Guests say

Granny's cottage in Bushmills is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for exploring the Giant's Causeway and Northern Ireland's coast. Guests have highlighted the well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the warm welcome provided by the hosts. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning to return.

The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with several reviews emphasising the cleanliness of the rooms and facilities. This suggests a high standard of hygiene and care.

The cottage's location is frequently praised for being close to local attractions like the Giant's Causeway and beaches, as well as being within easy reach of Bushmills and other sites. However, some guests noted the lack of walking paths for dogs directly from the property.

Guests have found the beds to be super comfy and the home warm and inviting. The presence of a working farm adds to the rural charm, although it was a concern for some.

The cottage is well-equipped with a well-stocked kitchen, washing machine, and good showers. Some guests suggested improvements such as a radio in the kitchen, a stair gate, and better outdoor furniture. There were also mentions of damp in the kitchen.

While guests have mentioned essentials provided on arrival and a warm welcome, there are no specific references to gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the provision of gifts.

About this property

Nestled in wonderful countryside on the outskirts of Bushmills, County Antrim is this family-friendly, traditional cottage, Granny's. A detached cottage in the middle of a working family farm, this is the perfect spot for a rural escape with your loved ones. Off-road parking is available for guests to unpack their belongings with ease and get settled in straight away; entering via the back door, you'll find a homely kitchen/diner with quaint décor and a feature fireplace. Set the dining table for six and utilise the excellent amenities in the smart, minimal kitchen with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and ample storage space. Head to the bright, snug sitting room with a mixture of traditional and stylish furnishings and make yourself at home on the cushioned corner sofa, paired with a film on the TV or an afternoon of family games, or snuggle into the plush armchair with a good book. Granny's has family-friendly in mind with a spacious ground-floor shower room after muddy walks; hang a towel on the heated towel rail and hop in the walk-in shower to freshen up before dinner. There is a handy washing machine and tumble dryer provided in the external utility room. Climb the stairs to a spacious landing with views right across the beautiful countryside with the Giant's Causeway resting in the background; three lovely bedrooms await sleepy heads, with a king-size, double and twin, all with storage space and a travel cot available for the littlest guest. A family bathroom offers a bath with handheld shower, as well as a walk-in shower, for quick and easy mornings to make the most of your holiday time. A family-friendly courtyard is available to guests, with plenty space for outdoor games and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Stock up on the essentials or dine in one of the restaurants and pubs in Bushmills, which is a short journey away. Granny's is a great location for exploring the delights of Northern Ireland with Bushmills on the designated Causeway Coastal Route for stunning scenic views; head north to follow the footsteps of giants along the iconic Giant's Causeway, with the hamlet of Dunseverick a short journey east, home to a ruined 15th-century castle, Dunseverick falls and a picturesque harbour. Pack the car and spend the day in Portrush, home to a family-friendly beach surrounded by limestone cliffs with plenty of watersports on offer, cafés dotting the coastline, as well as tours of Dunluce Castle, the ruins of a medieval Irish castle. Another fun-filled day trip awaits in Ballycastle surrounded by glens, forests and ancient rocks; fuel up in the many shops and eateries along the bay, explore Bonamargy Friary, before heading to Ballycastle Strand for a day of sea, sun and sandcastles. Granny's is a wonderful home-away-from-home to discover the wonders along the Northern Irish coast.

Located on the approved Causeway Coastal Route, Bushmills is a settlement on the north shore of Northern Ireland's County Antrim. It lies 60 miles north of Belfast and 11 miles south of Ballycastle.

    Ideal for us visiting Ireland for the first time as we were able to view areas around the house as well as going further within the same day. The house made it a lovely stay for the whole family. My 3 year old loved being in the garden at the front and watching the vehicles going up and down the road. My baby loved being outside in the shelter of the sun too. Over all we had a truly lovely two weeks stay and will definitely be back at some point in the future.

    The rural location meant we were blessed with quiet surroundings and animals a plenty enjoying the pastures around the property. The cottage was really clean with spacious rooms and bathrooms, a big bath upstairs and power showers in both bathrooms. Bedding was lovely and clean and the kitchen had room enough for the family. Granny’s was a great base for us to discover the sites and trails of the Giants Causeway Coast, as well as visit family in nearby Ballymoney. As many others have done, we left some Tips for Travellers in the guest book in the kitchen. Thoroughly recommended!

    Great location, comfy beds, clean and tidy. The only thing missing was a cosy fire for the colder darker nights but that’s not an issue for the warmer months. A*
