Hosts Margaret and Bill were extremely accommodating and gracious. They served as fantastic guides to all the local activities, restaurants and tourist attractions. Margaret’s homemade Irish bread was incredible! Port hole Cottage was lovely, clean, conveniently located to everything we wanted to do and gave us a home away from home feeling. We highly recommend this beautiful cottage by the sea!

We loved our stay in this nice little cottage. Bill and Margaret are outstanding hosts and incredibly kind. Communication was great prior to arrival and during our stay. The cottage is quaint and was a perfect home base as we explored the coast of Northern Ireland!

This accommodation was a lovely two bedroom cottage in a quiet area close to White Park Bay. Scrupulously clean with everything a guest could need supplied. So warm and cosy and the owners were friendly and accommodating, happy to answer any questions and lived on the grounds. I stayed there with my dog and enjoyed the amenities close by, the beaches and the lovely walks. I will return and recommend this cottage without hesitation

A lovely stay in a lovely part of the world. The hosts were very nice and friendly. They gave clear instructions and directions. The house was nice and clean and warm, and the beds were comfortable. We were able to have a nice fire in the fireplace, which was really nice. The surrounding area was beautiful.
