These cottages live up to their description! They are NEW and they are LUXURIOUS. Every room is very tastefully decorated, all the amenities are modern, and the furnishings are of high quality. Our group of 3 adults, 2 children, and 1 infant found Cottage #3 to be a perfect size for our weeklong holiday. The downstairs master suite is quite spacious, even with the travel-cot set up for the baby.
The location along the North Antrim Coast is ideal; there is so much to see and do in this area. We never had to drive far with our kids to find fun, low-cost activities (the Causeway, coastal walks, and castles were their favorites), and we enjoyed great days out, every day of our holiday. During the evenings after each day of sightseeing, we enjoyed family-times together in our comfortable cottage. In the closets we found toys and books which entertained the kids, and on the shelves we found DVDs and books which the whole family enjoyed. Also, the 100-acre wood is so lovely, we could have spent our week just exploring on-site!
The owners/managers Susan and Georgene are simply the best. Before our travels they responded quickly to all our phone, text, and email inquiries, giving us confidence that we had chosen the right accommodation for our family trip. Immediately upon our arrival, their welcome made us feel at ease and at home. In addition to the excellent cottage furnishings, Susan and Georgene stocked the cottage & kitchen with a few extras that they knew would make our first days there even more care-free. We have had pleasant stays at other self-catering cottages before, but St. Columbs is definitely the finest and best-stocked of the holiday homes we've known.
We were lucky to be the first to book for the busy season in July when we wanted to travel. We did enough research to find that, even during this high season, St Columbs is amazingly comparable pricewise to other 3-bedroom options in Northern Ireland. But we definitely received more than an excellent value for our money; Susan and Georgene give attention to the details, going above the call of duty, to ensure that their renters receive first-class customer service. I'm glad we did not hesitate to book our holiday with St. Columbs; this is now our first choice for a Northern Ireland getaway. Thank you, Susan and Georgene!
