A little gem

We stayed 2 nights at squirrel cottage and it was so relaxing. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very clean. Hot tub was the highlight as we could access it at any time. The location is handy to the north coast so after a day walking the beaches the cottage was just what we needed to come back and relax.

Lovely Stay in the countryside

The accommodations were excellent. The view from the well appointed kitchen is beautiful. The large bathroom/shower was wonderful. Hot tub after a long day exploring was very welcome and enjoyable. Go to the Dunloy Bakery a short 3 - 5 mins from the property for breakfast. Great location for all there is to do in County Antrim including The Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Distillery and so much more. Thank you for a memorable place to repose for our wedding and a short on location honeymooon.

The best accommodations in Northern Ireland.

Wonderful remote, peaceful cottage. Remodeled from a old farm. To house guests, away from cities and the noise of the city. Close enough to visit all the sites but remote enough to just escape.
