Cottage holiday rentals in Antrim and Newtownabbey

We had a beautiful stay at Seaview Cottage. Niall was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. The attention to detail and little touches made us feel so welcome along with the friendly host and unbelievable views made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. We highly recommend staying at Niall and Janeen’s cottage, thank you both very much for having us!

This is simply a delightful place to stay: peaceful, beautiful and with a rare spiritual dimension in that so much of Mike's personality, passions and enthusiasms infuse everything within and without. We felt totally at home and left feeling refreshed and restored in a way seldom experienced before. Indeed, we felt we were departing from a friend.

Elsie’s Cottage is a nice and relaxing place to stay. Check in was very easy and seamless. Yvonne gave us all of the information we needed and even communicated everything we needed to know prior to our arrival. The hot tub is a great addition!

Fantastic host, went out of his way to make our stay perfect… The cottage and surroundings is perfect for a relaxing time away… Will deffo be back again 😁 Thank you very much Martin and wife

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

The most relaxing stay we have had. Hidden away from the hustle of the town, this was just bliss for a peaceful getaway

Had a great stay at Lilac Cottage, we were staying there as our son’s wedding was at Orangetree House, lovely cosy sitting room, well stocked kitchen and the cottage was spotless. Unfortunately we didn’t get the full benefit as it would be a great location for anyone to explore the Ards peninsula and across to Strangford and Mourne Country and come back to relax in the garden. Janet had also left us some ‘goodies’ and even Pooh bags for the dog! Apologies I took her for a walk and still have them 🙈 would 100% recommend and all being well will use again

Great wee place! The game room and hot tub are really nice add ons.

It was a very nice place with a great central location for travelling to various points of interest, making our trip much more enjoyable. The cottage was well appointed, with as described facilities, so there were no bathroom queues in the morning! Heating was easy to use, with intuitive controls (there was a fire too, but we were out most of the day, so decided to play it safe). WiFi was great too. We would love to return to this lovely place in the future.

Lovely cottage with everything thought of for a cosy comfortable stay. The bed was wonderful as was the quietness of the location which was perfect for me. Many thanks to Sally for a home from home stay

The house was beautiful and exactly how it looked in the pictures. The view is so fabulous, changing with the tides and daylight. Great garden area as well for my doggy. The town itself is very quiet with only a shop and a chip van - which is currently closed on weekends. We were able to pivot and cook a decent meal in the house though instead, then go to a nearby town the next evening for food. Really chilled place to stay as a base for seeing around the rest of the area. And always a bonus when you can bring your four-legged friends 👍🐾

Just back from a weeks stay at Brambles cottage. What can we say apart from it was fantastic. So very peaceful,beautiful scenery and LOADS of great places to walk from the door step. We brought our dog Boycee and he throughly enjoyed himself also. The garden was 100% secure so we could just relax and let Boycee run around and play freely. We would most definitely love to go back if welcomed. Thank you to Karen and Alistar. Nothing was a problem

Gillian’s place is a Lovely cosy house set in beautiful countryside, very quiet and private place it was ideal for our needs. We travelled to the Balmoral Show during our stay. We ate in local restaurants in Saintfield which were also very tasty with very pleasant staff We really enjoyed our stay Thank you Gillian

Absolutely beautiful place very peaceful the view was outstanding couldn't fault the place one bit had everything you needed lovely to go on the beach each day will definitely book again in the near future had a great time😃

Shirley and Tom were amazing hosts . We felt right at home . Throughly enjoyed our stay .

Fantastic little gem, with the most amazing views from the property, across the local valleys in a rural location. Despite being / feeling peaceful & away from everything your actually only 15 minutes drive from all the major supermarkets and a good sized town with shops, leisure & cinema. Property was clean, free from clutter and perfect for days exploring and evenings relaxing. Perfectly placed for exploring for Derry, North & Causeway Coast, Antrim Coast & Glens, Belfast & Antrim. Everyone (inc our dog) love the property, little bit different for a longer dog walk on the country lanes (if your not used to walking on the lanes) but was very, very quite with not many dogs around. Alexandra is fantastic and really quick at answering questions and queries.

Anne’s place was lovely. Beautiful countryside setting. Very comfortable cottage with a ‘home from home’ feel. Anne was super friendly and helpful. A great place to stay. Highly recommend. We hired a car to move around as it is quite rural and we wanted to do some exploring, however we were also able to book an Uber very easily to pick us up from property.

Lovely accommodation in a magic part of the world. Facilities were great. Special mention comfy bed and wood heater for cold evenings. Anne was easy to communicate with and attentive. Loved the fresh eggs from their chooks. Would highly recommend

Lovely bungalow with all the amenities that we required for our short stay. Inside the town of Kells but in a quiet cul-de-sac, very peaceful. Easy drive to Antrim coast & Glen's. Host was very responsive & check in/out was straightforward. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic home to stay in! A very homely stay, very clean, comfortable,and in a perfect location. Perfect for a family (like us with 2 young boys) or a group of friends. This is a great house that has all you could possibly need, in a lovey surrounding that is an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist spots you could think off. Fiona couldn't be more helpful with proactive messages or immediate responses to any questions. Would strongly recommend!

Welcoming, charming and friendly host, who provided all the amenities we were looking for. Very comfortable and a great place to return to after a full day out visiting the sites and sounds of Belfast. We opted for using buses and to walk to get around. We were very near a good bus route into town.

The place was cosy, kitchen had basic condiments milk, different kinds of spreads, shampoo, shower gels, hand wash, logs and everything was provided, we enjoyed the ground coffee. Surroundigs beautiful. Over all it was a great experience.

Perfect no complaints at all, perfect area walking distance to the centre, Would definitely visit again, Thanks

If our family could give Alan's place more than 5 stars we would! My younger son says 20 stars! Everything about this place was amazing and Alan thought of everything. It was clean, he left lots of goodies and toiletries to use. We were pleasantly surprised that the double bed in the main bedroom , although listed as a double, is actually what Americans call a queen. We absolutely loved the history of the cottage and the Byrne just outside (it was so nice to hear it bubbling by the window). Alan really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. If we are ever back in Ireland I am sure we will make a point of lodging here again.
