Pros:

Vynikající lokalita, poměrně blízko vlakového nádraží. Dobře dostupné k letišti. Krásný pokoj, který překvapil stylem. Nádherné vintage vybavení, návštěva i kvůli tomu stojí opravdu za to.
Velmi oceňuji snídani pro dietní omezení.

Pros:

Nice and welcoming host. Great facilities. Breakfast, enough to choose from for breakfast, egg, jam, cheese, youghurt and different types of breakfast boxes to choose from (oats, cornflakes etc.), + coffee, tea and juice 👍
Looks exactly like pictured.

Cons:

Some noise from the road, because the windows cant close probably, but on the other hand, it gives a bit airflow wich preventing bad climate.
If I stayed for a long time in a rainy period, I might miss a small tv in the bedroom.

It is very beautiful and comfortable house. Kathleen is a very gracious host. She's very kind and generous, and even drove me to the train station because I was getting late. It was a lovely visit. Will recommend to my friends.

Coccole ad Antrim
Pros:

Ci è piaciuta la pulizia, l'organizzazione funzionale dell'attrezzatura a nostra disposizione. Cucina super-accessoriata (caffè espresso compreso). Bagno oversize luminoso e accogliente. Camera da letto con un armadio capiente e un cassettone.
Per vivere l'esperienza di una casa a disposizione degli ospiti e farli sentire benvenuti e coccolati.

Pros:

Il Blue Cottage è una casetta molto bella e ben curata, situata nel centro di Antrim. La proprietaria è molto simpatica e disponibile per qualsiasi necessità o informazione.
La casa è condivisa e il bagno è in comune, ma non è stato assolutamente un problema: tutti hanno rispettato i propri spazi e il soggiorno è stato piacevole. La colazione offre tutto il necessario per iniziare bene la giornata e la cucina è a disposizione per preparare un pranzo al sacco o la cena.
Personalmente consiglio questa struttura come ottima base d’appoggio per visitare l’Irlanda del Nord in auto, anche grazie alla presenza del comodo parcheggio interno.

Cons:

Non ho trovato nulla che non fosse di mio gradimento.
