Fantastic cottage and great location

The photos do not do the property justice, absolutely wonderful cottage and location. The hosts left a welcome pack of fruit, bread, milk, orange juice and biscuits which was very thoughtful. Easy to communicate with and had a wonderful stay. The location is 20 mins from the awesome Causeway Coast and we had a great time.

Great character and location to explore the Antrim Coast.

This 1850’s Coachman’s Cottage on the Stranocum Hall property was a wonderful mix of history and modern. The hosts have added a lot of wonderful extras to make your stay enjoyable! Great spot to have access to all aspects of the Antrim Coast. You are 20 mins from everything! We would highly recommend this property and the amazing hosts!

Loved the countryside

Very modern and quaint place in the Irish countryside. Host was very nice and accommodating. Nice and quiet, convenient to all attractions and towns. We love the hospitality of the Irish. The fridge and counter tops had some very nice essentials that you don’t get in other countries we visited. Beautiful area! I would book again in a minute.

Beautiful cottage in Ballymoney

A perfect location for exploring all that Northern Ireland has to offer. The property was beyond what we expected and was equipped with everything we needed to make us feel at home and comfortable. Our host, Eileen, greeted us upon our arrival and made sure that the fridge and pantry were filled with all we needed for our breakfasts. A place to return to when we are again in Ireland.

Comfort plus!

We immediately felt at home! The hosts contacted us well in advance of our stay. They asked us for our preferences in regard to milk, coffee and other provisions. Location was convenient to many venues, but secluded enough to be a wonderful haven from hustle and bustle of city life. Highly recommend!

If I could give this VRBO a million stars I would

I cannot even put into words how warm and welcoming this VRBO felt. The guest house was beautifully crafted and put together. It didn’t seem like a cheap renovation at all. They put a lot of money and thought into the finishes of this home. Everything was so cozy and comfortable. I don’t think I’ve had a better experience staying at a VRBO.

Perfect Location in Antrim

We selected The Coachman's Cottage as our home away from home while we explored the attractions of County Antrim and we were not disappointed. The property is well located for visits to the usual attractions like the Causeway and Bushmills. It is also handy to the walking trails of the Glens of Antrim and especially The Dark Hedges! Everything was as promised in the detailed listing and accompanying photographs. We felt right at home during our stay. Thank you Eileen.

We were delighted to welcome David and his party to our cottage. We love to have guests from afar so that the beauty of our North Antrim coast can be experienced across the world. We were so pleased as well that David left the cottage absolutely spotless. We would gladly have David back.

Immaculate house in a beautiful setting

The word I would use as an overall for this property is amazing. Eileen was a brilliant host, she greeted us on our arrival and then left us to our holiday. Before arriving I did message her about certain things and she was very quick to respond. This was true when I messaged her whilst at the property with a question. The house is stunning, extremely well kept and clean. The in laws that stayed with us are clean freaks and they were over the moon. Eileen had stocked the shelves with the necessities such as coffee & tea plus bought us our milk of choice. The house is in a beautiful setting with lots of farm animals around. The journey up the long drive was a daily pleasure seeing the cows. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to be near the north coast, so many great stops only up the road.

It was a pleasure hosting Jonathan and his family. They were the most clean and tidy guests; it was a pleasure going into the cottage after they left and it is so great to have guests who have respected the cottage and looked after it so well. Even though it rained constantly during the week, Jonathan and his family seemed to have the spirit of adventure - welcome back any time.

A really excellent stay

We chose this property for its location for exploring the Antrim area and because it stood out as a historic building presented to modern standards. The cottage was very impressive and the owners went to great efforts to make us and our young daughter comfortable during our stay. The cottage is both modern and comfortable, particularly with the wood burner running. It was the perfect stay for us, so we will certainly be recommending to friends and family, and hope to make a return visit some day.
