We were so very pleased with our two nights here. It was exactly as described. Olive graded us so warmly and we enjoyed a pot of tea and her fresh baked cake-while overlooking one of the most beautiful views. There was a smell of fresh baked bread as we arrived, which we enjoyed the next morning along with her delicious scones. And everything was incredibly clean with fresh towels the next morning, even though I told her we didn’t need them! Keep in mind-for high maintenance travelers-these wonderful cottages don’t have HUGE rooms for massive amounts of luggage. We don’t travel like that, but I know some do. I read someone’s comment about their room being small. We had absolutely NO complaints. We completely enjoyed our conversation with Olive and her sweet husband over breakfast. And the town is absolutely delightful. Olive directed us to a place to wash our clothes which was an outside laundromat-we even enjoyed that experience!

Cozy and welcoming

Cullentra House was a lovely stop along our Irish road trip. We arrived late in the evening and Olive welcomed us warmly, and served a delicious and beautiful breakfast in the morning. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large. Quick but great stay!

The draw of Cullentra in Cushendall

We recently had the pleasure of spending an overnight in Cullentra in Cushendall as part of a birthday treat. Not only was the location a wonderful setting with mountains, sea and countryside surrounding us, the warmth and hospitality shown to us from our hosts Olive and James, really set the tone for our stay. Even adding special little touches like a box of chocolates for my birthday and a pot of tea with home made cake, on our late arrival. The next morning, the wide selection of breakfast choices was welcome and showcased Olive’s culinary skills (delicious). We even came away with extra wheaten bread and scones when we left. The guest house was very clean, inviting. with an atmosphere of warmth, friendliness and laughter. Thank you to our fantastic hosts, Olive and James, for providing a lovely experience. Happy to recommend to friends and family. Thanks again, Lori & Ian
Highly recommended

Excellent Accommodation, Spotless, Comfortable.

My husband and I stayed for two nights. We had the most amazing time. The house itself was in a beautiful location with amazing views over the Glens of Antrim and the coast. The room was spacious, spotless with the most comfortable bed. Breakfast was extra special with a varied menu and generous helpings. The proprietors were charming, welcoming and very informative about the area. It’s no wonder they have won awards. We loved our time in Cullentra House.

Great view and pleasant staff. We enjoyed full breakfast in the morning for a small fee. Overall, it helped us with getting a place to rest on a long tiring road trip around the north of Ireland. We have learned that B&B set up is just not for us after all. The furniture and bedding were somewhat outdated. Towels could get an upgrade as well.

Easy to find and parking was easy too however it would likely be hard to stay here without a car or arranging transportation. Everything was wonderful!
