An awesome stay!

All the details of this listing matched the property when first seen it. Extremely clean and nicley decorated. There was much need coffee and milk left for us on our arrival. Communication between the host and myself was extremely responsive. Ample parking, quiet, and cozy. Close to shopping Belfast city and the shore on the back doorstep. What a wonderful trip and a great stay thank you.

Old Rectory review…

Upon arrival it was a bit confusing as to actually finding the location of the street address. After several attempts we found the street we were looking for, as it runs parallel with the main road. So, our GPS was correct, but we needed to look more closely. The home was exactly as pictured. Very clean, decorated well . The kitchen was quite large, very well appointed, and all the bedrooms were lovely. I suppose the only negative(s) were: 1. After taking a shower in the upstairs bathroom, we noticed a leak in the ceiling on the main floor and the carpet wet. We notified the owner directly, and we then used a different bathroom after that, which was not a problem. 2. We also noted an “odd” odor coming from the kitchen. It appeared to come and go. Thought maybe it was from the washing machine, but it wasn’t. We never did find out what was causing it, but never the less, it was offensive and consequently, we avoided the kitchen somewhat. 3. The beds were ok, except luggage racks would have been a nice addition. Other than that, it was great!
