Seaview Cottage on the Island
We had a beautiful stay at Seaview Cottage. Niall was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. The attention to detail and little touches made us feel so welcome along with the friendly host and unbelievable views made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. We highly recommend staying at Niall and Janeen’s cottage, thank you both very much for having us!

Tracey’s Farmhouse Cottage
Second time at Tracey’s place. Lovely cottage in a beautiful spot. Excellent hosts.

Quirky Barn & BBQ area - Events & Gatherings
Our stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of magical. The artistic decor and thoughtful touches made it more than just a house—it was an experience. The man cave with its bar, the expansive outdoor space with a hot tub, a tent, and the versatile sports area offered endless enjoyment. The kids loved playing with the friendly dogs, and the host felt like an old friend, adding warmth to our stay. Truly unforgettable.

Old Stone Cottage
Lovely long weekend stay in Joanna’s cottage - super cosy, beautiful surroundings. Lots of outdoor space for the kids to play, and great that it was dog friendly too. Joanna was a great host - clear communication & quick replies.

Charming Period Cottage, Strangford Lough, Co Down
Our third visit. We love it more every time we come. A very special cottage with lots of space for family both inside and in the extensive gardens and walks around the island. The views over Strangford Lough from the cottage and garden is so serene. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it all.

Old world charm on the Ards Penninsula
Margaret is an amazing host - very responsive, friendly and helpful. Her cottage is simply perfect for both long and short stay. It is very spacious, well equipped and, more importantly, it is very nice and feels like home.

Stone cottage
What a delightful cottage. It had everything we needed + more. Great shower, comfy bed. After travelling for a few days we appreciated that there was a washing machine, and a dryer also if we needed it.Suzanne made us feel very welcome and left bread, milk, butter, coffee, tea and lots of other food items which we could use if we wanted. Her communication was great. The village is gorgeous and has a good selection of restaurants. We went into Belfast one day, catching the train from Bangor to avoid the stress of driving in a city we didn’t know.

The Lookout, Ballyhalbert- cottage with sea views
The house was beautiful and exactly how it looked in the pictures. The view is so fabulous, changing with the tides and daylight. Great garden area as well for my doggy. The town itself is very quiet with only a shop and a chip van - which is currently closed on weekends. We were able to pivot and cook a decent meal in the house though instead, then go to a nearby town the next evening for food. Really chilled place to stay as a base for seeing around the rest of the area. And always a bonus when you can bring your four-legged friends 👍🐾

An art and garden lover's hideaway
This is simply a delightful place to stay: peaceful, beautiful and with a rare spiritual dimension in that so much of Mike's personality, passions and enthusiasms infuse everything within and without. We felt totally at home and left feeling refreshed and restored in a way seldom experienced before. Indeed, we felt we were departing from a friend.

Quaint Irish Cottage
Fantastic host, went out of his way to make our stay perfect… The cottage and surroundings is perfect for a relaxing time away… Will deffo be back again 😁 Thank you very much Martin and wife

The Stables - Luxury Cottage with Hot Tub
We really enjoyed our stay at Stabble. Owner lives next door & the careful attention to our request from Martina & Dill made this stay even more enjoyable. On our arrival fresh milk in fridge and scones with butter and jam awaited us. House was cosy : warm, comfortable sitting room and scrupulously clean bedrooms and bathrooms. And happiness for us and kids: completely private hot tub in the backyard. We chose this exclusively for Hot Tub and really enjoyed relaxing in it, which was included in price... If Hot Tub is not your choice, you may find cheaper options too. But again, only 15 mins drive from City makes it a best choice probably for those who want to stay in a peaceful setting yet close enough to City. Thanks to Martina & Dill.

The Gate House Ardkeen,
The most relaxing stay we have had. Hidden away from the hustle of the town, this was just bliss for a peaceful getaway

Quaint “Lilac Tree Cottage” Greyabbey
This was a really smooth airbnb experience - Janet was very good at communicating, everything was pristine when we arrived and there were lots of little things extra that really showed Janet has put alot of effort into making the experience top class. As the weather was not so good on one of the days we spent most of it in the hot tub !! - this is a great option and perfect for when we arrived also. The location is perfect for trips around the lough and we all had a great time. Thanks to Janet for making it very cosy and amenable.

Quoile Cottage - self-contained character cottage
Beautiful cottage in gorgeous surroundings. So close to the Quoile river walk and very handy for getting into Downpatrick and to other sights of interest. The cottage has everything you need and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again 😁
