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

Ideally situated for exploring the area; short drive to Bushmills. Very well equipped cottage with everything we needed & some extra touches. Plenty of space & storage.

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.

Very quiet with lots of birdsong outside the windows. Cottage was clean and all the essentials were included. Sally was very quick to respond when we had an issue.

Absolutly wonderful stay! If ever back in the area, we will stay again. 10/10 recomend across the board. Cute, comfortable, homey cottage in the most ideal location for exploring the coast! Literally minutes from everything we wanted to see. Kitchen and house was well stocked for self-catering. My husband and I stayed with our teenager and toddler and we found Swallow Cottage to be an excellent reprieve from hotel stays. The place was clean and the host, Sally, communicative. Lots of great local information provided there as well.

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.
