Guest Reviews

- Herb347 (8/5): Nara fitted our purpose very well. Very comfortable, nicely presented, and obviously well cared for. - Location is perfect! Off the beaten track, very quiet, situated well, and has a lovely view with enjoyable walks right on the doorstep.
The property is very nicely presented with a well equipped kitchen area.
We will definitely avail ourselves of this little gem any time we need to stay in or around Cultra. Liked it just as it is.

- Vivien (10/5): - It was a lovely apartment, ideally situated for what I needed. Very clean. Lovely host
- Stephen (10/5): Excellent self catering accommodation - Loved the location and the privacy of the unit. Well enough away from the owners. It was comfortable and spacious and everything one needed was available. There was nothing I did not like
- Lynda (7/5): I had a lovely stay - 5 minute walk to the beach. Very clean. Lovely kitchen. The small courtyard was nice to sit in and got the sun for most of the day. Lovely towels, it had everything you needed Courtyard could have been nicer with a few more flowers. I feel there could have been a sea view if the large shed was removed. The ikea bed was a bit small and the mattress was a bit hard. The bed did not fit in with the rest of the bedroom furniture which was dark Maghony. The property was hard to find, a few extra signs would be helpful, the parking was a bit awkward
- Nicholas (10/5): -

Was nice and warm and extra heating if required. Quiet and cosy in the whole apartment.
- Lara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Annie (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stay here. The place is so clean and cosy. You can tell there's a lot of effort put into this place. One of the best spots we've stayed whilst visiting relatives in Belfast.

Very close to beach walks and parking right outside. Our host was very helpful suggesting places to eat. Communication and access was exceptional. We loved having 2 toilets so that whoever was in the shower/bathroom could relax. Only thing we needed that we didn't have was a sponge scourer ... we like to leave our cups really scrubbed n clean x
- Robert (8/5): We wanted some peace and quiet after an eventful few months moving home. We found it here. - Nice, secluded location. Warm welcome. Lovely coastal walk. Well stocked kitchen. Excellent variety of TV channels. Comfortable and well heated. Tricky to navigate your way down narrow lanes to the property on arrival but you get used to it. Otherwise all fine.

Nice patio to chill , smell and see the sea , wich it is only few metres away , very peaceful escape 🌊
Neal and Angela were very accommodating and friendly hosts, quick to respond in case you need anything. Home from home 🏡
We will definitely come back for some relaxing time ! ♥️
- Craig (10/5): Will definitely book again soon - Nice peaceful area, comfy bed I liked everything
- Karen (10/5): Exceptional - This was a beautiful apartment. Loved the beds and shower. We were able to find it via google maps but the additional tips provided by the hosts were comforting as it is in a community of houses. We were able to walk along the water albeit for quite a distance to get to a pub but it was very enjoyable walk. We stayed here with the plan to visit the Folk Park the next day...which was fabulous. I liked everything, the only thing was that I thought I was booking closer to the water and was surprised that it was back a short distance. It's near the water not on the water, if that makes sense. And I must not have calculated the distance to a location to eat as it was quite far. When I booked, I knew that I would want to eat in a restaurant.
- Laura (8/5): We enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your home. - The handle bars around the shower, wash clothes and Kitchen cooking supplies. Difficult to find.
- Anne (10/5): A beautiful apartment close to Belfast, Bangor and Strangford Lough - The apartment was large, comfortable and beautifully equipped. There was a private outside space for our use, though the weather was against us. There was nothing we didn't like.
- Patrick (10/5): Perfect Breakaway Location - Clean, comfortable and peaceful Nothing
- June (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): It was a short stay for us, but a very enjoyable one. Angela and Neil made us feel very welcome and will be a place to r - Cosy apartment in a lovely location that allows you to explore and enjoy the beauty of its surrounding areas and wider Northern Ireland. What’s not to like !
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): Quiet retreat - Excellent hosts lovely tranquil location. Can't say enough if you want a quiet retreat away from hustle and bustle Loved everything
- Mary (9/5): Beautiful Apartment in a Quiet Location - Beautifully decorated and furnished apartment, with generously sized rooms. The hosts were very helpful, even letting us know of a power cut whilst we were out. The bedding was odd, with 2 single quilts on a large bed. I found it slightly cold in the lounge (but I feel the cold a lot).
- Paulius (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location,great owners,friendly atmosphere. Definetely will be coming back!
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional - The kitchen was very well equipped, and the place was big and felt very spacious, airy and open. Everywhere was clean. The owners have put a lot of thought into making the place this good. It was exactly what we needed.
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pennypro (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Some days I even had a feline visitor. A very cute cat, well behaved and very affectionate. I was there over Christmas and New Year. It's the perfect place if you want some peace and quiet. It's only a few minutes walk to the coastal path.
The hosts are very courteous and helpful. It is apparently quite difficult to find. The cab company (maybe not a good idea to just use AI to book a car without the ability to give them the post code or proper directions) had difficulty finding the house.
Relying only on public transportation to get around is a challenge. The train station is about a 20-minute walk away and trains run twice an hour in both directions.
- Carmel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kellyann (10/5): Exceptional - Neil and Angela were perfect host contacted us straight away and sent a map with directions apartment was clean and lovely inside comfy bed and an amazing kitchen with milk butter and wheaten bread. Will def be back Nothing it was perfect
- Frilson (10/5): Excellent…perfect…restful…too short 😊 - Very well kept, clean, cozy with all the amenities needed by a traveller who love to cook like us. The beds are comfy which made our sleep sweeter 🥰
The location is perfect if you want a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre 👍 Hmmmm cannot think of anything.
- Marek (10/5): a place for a good rest and complete relaxation - very nice and quiet place well-equipped apartment with a barbecue areaa
- Tricia (10/5): Lovely property - Lovely warm welcome from our host. Some nice extras added to get us going in terms of milk, bread etc. Was great to be able to drive up to the front door to load and unload the car. Had my 4 month old in tow and the hosts had kindly set up the cot for him. Very comfortable, warm, modern, spacious and immaculately kept annex property. Nice coastal walk within walking distance of the property to blow the cobwebs away! Thanks very much we had a very pleasant and relaxing stay!
- Patricia (9/5): Excellent property very well equipped to a high standard -
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Great hosts comfy space
- Jill-anne (10/5): A Hidden Gem - A secluded gem set in wonderful surroundings. The apartment itself is light and airy with a contemporary feel to the open plan living . The bedroom and en suite bathroom are lovely sized too. Also, on a dark dull day, the light just flows in . There's nothing we didn't like
- Gordon (10/5): Exceptional. - The house is beautifully set up. Very modern. They have thought of everything. We should have stayed longer.
