The cottage is a fabulous hideaway full of character and extremely well kitted out. A perfect spot for two people looking for a cosy weekend. Sally was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. I would highly recommend Swallow Cottage for a really relaxing break

Cottage stay

Bugs in cottage but beautiful cottage
Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 26 May 2025
So glad you liked the cottage but sorry to hear that you found bugs?! We are a bit surprised to hear this as we have never had any complaints or experienced this problem before and would be interested to know exactly where and what these bugs were. Also we were not impressed at all by the 'artwork' left on the chalkboard by Ciaran which was obscene infantile and totally unneccessary.

Lovely cottage in outstanding area

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location overlooking open countryside. Everything you need is there. It's located just outside Bushmills, a village with lots of eateries and a good visitor centre. Just down the road is the Giants Causeway and some splendid beaches.

Charmant cottage tout confort

C'est charmant, très propre, très bien équipé. Et en plus le cadre est magnifique et confortable. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter la côte d'Antrim et ses sites magnifiques : la chaussée des géants, Bushmills, les îles, Derry, Belfast, les falaises, profiter des plages et des activités nautiques.... Il n'y a que l'embarras du choix.
