Prefect location to see Northern Ireland attractions. Enough room for a family to relax and enjoy the views of the Irish Sea. Communications with the host was accurate and very responsive, if we had any questions before and during our stay. We would stay again.
Stunning sea views, beautifully peaceful, extremely clean, very well equipped, felt at home immediately. Excellent communication from host. Everything you could ask for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Can highly recommend.
Tidy and clean big house.
More then enough room then the four of us needed.
Good equiped and spacious kitchen.
The dinner table could be a little bigger with more ( comfortable) chairs if you look at the space, but we were only with four people so for us it was good.
Great surroundings, and again.....
What a view!
Pleasant View is indeed a beautiful property. Roy & Sue have been fantastic hosts, communicating at every stage. Both check in & check out process was absolutely smooth. The property is impeccable, very clean and has everything and much more than you can expect. It was a very nice touch to keep milk, tea, coffee, cookies , some condiments etc., to welcome us. The property is very well located and has incredible views. We will definitely be back in the future. Thank you Jenkins family for allowing us to enjoy our stay in your lovely home.
An extremely comfortable, clean and well-equipped housewith plenty of space inside and out. It was lovely just to sit outside looking over the garden towards the sea and to hear nothing. The house was easy to find from the directions given by the owner, and although we didn't need it, it was good to have the owner's contact details just in case. The bottle of wine and biscuits waiting for us were a kind touch and much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending this house to anyone looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable to spend a few days or weeks.
There are not enough adjectives to describe this property and the location! We usually stay in Ballygally, but needed a larger property, and this house and the land were perfect for our group of 5! The house had everything we needed - it was spacious, clean, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The kitchen is large and has everything you could ever want. The view is perfect! Roy and Sue were excellent to work with - quick response to any questions we had! Islandmagee has a Spar and Rinkha which both sell groceries so there is no need to leave the island except to visit tourist sites. The Coast Road and Belfast are both very easy to get to from Islandmagee. We are hoping to stay next summer for two weeks! Thanks for sharing your lovely property with us!!
Pleasant view is a perfect property, spacious, clean and has everything you need. The view is amazing and creates a relaxing atmosphere. It is wonderful to wake up in the morning and look out at the sea.
We had a lovely stay at this very spacious property. The kitchen was well equipped. The location was stunning with beautiful sea views. Well located for visiting tourist spots, but far enough away to feel rural. We'll be back!
Pleasant View is one of the best self catering houses we've ever stayed in. The views are stunning. Didn't realise you could see Scotland that clearly. There is everything you need at the property, it's so comfortable and a real home away from home. You must drive a little way further down the road to Brown's Bay and also go to The Rinka for an amazing ice cream.
Would highly recommend and it was a great base for our trip home to visit family after COVID.
Thank you.
We stayed for 6 nights. Very clean and spacious property in an excellent location. Quiet and peaceful. Views of Irish Sea and P&O ferry crossing. We had a lovely time. The communication from the host is very prompt from the time of booking till we vacated the property. Thank you Roy & Sue for making our holiday comfortable and memorable.
Lovely and spacious, good location to the coast. The property is lovely, nice wide open space and plenty of P&O ferries!!
The water pressure was quite low, but didn't disturb our stay.
We'd certainly recommend this property...
Much appreciated cakes on arrival too!!
👍👍👍
On arrival, absolutely gobsmacked, lovely clean & spacious house. Large gardens though weather meant we didn't use the outside seating. Well equipped kitchen. Only minor change we would have liked was a wall mounted mirror over the handbasin in the main bathroom. Overall great stay, hope to be back again soon.
This was perfect for us! The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Location is absolutely gorgeous. Such a nice quiet place to spend the week but, still fairly close to Belfast that it wasn't a bad drive to get to the city. Roy and Sue were great to work with. Can't recommend this place enough!
We had a lovely stay at Pleasant View. Spotless and comfortable, everything you need for a home from home stay. Peaceful location to come back to after action packed days exploring beautiful Northern Island.
Peaceful, scenic, relaxing and a good base for N.I.
This is a lovely property in a great position overlooking the Irish Sea. We had fabulous views across to Scotland most days. We did a few walks on Islandmagee, and played some golf at Larne, a little 9 hole gem. The drive up to the Devil's Causeway on the Causeway Coastal Route is superb. The Titanic Museum in Belfast is also a great day out. The locals were all very friendly and welcoming, and the owners very friendly and helpful. A fabulous relaxing holiday and a property we would definitely consider staying at again.

About the host
Hosted by Roy Jenkins
We were born and brought up in Wales but with my family connections in Islandmagee we like to holiday as much as we can there. We also love to travel around Europe and further afield where we are able to sample the local dishes and make new friends.
Why they chose this property
'Pleasant View' has been our family holiday home for the past 35 years (although recently re built!) it holds special memories as I spent all of my holidays as a child on Islandmagee also. Our connection with Islandmagee goes back for many years and I can't think of a better place to relax , unwind and enjoy the beautiful area which surrounds our holiday home. We now would like to share it with you but please treat it with love and respect.
