Beautiful accomodation in a wonderful rural setting

The West Wing was incredibly cosy and well furnished. It was so nice to arrive to this warm, spotlessly clean and well appointed accommodation after a long journey. An ideal base to explore the landscape of the Antrim coast and glens.

Irish Countryside

Richard provided a lovely getaway in the Irish country that did not disappoint. With the owners living onsite, they were available for any questions we had. They provided excellent, clear instructions and information about the property upon arrival, and check in was very easy. The property is located in a lovely little town of Broughshane with friendly folk and accessible shops and pubs/cafes for eating. We highly recommend this property and would return again should we travel to Broughshane, Ireland again.

A lovely and very comfortable home on an awesome property!

It took a moment to find but if you follow the directions she sends you (which were admittedly looked a little daunting to an american who constantly uses google maps for everything) it is actually quite easy. The property is amazing and the host (whom we ran in to a couple of times puttering around in her gardens) was lovely and encouraged us to explore. The area is centrally located and easy to venture out for the day. The home is cozy and well supplied and an excellent place to come home to every night. The bed, bathroom and lounge were all very comfortable and the in floor heating in the kitchen is SUBLIME - especially when the rainy days have sunk the cold deep in your bones and only hot tea and warm feet will warm you up. Cound not recommend more and would absolutely visit again!!!

West Wing of a Country House.

Very comfortable and well equipped property in a quiet setting. Lovely garden and parking. Broughshane as a village has everything you need. Good pub, fish & chip shop and supermarket. Broughshane is very central when travelling to Belfast & Co Antrim Coast. We were able to meet up with family nearby, to visit old haunts and to go to Lyric Theatre. Wanted to climb Slemish but weather was too windy. Would you happy to return.

Great location for exploring the coastline

From Broughshane it is less than hour drive to the causeway coast with its beautiful and interesting scenery and walks. Only about 30 mins to the east coast north of Larne. Well worth the money. Comfortable with all that you need. Lovely garden to sit in if the weather is kind. Host were helpful

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Welcome to Carncairn, where the Reade family have lived for 5 generations. I moved back here with my wife, Amy and our young son in 2025 to take over the running of the property from my parents who still live on the estate. Amy is an artist and designer who delights in keeping up the garden with my mother, Pamela, who has transformed the environs over the past 30 years. Like my father, Richard, I am a cabinet maker who is relishing in the opportunity to continue the upkeep of Carncairn and to slowly bring our own style to the house and gardens.

Situated well away from the road our guests love the rural tranquility, beautiful gardens and local area as much as we do. We enjoy meeting our guests but appreciate that most of them come to stay for weddings, exploring, seeing family or just getting away and pick us for the tranquility and secluded nature of the property, so after meeting on arrival we respect your privacy unless you wish or need to contact us.

We look forward to hosting you at The West Wing,
Freddy and Amy
