Perfect for a large family!!
Good spacious bungalow. Having a large family we find it difficult getting a property large enough. This was perfect. It was clean and tidy. On the main road and handy to the shop.

Delightful spacious bungalow in lovely area - ideal for touring in Antrim
This was a warm spacious and well-equipped bungalow which we all felt was very homely, and suited the three of us family members very well. It provided us with a wonderful base from which to visit both the North Antrim coast and tourist attractions in Belfast. We were blessed with such lovely weather too. Owners next door ensured we had everything we needed, and helped with a couple of queries too. We had a wonderful time there. Thank you.

Excellent Accommodation
The property was perfect. Very spacious, great for a family of 5 and 2 dogs. Property was very clean and it had everything in it. We had a lovely, relaxing time there. Landlords were living close by, so very easy to communicate with them. The area was lovely, but I think having a car makes it much easier to get around.
