Great location, nice walks in the area, and close to a lot of attractions. Liked the sun room above for sunsets. It could have been cleaned better. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet and sand in one of the beds. All in all I would recommend it to anyone

Turlough and Lisa were wonderful hosts of their cozy cottage in a lovely spot. The fire kept us warm on those chilly nights, and we were able to stay dry and catch up on reading in the lovely sun house. It is perfectly situated to enjoy beach walks, tour the many sights nearby, and get out on the water for boat tours. Thank you for sharing your family cottage with us! Hope to see you soon!

We loved our stay ar Ballintoy Harbour. The cottage is very cosy and well equipped - the outstanding feature is a fabulous sunroom in the garden with amazing views. We spent wonderful long evenings there or on the beaches right outside the front door. Absolutely perfect.

We enjoyed a wonderful 5 night stay at this special place. This place wouldn’t be for everyone - it is not designer luxury accommodations, nor does it purport to be, but we loved it. Excellent location that was handy to all of the attractions along the Antrim Coast. We had sunny days, suitable for splashing in the sea out the front door, and stormy days when we enjoyed staying in by the fire (supplies provided) looking out at the roiling waves crashing onto the rocks. Charmingly comfortable, with extensive fenced yard in back that would be great for dogs or kids (we had neither). Washer and dryer in back shed were rudimentary, but they worked. The kitchen is small, but functional- a new cooker was delivered during our stay. Do note that the kitchen was bare bones. Washing up liquid was supplied, but no paper towels, no salt and pepper, no condiments or basics, so if you are planning on cooking, plan accordingly and bring along or stock up locally. Private parking is provided next to the cottage, and the winding road down to the Harbour is fine as long as you take it slowly and are prepared to possibly meet a car coming in the opposite direction. This was a unique and special place to stay. We will remember it fondly and would love to return some day.

Beautiful surroundings on the seafront. Not a huge issue but on vrbo it seems like you are renting the whole cottage instead of one side. The neighbor initially didn’t act like he knew where our place was. It could use a new couch and the chairs in the glass house also sink in. We loved sitting in the glass house in the evenings! The grounds could use a little cleaning but overall a wonderful place❤️. I would advise people they must have a car and cannot rely on taxis due to the location ❤️

Cute and cozy little cottage in a dream location. The sea, beach, and harbour are right outside the front door as are wonderful walks to other beaches. There is also a great garden and sun lunge to relax in. Ballintoy harbour is so close to many of Northern Irelands fabulous attractions and the sea is so incredibly clean and clear. We absolutely loved our week here and will definately be returning. Will come armed with a supply of cat treats next time for the 3 cats that live on the harbour and visit the cottage to sleep in the shed, they are well fed and cared for by locals and visitors alike ❤️
