The minute we pulled into this little country retreat, I knew it would be a perfect location for our family to relax after a long day of site seeing. Gladys made our stay a home away from home. She was an excellent host!

What a fantastic place in such an amazing area. Slemish View was the perfect headquarters for us to explore Northern Ireland, my friend and I were able to hit most of the areas we wanted to by staying here. Gladys was great with communication and giving us great directions, I wish I would have been able to meet her but were out so late exploring every day we never got the chance. Place was great, super clean and very accommodating; it was clear Gladys was trying to be the best possible host she could be, and she succeeded. I would stay here again for sure.
A beautiful property, everything you could need for a perfect stay, generous welcome pack on arrival, Super clean and views to die for. Location perfect for sightseeing Antrim and surrounding areas. Super hosts Robert and Gladys I had a problem with car, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for your hospitality. Angela and Michelle.

Angela and Michelle were lovely guests - friendly and thoughtful. They left my place spotless and I would be happy to host them again anytime. I can highly recommend them.
We travelled with a family of four (two adults and two teenagers) and enjoyed a very nice house which provided everything we needed, including a welcoming package containing milk, butter and jam and a variety of porridges and bread for the first day.
The house is clean and really comfortable. Whenever you need anything, Gladys doesn't get tired of answering questions and making you comfortable, fulfilling even special wishes like fresh milk from the farm nextdoor.
The place is very quiet and a good starting point for trips to the coast.
Absolutely recommendable.

Thankyou for your lovely review. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Slemish View
Alles wie in der Beschreibung, mit dem Auto kommt man gut nach Belfast und an die Nordküste. In Ballymena gibt es Restaurants und ggf. einen Bahnhof. W-LAN stabil, sehr schöner Aufenthalt.

What a lovely, clean & comfortable 2 bedroom. Exactly as advertised, but they forgot to play up the beautiful country setting! Complete with cows walking down the driveway most mornings. Thank you Gladys for all your wonderful suggestions for our touring days, all the suggestions were spot on!
Absolutely lovely stay! House was perfect, Gladys was very welcoming and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Gladys Simpson
I have been a host since 2017. I love meeting new people from all over the world and offer them a 'home' from 'home'. I also love to travel and have been to the Great Barrier Reef, the Rocky Mountains in Canada and also the Grand Canyon. Another pastime is walking, especially along our north coast here in NI and you can see some of these places in my photographs of Slemish View.
Why they chose this property
Slemish View is a home from home with beautiful countryside views all around. The living room has recently been refurbished with new flooring and rug, two new settees - one is a sofa bed giving more choice for larger families
What makes this property unique
The beautiful village of Broughshane which was crowned the "UK's Village of the Year 2018" is only 5 miles away from Slemish View. They have also won numerous awards for their vibrant floral displays which can be found decorating every corner, especially in spring and summer. There is a beautiful river walk at The Buttermilk Bridge Path, play area and a water fowl and pet animal enclosure. A great day out for kids and its all free!!! Lots of coffee shops, restaurants and even an ice cream parlour. Slemish Mountain lies just outside the village and is a popular spot among hikers. The mountain also served as a Game of Thrones filming location. The village and surrounding area are well worth a visit.
