We had a wonderful 2 night stay at this stunning Landmark. The JP Sloop house was extremely clean, quaint, and welcoming. The views of the grounds are absolutely breathtaking. It was exciting walking the grounds and taking pictures, there was so much to see. I recommend going outside at night and watching the Lighthouse light, just amazing! The house was stocked with everything you need to cook for yourselves (just bring the food!) and plenty of comfortable linens and towels. The hosts were wonderful and answered any and all questions we had. Knowing that the money we paid for our stay wi...more
The location is amazing. The cottage is amazing. The lighthouse that brights in the night is one of the most spectacular scene we have ever seen: try it and remember my words. (Ita) Location e cottage davvero fantastici. Il faro, di notte, regala una luce che ha dell'incredibile, magnifica. Provate e ricordate queste parole.
Blackhead Lighthouse is a spectacular location with stunning views and refreshing walks. The accommodation is clean and practical. In keeping with the lifestyle of days gone by. It’s hard to keep paintwork fresh so close to the sea but perhaps a fresh coat of white paint would enhance the property. No complaints , we had a wonderful stay.
Blackhead Cutter was the perfect, peaceful retreat for a couple of nights. It is in a stunning location, with amazing clifftop views. House was cosy with the log fire, the kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were comfy. The House Manager, Pam, was excellent in her communication and care of the property. We really enjoyed the cliff/cave walk she suggested. Loved Whitehead and Islandmagee. We would love to stay again.
I loved the narrow drive up to the house and then ending at the edge of a cliff. There was a special connection with the sea, the way it took over the windows. Being able to observe the lighthouse sending a beam at night was also special. On top of that I loved how the house has different levels and the rooms were very spacious. It was a very comfortable stay with the large dining table where we sat for hours and then the sitting room full of couches and a lovely fire. The beds were so comfy and the house was warm. Also good value for money. Would love to visit again.
This recent trip was my third stay at this property. I always try to snag it during the Northwest 200. The location is a perfect jumping off point for several attractions on the Causeway Coast and makes getting to Portrush for the races very convenient. It's location in Bushmills makes it easy to walk to the local Co-Op or the Spar for a take-away dinner in the evening or to load up on needed essentials for a day out. The views of the river are pleasing and for every visit I've had, the same heron seems to be still hanging around. Linda is the perfect host - available to help with most si...more
We stayed at Drum with our two dogs across a rainy weekend in January and had a great time. Drum is so warm and cosy with the underfloor heating and the stove in the sitting room - it was made for a lovely cosy retreat. Even with the bad weather we were able to get to Mussenden Temple and Giant's Causeway (which are both dog friendly!) We had great meals at Bushmills Inn and Harry's Shack and got lovely takeaway pastries and bread from Ursa Minor. Alan, the House Manager, has the Drum in perfect shape and the dogs loved the dog treats and we appreciated the extra dog towels which helped with t...more
Unique place. Stay in your own mini-castle! Good clear booking process and joining instructions. Glenarm is a lovely village. Eat at Morans and walk/run in Glenarm Forest (well marked hilly loop). Glenarm castle garden is stunning. Lots of spiral steps so not suitable for people with mobility difficulties and tricky with large suitcases. The double bed is comfortable but it has a top and a bottom so not suitable if you’re six feet two. Overall, unforgettable.
Loved the beautiful curved door as we entered this heritage home! We were really looking forward to staying in a unique country home, but were disappointed when we arrived as it looking very neglected and unclean from the outside. It was near a gorgeous treed area and private country road, but the sign to stay out of the area due to hunting was also a disappointment. We were met by a lovely woman who was kind and informative.
Our housekeeper, Alison, was there to meet us on our arrival on Friday afternoon and gave us a quick tour of our cosy cottage, it was a cold day and the fire was blazing. The accommodation was spotless and had every amenity we required for cooking, etc. The garden and surrounding fields and laneway were covered with beautiful snowdrops. We brought our dog Rosie on this trip and she too was well spoilt. Thanks Alison
