc. We all loved our time there.
