  Wonderful property, just what we needed for our party for our daughter's wedding!

  She stayed with us and left from there on the wedding morning looking gorgeous! One bathroom between 6 was sometimes challenging but we knew each other well enough that used the ensuite bathroom as second one for anyone. Gas BBQ worked a treat. Though we had no times for games, a comment in guest book alerted us to the amazing boardgames, etc. in the table in the living room - maybe highlight that much more clearly for future guests? Both toilets just occasionally continued flushing for a long time; I lifted lid of cistern of one and managed to do something (not sure what!) to stop it happening. One pint glass broken but able to let owner know - disposed of it in domestic waste wheelie bin. The recycling bag not quite able to hold all the recycling we generated. We chose the property as my husband is disabled and the access to the large ensuite bedroom via the French windows was fantastic. There is a tiny step into the ensuite bathroom and 2 steps up to the kitchen but with help he was fine. Otherwise, the downstairs is on one level, with wide doors and passageways. From the listing's wording, it wasn't too clear which bedrooms upstairs and downstairs had option of twin beds. Local 24-hour garage 2 minutes away had a very useful shop. All in all, a marvellous place to stay, have left us with happy memories, thank you! Would highly recommend it.

  Overall this is a great place to stay!

  - Very well kept, clean and very cosy in the winter (underfloor heating helps!). The owner is also really friendly and great to deal with. As much as I don't want to complain about anything, I think there are a few things that could be done to make this the best place we've stayed in and somewhere we would come back to EVERY YEAR! My friends and I go cycling in Wales every year. We are a group of (mature) guys, either 4 or 5 strong. The places we return to have a games room (which Bushmills has, HOWEVER IT STATES ON THE ADVERT THAT THERE IS A POOL TABLE AND THERE IS NOT ONE! - Which was actually disappointing given its one of the reasons we picked it), somewhere to store bikes (again covered), has a decent TV and Sky for the evenings (Bushmills does not have) and decent internet, as there or 4 or 5 of us trying to get on line when we are in the house (something Bushmills really lacks). Whilst I understand that some rural places don't have great internet, we find plenty of places in the local area that do, so it doesn't feel like that should be the reason Bushmills lacks. Its that bad I would even suggest either removing "WiFi" from the advert, or at least explain to people that it is next to useless. (dial up speed only).

  The house was perfect for a multi-generation gathering for a family wedding held locally.

  Plenty of bathrooms meant that there was no queueing on the day of the wedding! The kitchen was superbly equipped for feeding all of us on Friday night and for putting on a brunch on the Sunday for those staying, plus extra family members staying locally. The location and view from the property was superb. Narrow country lanes did not phase us at all. SatNav was brilliant for getting us to and from locations; however, we never came back the same way twice! We met Lindsey as we were departing and she was most friendly and chatty. I would have no hesitation in recommending the property for larger gatherings. The open plan living/dining/kitchen was brilliant for allowing us to socialise freely (it helped that the weather was kind and we could utilise the patio too). The photos do not do it justice, as the furniture has been changed since they were taken and it has a more modern feel downstairs now.

  We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! Beautifully presented, well equipped and finished to an exceptional standard, it has everything you need for a perfect stay. The house is spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing plenty of room for our group of 6 and 2 dogs. The secure, enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs, and just across the road, The Crowne Inn offered delicious food in a welcoming setting. The location is fantastic, with easy access to Holkham beach and a lovely field next to the Village Hall where we could let our dogs run off-lead. Being next to the road meant some occasional traffic noise, but this did not take away from the overall enjoyment of our stay. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, making it feel like a true home away from home. We had a wonderful Christmas stay and would not hesitate to book again!

  We were a very mixed family, 2 Adults over 65.

  1 Family of 2 Adults with 1 16 yr old and 1 5yr old, 2 Adults with a 4yr old, but Bushmills was a great pick for all of us. There was everything you needed for a perfect holiday. The added extras (Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk and Biscuits) were very much appreciated. Also the fact that there were dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, pan scrub, dishcloth and tea towels made our stay easier. The games room was well equipped and well used. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bushmills to other families for a wonderful family holiday. Thank you for your hospitality and thoughtfulness. We would like to return one day.
