little gem

The cottage is wonderfully situated in Ballintoy, with a great local pub and a cliff walk very close by. The log stove made the cottage very cosy and we found the bed extremely comfy!!

Thanks!

My wife and I spent three nights in the cottage. Northern Star is tiny and cosy.The quiet location suited us and our small pet. Clever use is made space and furniture. We found it clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the walks, golf and a drive along the coast and through the glens of Antrim. A complimentary bottle of wine in front of the stove added to our enjoyment.We were pleased with our meals in the Nook and Smugglers Inn. We needed good footwear and suitable clothing. We recommend it to a retired couple with a small pet.

Northern Star cottage is one of the loveliest we have ever stayed in, due to the high standards of cleanliness and the little things such as the quality of the bed linen, and (for someone as fussy as me), the cutlery. The cottage is ideally located for touring the beautiful Antrim coast, but central enough to reach Donegal for a day trip. The owners provided excellent customer care and I have already recommended this property to 2 friends planning to visit Ireland in the future.

Clem & Jayne's cottage is the ideal place to holiday; it was exceptionally clean and the location is perfect for visiting all the tourist attractions (such as the Giants' Causeway) and also to take advantage of the superb walks - on beaches and cliff tops alike. The village of Ballintoy, which is within very easy walking distance of the cottage, has 2 good pubs with decent and inexpensive food. We were warmly welcomed and our 2 young dogs were also accommodated which made our holiday complete. Well worth a visit to enjoy exploring the County Antrim coast.

and exactly as described. Couldn't have wished for a more relaxing place to stay. The only downside was, our weather went downhill after 3 days and we used the car more than we would have done. We did manage the walk to Giant's Causeway which is hard work but worth the views. Although the rope bridge is nearby we didn't get there, but having done it before we knew what we had missed. The Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy is very welcoming and provides good food and local music. Clem and Jayne have done an excellent job with the cottage and we would definitely recommend to friends.

Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed staying at Northern Star cottage last week. Apart from the excellent facilities and handy provisions, modern furnishings and lovely linen in the cottage, we also loved the location. We found that we hardly drove all week, or if we did we never went further than 10 or 15 miles. That's very unusal for us - yet we saw so much and had so much fresh air. It didn't rain much, we got to Rathlin Island and saw loads of seals, walked round to Whitepark Bay and the other way to Carrick-a-rede. We went to Bushmills and Dunluce Castle as well, and Ballymoney, the Dark Hedges and the Giant's Causeway. We liked the Fullerton Arms in the village - excellent take-aways, great value - and Ballycastle was our favourite town.
Thankyou very much for your warm welcome. We shall be recommending both your cottage and the Antrim coast as a perfect holiday destination to our friends, I have several in mind already, some older people, others with younger kids. We really had the most wonderful week. We found eating out to be fairly reasonably priced and of very good quality, so good value for money.

Hope to book again soon!
