Lovely cottage, bigger on the inside than it looks on turnout side. Quirky, fun layout making the most of the available space.Great to have a little balcony off the living room to eat breakfast and dinner. The living, dining, kitchen area was our favourite part.The cottage was clean and had a designated parking place to the front. Linda had also left a few supplies for our arrival.

The cottage was very clean, full of light, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The views of the surrounding countryside were beautiful! We were very close (within 15 minutes) to the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and Bushmill’s Distillery, as well as the town of Bushmills, and within an hour of Derry and Belfast. Communication with Linda, our host, was very easy. She is so friendly and is a wonderful host! We wish we had been able to stay longer on this trip and we would definitely stay again if we’re back in the area in the future.

Great spot for our trip to see the Giants Causeway

This was a nice little cottage minutes from the beach, Bushmills, and the Giants Causeway. The place was clean and well equipped. Our only complaint was that the beds were very uncomfortable.

Bluebell cottage was clean and tidy and very well equipped. The cottages are situated in their own little complex surrounded by beautiful scenery. The interior was well designed, and one of the bedrooms had access to the rear garden. There was ample parking for two vehicles. It was very close to the Causeway Coastal route making it very easy to see the sights. All in all we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this property.

small but lovely cottage in small holiday home area

We really felt at home in Linda's house. There are many great locations within minutes by car. It was perfectly equipped and had enough space for our family of four. We would have liked to stay longer, but we could only enjoy the house for 2 nights at the end of our road trip before we had to move on.
