As the evening draws to a close, retire to one of the two idyllic bedrooms, comprising of a twin bedroom and a king-size double bedroom, benefitting from it very own en-suite shower room. Spend a moment or two outside within the beautifully-kept enclosed rear garden, where you will find an elevated sitting area with spectacular sea views during a clear summer’s day.

They went above and beyond to help us during our stay. The cottage is charming, and the location is perfect. Beautiful views of Rathlin Island and the Mull of Kintyre.

Loved this cottage which offered stunning views. Kitchen was well stocked and Eleanor's presentation of an arrival food hamper was the most generous we've ever received anywhere. Still missing her home made bread and marmalade. Plenty of space for all. Local community were very friendly and the Cottage is in an ideal position to take in the stunning Antrim coast. For me accommodation plays in central role in holiday satisfaction, and Woodleigh Cottage delivers.

Couldn't fault the facilities,comfort levels and location. The luxury hamper was a lovely touch and was matched by the comfortable beds and furnishings. We've been to many cottages and we couldn't fault this cottage at all. Thankyou. Stephanie
