Patrick
There is so much space for a family group of varying ages. The house is so warm and inviting, the underfloor heating was amazing during the recent cold snap. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. Four bathrooms are fantastic with a family group, showers have excellent water pressure. The surrounding countryside is amazing for exploring. Bushmills setting is in itself , tranquil. The morning birdsong is delightful. There are excellent eating out options within 10-15 minutes drive of the house. We had a fantastic week and cannot wait to come back.
