Perfect for a home from home stay.
Pros:

A true hidden gem. Kathleen was the perfect host and gave me a very warm welcome. Her home is just fabulous, the pictures really don’t do it justice. Really warm, clean and comfortable room. Bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Bathroom and shower were spotless and fresh towels felt brand new. Look forward to staying
again.

Cons:

Having to check out

Pros:

Kathleen is so lovely! She was the perfect host - helpful, friendly, and also respectful of her guests’ privacy. The breakfast options were varied and delicious. We never felt like we were in her way. Her home is a perfect location, about a block from the train/bus station, a block from the Antrim castle gardens, and 2-3 blocks from the main road in town where you can find restaurants, banks, the bingo hall, etc. 100% would recommend staying here. The perfect place for us to land on our first few days in Ireland!

Ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen
Pros:

Es war alles da, was man braucht. Die Lage war hervorragend. Die Gastgeberin war super. Es hat an nichts gefehlt.

Cons:

Mein Zimmer zur Straße war etwas lauter. Aber wenn man die Fenster gut zu hat, geht es gut.
