Wonderful seaside stay

Our whole family had a great time in this fantastically well equipped house. We had everything we needed for our stay including all condiments, foil, cling film etc. Even the bbq was set up for us. Everything was beautifully clean We plan to return.

Amazing Place Lotsa Grace

Great location, pleasant people, beautiful! My husband (woah weird to say) and I booked this place for our family and friends to stay with us for a small destination wedding. The layout was perfect for this particular event as the master bedroom is on the opposite side of the property providing plenty of privacy while also allowing you to be with your loved ones. Kieth was attentive with any questions we had and was absolutely pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Home in Perfect Location

Port Tara house was more than expected. The home was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed. Perfectly accommodated our three generations of family. The location couldn’t be better for day tripping the entire north coast while also being so convenient to lovely town of Bushmills. Keith was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. Definitely considering going back!

Lovely Home

Really nice home with nice backyard. Stayed here with family. 8 adults and 2 children. It was perfect. Just a 5-6 minute walk to the beach and a nice hotel bar restaurant. We would definitely stay here again. The owner provided good communication. Needs- bigger pots in the kitchen! And this home could use some area rugs around the beds and hallways for comfort and noise control. Overall a wonderful holiday home!

An unbelievable rental in the North Coast of Northern Ireland.

This is one of the best rentals we have used to date for a large extended family group. The house is VERY spacious and the owners have included literally everything you could imagine for your stay. Very modern and immaculately clean bedroom and bathrooms. Parking in the front could easily take 5-6 cars. It was nice to have a main living room and a snug where the teenagers could have their own space whilst the adults relaxed in the main room. Only a few minutes walk to the seafront harbour area to view the sunsets in the evening. Highly recommend and we would all love to stay again.

family gathering

Port Tara offers beautifully furnished and spacious living areas.There was a selection of games etc and choice of sitting areas which works well for a familyThe kitchen has space to eat with another dining room in the bungalow. The well planned kitchen was well equipped with a huge range of crockery, cutlery, glassware and cookware. The appliances are brilliant. Everywhere is spotlessly clean.Comfortable bedrooms with excellent bath and shower rooms.The garden is spacious, private and secure with a brilliant gas and charcoal BBQ.Lots of parking space.The bungalow is only a few minutes from the beautiful sandy beach.We knew as soon as we opened the front door that Port Tara was going to be a wonderful place for us to stay. We definitely hope to return soon.A huge thankyou to Keith and Tara for thinking of everything to make Port Tara such a perfect place to stay.Valerie kirk
