    We loved the fact that the host had decorated the house for Christmas. The host was available to answer any questions we had and to make recommendations to us. Her dad even dropped us into town so we could go for a meal and drove us home again...

    The Cottage is located in a beautiful part of Northern Ireland. Just 15 mins from town, it was the perfect place to take some ‘time out’. Lynda is a brilliant host with excellent communication. She made the whole process easy. The cottage is well...
