Strand Cottage Ballycastle Seafront
We had a great few days at Donna’s home. Everything you need is there. It is clean, comfortable and spacious. Located just a few minutes walk away from the beach, shops & bars it’s perfect for a short break. 😎

The Old Post Office Portrush
Great unit for two! Pictures didn’t do it justice. Lovely unit with great location… quiet residential street but with quick access to the beach and very walkable to town. Easy parking. Had everything we needed and hosts provided great local recc’s. Cutest doggo next door too!

Waterfoot Beach House - Main St
We loved the place, wished we had booked it for more nights

North Coast Beach House Steps from the Beach
We had a super family weekend. Pauline's house was very well equipped, recently updated, very comfortable, spacious, and an amazing view of the sea, beach and Donegal beyond! We look forward to returning!

Emma’s Fisherman's Cottage on the Foyle
The cottage was in a beautiful spot, lovely view looking out onto the river, the house was very comfortable & clean. Emma was very helpful & replied to any queries straight away. We also left something at the cottage which she kindly dropped off at our relations house after we left. We would definitely stay here again & recommend it to other people

Watersedge 1 Redcastle
Great stay at this airbnb. Lovely property, amazing location, very comfortable and great host. Highly recommend.

Great Seaside & harbour views!
Absolutely fabulous stay at Julie’s. We didn’t want to leave. It is a beautiful house with really cool decor as well as being really comfy. The views were out of this world, the upstairs living room is so fantastic to sit & watch the world go by. The beach was just across the road & it was perfect to get up & out each morning to walk the dog. I would love to stay again!

Large House, Stunning Views & Private Beach Access
Jill and Alistair could not have been better hosts. From initial booking inquiry through checkout, they were incredibly helpful, responsive, friendly, and went the extra mile without any prompt. Directions to the stay were crystal clear, the property is immaculate, beautiful, private, and well located for the exploration of Finad and all of Donegal. Rathmullan is a wonderful town, and I can not recommend enough a stay with Jill, and Alistair, and especially their wonderful dogs. Alistair was extra helpful in navigating the area, providing recommendations, asking for feedback, and saving a few strokes up at Portsalon Golf Club. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay well within reach of some of Ireland's most beautiful drives, landmarks, and scenery, this is the place to be. We have travelled quite a bit over the last few years, and this stay was the best we have experienced due to not only location, but the hospitality of Jill and Alistair. A review of 5 stars is too few.

Moyle Home
Lovely house in a great location. We booked last minute but Pauline was responsive and at the property very quickly to let us in. Everything was as described and Pauline showed us everything and how it all worked. Lots of useful leaflets in the property and some great recommendations for food. Everything is on hand and we had a lovely stay in Ballycastle. Thanks 🙏

By The Coast, Portstewart | The Open 2025
This is a beautiful house in a great location. It is well kitted out with everything that we needed. All the rooms are spacious and beautifully bright. It has a lovely peace, relaxed feeling. The back garden is fully enclosed and lovely to sit in for quiet cuppa or to read. There is private parking at the side of the house for 2 cars and all the local amenities are within a 20 min walk. Jayne provided all the information we needed, in good time and there was a handy printed back up at the house to enable an independent stay. We had a really lovely, relaxed stay and would definitely book this house again if we were visiting the north coast.

The Box House. Fahan.Modern Luxury. Views.Donegal.
Coming from a disappointing rental experience at a home in Letterfrack, the Box House was a welcomed respite. Beautiful and modern design and interior decor. Quiet and private setting with views of Lough Swilly and Inch Island. Comfortable beds and pillows. Well equipped kitchen. We loved the large couch and flat screen tv with Netflix for relaxing after day trips to explore County Donegal and N. Ireland. Christine’s responsiveness to questions was amazingly fast!

Inishowen, Donegal, Breakaway
Just what we needed after two days of roadtriping. Wonderful, peaceful place. We stayed two nights to really unwind. John was an excellent host. Would happily stay again. -Joseph

Cosy Seaside Cottage
Super place to stay, close to lots of lovely amenities as well as the sea. Dylan is a really responsive and friendly host, very customer focused. The house is really cosy, bedding immaculate as well as a lovely kitchen fitted out with everything you’d need. Would stay again.

Stunning Rathlin cottage
My husband and I had an excellent stay at Skye cottage. The views over Church Bay are spectacular and the cottage itself is very clean, cosy, and the beds are really comfy. Alan and Hilary are excellent hosts. Hilary contacted us before our stay to inform us what would be open on the island, and Alan gave us a lift up to the house once we arrived. They provided recommendations for wildlife viewing across the island and were very informative and passionate about Rathlin. We unfortunately didn't get great weather during our stay, but we still had a great time and will definitely be back.

Abercorn House
First time stayed at Zoe's Portrush rental house, and it has been big hit. House is very comfortable with big back garden and has all necessary amenities. Bathrooms are newly and beautifully redecorated and comfy beds. We walked to the Portrush amusements and beach from the house with 4 year old and found walk interesting and relaxing. Zoe been most helpful and quick to respond to all messages. Super host! Will definitely be back again!

Coastal Haven | 5-BR Gem in Portrush!
Fabulous house in an ideal location which was very quiet. Karolina was extremely helpful and very prompt in answering my queries. We were 3 families and the playroom was a big hit with my grandchildren. The facilities were great especially use of washing machine and tumble dryer for young children. Overall we had a great time and the location allowed easy access to the promenade for safe walks. Look forward to a return visit in the future

The Watchouse, Malin Head
Amazing few days in Donegal, I wanted to move in and keep that view for ever! Lovely house and plenty of space. So much to do in the area, we'll have to come back! Brilliant communication about location and check in etc, thanks for everything!

Cosy 2 bedroom Coastal stay
We have been coming to Northern Ireland for the NW200 event for 10 years and have stayed in a variety of places. We chose to stay in an air bnb this year for that home from home feel and we certainly got that. Rozzy communicated everything clearly, was incredibly helpful and everything we needed was to hand. A lovely home which was clean and comfortable. The event was walking distance from the house and the added benefit of being able to park the motorbikes in the garage made our stay less stressful. We would happily recommend this accommodation and hope to use it again in the future.

North Coast escape
We had a lovely stay the house was very clean and in a good location we had everything we needed for our stay

Lavender Cottage - Sleeps 10
Lavender Cottage was just perfect for my family. Large, warm and comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. We made good use of the kids games, especially Uno and Guess Who ! We loved the little surprise for our Grandson on our arrival! I won't give the game away 😁 Ballycastle is a lovely little seaside town with everything you could want for a family holiday. Lots of places to visit and we were very busy for our 5 day trip. Communication was great with host and I would hope to be back soon.
