Heating not acceptable , winter in NI and couldn't leave on all day or for longer than 1 hour. Very disappointed with Irish hospitality / lack of it .
Aileen
Great location for exploring the surrounding area. Ballintoy, Giants Causeway etc. Had a great holiday and loved the location. Facilities in the cottage were great for the four of us. Kitchen had everything we needed too. My only issue were with the beds. I slept in the largest room and I think the mattress has seen better days. Very uncomfortable and glad to get home for a good nights sleep. Apart from that it was brilliant. Thank you so much.
