We loved the cultural and historical significance of the cottage and the decor was stunning. We loved the hot tub out the back, it was private and peaceful. The hosts were very helpful and the parking was so handy. We ordered an Indian Takeout and it didn't take long to arrive at all. We hadn't even finished our stay and were already talking about coming back. Its such a perfect getaway to be in nature. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5cd25fb1-cf57-4bba-8d70-ab67968995d5-1759069486874.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3feffcfd-0b81-46c8-a91a-1f1d89df5129-1759069487849.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15cc2e61-01ee-45ae-b1db-1fcd22170a96-1759069539319.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katelyn Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication By far the best place we have stayed while in Northern Ireland.
