2BR Spacious City Centre Apartment
Lovely apartment, very clean and well equipped with a very local pub which did a great Guinness and food. The club sandwich was brilliant. Very central so really easy to walk to numerous pubs and restaurants and there was a bus stop nearby for more distant things Would go back in a heartbeat

NIapartments: Coastal retreat with Mountain views
Had an amazing stay here in newcastle. The apartment exceeded our expectations! Very comfortable and felt right at home. We were pleasantly surprised to find a christmas tree in the living room and a board game box. Really well equiped kitchen, many adaptor cables which came in handy and a gorgeous view.

Waterside apartment with mountain views & garden
Just back from our stay the apartment was spotless and had everything you could need and more. It was easy to find and clear instructions for access. Walking into the apartment it was so homely and warm and the view was amazing. The beds were lovely and comfortable. We had 2 dogs with us and the outside patio and grass area were so handy and closed in. The apartment is so handy for nearby amenities shop , coffee shops etc. We couldn't fault the apartment and John's gift of wheaten bread was appreciated. We would definitely return and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Apt in Titanic Quarter with balcony - Free parking
This accommodation is a gem. Well positioned for everything in the Titanic Quarter and a 20 minute walk in to town. Also, it was on the right side of town for everything south of city. There is also a regular bus service which we didn't use. The free car parking was a bonus. The apartment was comfortable, we even got to sit on the balcony. We would definitely recommend this place and would certainly seek to stay again should we return to Belfast.

Skippingstone Beach Loft With Amazing Sea Views
Really enjoyable stay in clean comfortable apartment with lovely views in quiet residential area Lovely easily accessible coastal walks Would definable visit again

Seaside Slumbers. (Central Bangor)
This really is a gem of a place to stay , very close to the centre of Bangor , quiet and yet it’s still close to the restaurants bars and night life of the town. It is also walking distance from the marina and sea front of bangor , really loved this stay the host has put a lot of work into this property, it’s very clean , it has easy access throughout so anyone who has difficulties with stairs need not worry. It’s immaculately clean , heating was really good and contact with the host was on point too , I can’t fault anything about this place or the host. Thank you for putting such a good place onto Air B&B ….. really looking forward to the next time

Waterfoot Escape
sarah was really helpful, I had a few questions when we arrived (because I didn't pay attention to information she had already provided me with 😅) and sarah was so quick to answer. the apartment was lovely and felt homely

City centre waterfront 2 bedroom apartment
A great base for exploring the lovely city of Belfast. Within a short walk to St George’s Market and across the water from Waterfront Hall. Any questions were answered quickly by the hosts and the instructions were nice and clear for a smooth check in. We found the apartment super quiet and clean and slept well. Water pressure was a bit low but we worked around it no problem. Would definitely stay here again for future visits.

Seaspray Cottage
This is an exceptionally good place to stay, with clever design to make the most of the sea views. The accommodation is excellent: clean, smart and attractive. Nearby access to the beach is the icing on the cake. A lovely part of the country. John was very helpful and quick to respond. Thank you, John!

Beautiful home in stunning location
Comfortable beds, fab bathrooms, warm and cosy, plentiful hot water and excellent kitchen. The sitting room was perfect for our needs and just gazing out over Strangford Lough was wonderful.

Superb Seaside Cottage
I’ve stayed here several times and it is a wonderfully beautiful place. We had a wonderful stay. A thin space in the Celtic tradition. What a wonderful experience with lots of nature passing by the cottage.

Boathouse on Strangford Lough
We loved the Boathouse! Great view. Wished we had longer there with better weather. Caroline provided great suggestions of restaurants and things to do. She provided milk/bread/butter/coffee. The attention to details inside and out made our stay even better.

The Beach House Strangford
We had a lovely stay at Alex and Danny’s place with such a friendly welcome from the hosts. The location is beautiful, such a treat to wake up to and the cottage has everything you could need. Strangford isn’t far away and has some nice spots to eat and drink. Would definitely return. Thank you x

Hidden Gem, Ballyholme Beach.
What an amazing cottage! The photos to not do this place justice. We were a family of 5 adults and one child and Glen cottage could not have met our needs more. Kate was an absolute delight to deal with, quick to reply, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. We were left some lovely wine, coffee and chocolates that came in very handy indeed. The Seaviews are stunning and only a short walk to the lovely Ballyholme beach. The cottage was spotlessly clean, had everything you could ever need from an air B and B and it was so warm with plenty of hot water for the weekend. It is a very peaceful setting and like another review said, there was enough space to be together as a family but also plenty of rooms if you wanted to be alone. It was really easy to get into Bangor as well as a great road up to Belfast. There is a coastal route signed outside the cottage which we really enjoyed. We cannot wait to return to Glen Cottage in the near future. It really was a 5 star stay :)

The Boathouse at Old Court
Perfect location for a peaceful retreat or a romantic getaway. The place and surroundings are beautiful!

Drumhill Cottage, Comber, Co. Down
A lovely place - cosy, clean, quiet, and with helpful hosts. We particularly loved being able to do a 4 mile round trip walk to Nendrum without having to get in the car. Very much recommended, and I'm sure we'll be back ourselves 😀

Seaview House - Donaghadee seafront.
Great apartment location is fantastic, great views would highly recommend. Bathroom bit small but didn’t put us off so would gladly stay again.

Island View a stunning seaside 2 bedroom apartment
Absolutely lovely apartment, stunning views, Peter and Holly were tremendous with communication and provided us with some fresh bread, eggs, butter and a bottle of wine, informed us of everything we needed to know and made some great recommendations for food and sites. We had a thourghly enjoyable time, the views and facilities were great. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Bayside View Apartment
This is our second visit to Tracy's property and the stay was equally as good! The location looking out over Dundrum Bay and the Mournes is beautiful - my husband in his happy place observing the birdlife both on the water and in the wooded areas of Murlough. (44 species he tells me - including the elusive cuckoo!) The weather was glorious and the balcony gets the sun most of the day. - ideal for a glass or two of Prosecco! The apartment has all you could need and spotlessly clean. Tracy is all you could wish for in a host - you will undoubtedly enjoy any stay here.

Luxury design-led apartment in Titanic Quarter
Ben’s apartment is very comfortable and stylish. The location in the Titanic Quarter was perfect for us. We could walk downtown and to the Titanic Belfast museum. We could just leave our car parked while we were in Belfast. There is a small grocery store on the ground level of the apartment complex. The breakfast food and goodies that Ben provided were much appreciated. The washer/dryer was great for us on a three week road trip in Ireland. This is a lovely place to stay.

Lagan Side View Apartment
To say this property is perfect is a massive understatement! It’s beautiful, well kept, within walking distance to all of the places we wanted to visit & the view is gorgeous. We had an issue getting in (totally our fault) but Matt answered our message within a minute. Definitely recommend this property:)

10 See Sea
See Sea is in a brilliant location for being next to all the local amenities of Donaghadee. The view is stunning and we felt very safe in the flats and surrounding area. It really felt like a home from home with everything we needed!

Lovely apartment overlooking harbour & bay.
David’s spot was amazing especially with the morning and evening views from the living room of the Ardglass Harbor. A short walk to everything downtown and a quick 5 minute walk to the golf club. Will most certainly be returning to David’s spot. Thanks David!!

The Surgery, self catering apartment.
Great little place to stay before your round at Ardglass Golf Club just a couple blocks up the hill. Very easy to find and get in, everything worked, and even left us some snacks. Thanks again Sarah!
