The cottage is really nice and direct at the seaside. It was all clean, the beds are good and the kitchen is well equipped. With both a washer and dryer it is easy to do your laundry in a few hours. We had a great time and I will recommend Johanna’s cottage to everyone.

Wonderful cottage to be able to switch off. We had a week to explore the area. we had a great day in Derry. we went to Belfast, and the Titanic exhibition was worth the trip and so much more that just about the Titanic.We would also recommend a visit to the Giants Causeway and the 'rope bridge'.However, wonderful all these places were to visit, the joy was returning to the cottage. We were blown away at the amount of the Scottish coast line we could see and that we could sit and watch birds fishing boats and cruise liners slip past.

Fallowvee cottage was amazing and we loved every minute of our time there! Amazing views, beautiful landscape, and much tranquility can be had here. Owner Johanna was very responsive and her passion for the cottage's history is very apparent. We were here for our wedding ceremony and will most definitely return in the future for an anniversary trip.

Fairy tale cottage

Everything was perfect. This was a magical stay at an idyllic cottage. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were fortunate to see dolphins, a seal, and even sharks in the water. Locals were very friendly and we hope to come back again. Thank you Johanna for an enchanting experience!

Lovely cottage, beautiful location

The cottage was everything the listing and photos promise, an absolutely stunning location right on the coast road so easily accessible from Larne, with trips to the towns, villages and glens very easy. We spent a fair bit of time in Cushendall which has a fantastic Tourist Information as well as petrol, small shops and cash machines. The property itself has a fantastic large living room, very effective heating, a bathroom with the best view ever and really comfortable bedrooms. If you're into Game of Thrones there's also a GoT location hidden away in the hills behind the coast road, 30 minutes steep walk away. Communication with the host couldn't have been better. All in all, Fallowvee Cottage is a stunner.

Fallowvee Cottage was a pleasant stay for our family of four. The location was incredible—what amazing views—and it allowed us to explore the coastal causeway and Antrims with ease.The home was relatively easy to find, although we drove past the driveway on the first attempt, as the gate/driveway opening is smaller than we are used to. Our VW Golf rental was a perfect fit for the parking available, however. There is even space to turn around inside the confines of the property.Check-in was a bit stressful because there was a mixup in our arrival date on the part of the owner and housekeeper. They were both quick to respond, however, to get everything comfortable for us.This is most definitely a cottage. Expect potential resident spiders (daddy long legs) and gnats (if you open windows and doors), but be prepared for breathtaking views, possible dolphin sightings, and lots of peace and quiet.The bathroom has lots of space, and the kitchen offers modern necessities including a washer and dryer.

Breathtaking property with superior amenities

Fallowvee surpassed our expectations. Beautiful, historic cottage with incredible views. Our visit was following a week of sightseeing across Ireland. The cottage provided a nice change from the bustling pace of days prior. We enjoyed home cooked meals made in the well appointed kitchen. Hot water was plentiful and the shower’s water pressure excellent. The laundry amenities were efficient and enabled us to repack with more clean than dirty clothes. Our evenings were spent by the fire and were quite toasty! Bed linens were soft and towels were plush. All very welcome for 2 tired travelers. We loved the history of the property and the evidence that is a well-cared-for family treasure. We appreciated the art and heirlooms throughout the cottage. Memories of the phenomenal views and sound of waves crashing will be the ‘happy place’ I retreat to when the realities of work and life soon return. What a perfect ending to our holiday.

Loved the Location! Cleanliness could be improved.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location was great, right on the ocean. We enjoyed the views and the sunsets. The property was functional but overall cleanliness and additional functionality could be improved. We were there during a warm week which made sleeping difficult as you can't open windows at night. Many of the windows/doors are unusable. Upon checking in the sink still had dishes in it and the dishwasher was full. The shower was different with addon doors attached to a tub which provided 1/3 coverage. The shower head needs to be replaced. There were many spider webs in the house. We wished there had been some table and chairs to sit outside as the chairs are unusable and the picnic table was questionable. It just needs a little TLC and it could be an amazing place!

Wonderful!

We had wonderful five night stay at Fallowvee Cottage! The cottage has a lot of character and charm right on the ocean. It was very clean, comfortable. We felt like we stepped back in time in this cozy cottage but it had modern conveniences as well. Washer/dryer, strong wifi, firestick etc. Johanna was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend if you want to be close enough to main attractions however far enough away to not be in a tourist trap. I am very discerning when it comes to accomadations and let me ask for you this is accurately portrayed in the pictures and you should have no worries upon booking. ** I'm not sure why a previous guest left a bad review regarding laundry and smell. There was laundry in the dryer but it was simply some towels already dried. There was an abundance of clean towels and linens available. The "stench" was simply due to the cottage being older (which is part of the charm). Opening a few windows upon arriving freshened it up in a few minutes.

Location - cleanliness

Location is excellent. Property poorly maintained, on a short -term(cleaning) basis or a long-term (ongoing improvement/maintenance) basis. No blind on the bathroom window (we had to use bodyboards for privacy). Many windows are corroded and do not open. Putting a rustic label that says don’t open the window, is not charming. Tumble drier vents into a kitchen cupboard in an already (by its age) damp property. Not clean. Kitchen floor had to be vacuumed (after we cleaned-emptied and cleared a blockage in the vacuum cleaner). We had to transfer wet towels from the washing machine to tumble dry. Flies in the kitchen constantly. Kitchen units peeling from damp. The location is second to none, however there are better options on this coastline.

Lovely historic cottage perched directly on the rocks of the Antrim Coast. Clearly loved by the family that owns it. Location is stunning. Big picture window for viewing the water, with smaller windows that can open for fresh air and the sounds of the waves. Wood burning fireplace that we didn’t use but guests are allowed.We had a nice meal at the Harborview Hotel just down the road in Carnlough.
