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.

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.

Pros:

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.
