Bluebell cottage was clean and tidy and very well equipped. The cottages are situated in their own little complex surrounded by beautiful scenery. The interior was well designed, and one of the bedrooms had access to the rear garden. There was ample parking for two vehicles. It was very close to the Causeway Coastal route making it very easy to see the sights. All in all we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this property.

The cottage is very nice and welcoming, and the owner was really responsive per message. The check in process was great and clear, and everything was clean.There was no wifi, but it was indicated on the housing description. We tried to clean a couple clothes but could not make the washing machine work.Anyway, both of us 100% recommend this housing!

Great spot for our trip to see the Giants Causeway

This was a nice little cottage minutes from the beach, Bushmills, and the Giants Causeway. The place was clean and well equipped. Our only complaint was that the beds were very uncomfortable.

Peace and quiet.

A delightful 2 bed cottage set in a cul de sac of about 10 other similar properties. Inside was fresh and welcoming, good decor and spotless throughout. It was easy to get to and reasonably central to Bushmills/ Portrush and the Antrim Coast area. The host is a pleasant person to speak to and more than helpful. My wife and I enjoyed our stay of 7 days and are looking forward to another visit hopefully in warmer weather. Cecil Anderson.

A very comfortable stay

My family enjoyed our stay immensely at the cottages. The rooms were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and it was nicely decorated. The binder that contained many tourist brochures was very useful for our stay. The view out of the porch was stunning, including the very friendly cows who came to the fence to visit. The property was amazing! Linda was prompt with her replies and made things easy. It made for an excellent basecamp while we explored the Causeway Coast!

Relaxed and recharged

Bluebell cottage is a great getaway to relax and recharge. The views over the countryside and out to sea are marvellous. Loved having breakfast on the balcony. The cottage lacks nothing except blackout curtains so bring an eye mask if you want to wake later than the sun. (Yes I was lucky and got sun and blue sky!). Highly recommend if you want a good value break away in a terrific location. Thank you to our great host Linda.

In the bush, Bushmills

Cleanliness below standard, dish cleaner and rack dirty. Lounge stained. Property was too cluttered with ornaments and personal items. The property setup was more like a holiday home than a professional short stay rental.

Peaceful retreat .

Lovely cosy cottage in the countryside close to award winning Garden Centre which serves good food. All you require for a short break was available, small balcony overlooking countryside would be nice to use in warmer weather. Beds were comfortable with clean bed linens and towels etc provided. Lovely cottage for relaxing. Must add the host Linda was very pleasant to deal with. Albert.
