Our dwelling was spotless, comfortable and really well equipped. We were welcomed by our host who explained everything and was only next door should we have needed her. We had no problems at all and had an excellent holiday - especially grateful for the information about which station to get the train into Belfast from.I hope we left everything in order and look forward to returning to Northern Island one day.

The property was clean spacious and modern.We met both hosts, friendly and gave us space to come and go. The private courtyard was lovely but sadly the weather was terrible! We weren’t on holiday as we live 4 miles away. Our house had a plumber in for the week to change our bathroom.

This is a beautifully appointed clean home situated close to the heart of Belfast. This accommodation is very comfortable with everything needed to enjoy our vacation.

Quiet haven

The property was in a quiet cul de sac but accessible to Belfast (we walked to the railway station) and the Ards Peninsula. The cottage was well equipped. Would highly recommend.

Peaceful and relaxing

Owner’s right there and very responsive, wish I could have stayed longer. Beach a little of a walk but a delightful area with many residents and puppy dogs to see and talk with. Highly recommend but having a car is probably necessary. Loved it and the owners
