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.

Pros:

Tosi hyvä sijainti kävelyetäisyydellä Antrimin keskustasta. Siisti huone ja kaunis talo. Kätevä parkkeeraus talon pihassa.

Cons:

Meitä ei haitannut, mutta joitain voi haitata se, että talon omistaja asuu samassa talossa.

Loved it. Home from home.
Pros:

Absolutely everything. Owner was lovely, chatted but also left us to it. Lots of lovely yummy breakfast stuff. Including free range mega fresh eggs. We went for parkrun and had a late breakfast both mornings. I just can’t say enough nice stuff about our stay here. Big bright comfy bedroom. I’m a reluctant BnB person, but I’m so glad we visited.

Cons:

Absolutely zero not to like about this place.

Relaxing and wonderful
Pros:

The place is in a great location, very close to the airport, and was spotlessly clean with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The bedroom was also very spacious.

What truly made the experience exceptional was the host. She was incredibly kind, generous, and attentive. She went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable—providing an extra heater and even a warm cardigan when she noticed I might need one, which I really appreciated. Her thoughtfulness made my stay feel very welcoming and homely. I also really enjoyed the interesting conversations we had together.

I would highly recommend staying here.

Cons:

Nothing at all. I loved the property and would definitely stay there again if I visit Belfast
