The coach house loft

This property is very tired and in need of a big upgrade . It is opposite a disappointing beach which is not user friendly and the house is right on an extremely dangerous busy and fast road which is lethal to walk down .

Coach house

Comfy and cosy. Owner v pleasant and onhand to sort any queries immediately. Beautiful location on the coast road, but you are right on the road and its not easy to get on and off parking area. The property was fine but just needs a bit of an update and attention to a few details.

Great Antrim Coast location

This cottage has such a convenient location between sites on the Antrim coast and activities closer to Belfast. It was easy to find and get on and off the road. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the host had some good tips for touring when she welcomed us.

Very well maintained property providing an authentic Irish experience, lighting the fire for a cosy

Location was ideal for touring the Antrim Coast area and amenities to hand in Carnlough either driving or walking. Was a very relaxing and enjoyable break away.

Comfy, cosy and fantastic view

This cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed for our four night stay near the Antrim Glens. The view across to the Mull of Kintyre was fabulous, made even better when a large pod of dolphins swam by early one evening - thanks to our very helpful host, Gillian, for the heads up that this was about to happen! We felt very much at home here.

A beautiful quiet spot to relax and unwind

We booked 3 nights in the Coachhouse loft apartment and loved the quaintness and character of the building. Simply cross the road to be on the seashore. The kitchen was adequately equipped to self cater and Carnlough is only about 4kms away to get basic groceries. The bed was comfy, the sitting room had everything one could want entertainment wise and everything was clean and well maintained. It is also well situated for local attractions such as the Rope Bridge and Giants Causeway. Couldn’t be happier with our stay here.

Lovely, very comfortable, clean warm and homely.

The building doesn't give much away but the loft apartment is really lovely, cosy and comfortable and clean . On a clear night the stars are fabulous (no light pollution) and you can hear the sea from the apartment. A great spot for touring around.

Beautiful and cosy

A warm welcome by the owner. We where also left basics (bread milk eggs and butter) to get started which was a lovely treat. The apartment it's self was beautiful and cosy with the fire lit. And the views from the front of the property where stunning. Was a lovely winters getaway and would make a wonderful place to enjoy a summers stay. The apartment is a short drive from the nearest town/village and makes a great base for exploring northern ireland. Would highly recommend and with it being a dog friendly accommodation hard to beat. Thank you so much for the use of the rental we hope to book again with you in the future.

Cozy apartment on a very nice location

We had a great stay at the coach house. Gillian had decorated the apartment,ent with nice Christmas decorations which gave a warm feeling. The location is right at the sea which is nice. For the long nights we got a good set of dvd,s to watch. Unfortunately we had to leave after two days. Next time I would stay longer. Thanks 4 everything Gillian. Best regards, dirk-Jan

A pleasant flat on the Antrim coast

The living room and bedroom are reasonably spacious and well decorated. Although the bedroom window looks directly onto the main coast road, traffic noise was not intrusive. The friendly and helpful owner Gillian Thompson lives in another flat in the same building. In mid-May she had switched off the central heating, so the electric fires were needed in the evening. The kitchen supplies included milk, eggs, bread and margarine, but not paper towels or a sponge scourer. The lighting in the kitchen and bathroom could be improved.

Located between Waterfoot and Carnlough this beautiful stagecoach house has been adapted into apartments. The accommodation is clean, well equipped and nicely furnished. Welcome pack is greatly appreciated and Gillian is friendly and helpful. The sea views are amazing and the kids and dog loved Waterfoot beach. We will be returning!
