Guest Reviews
- Dieter (10/5): Wir waren sehr zufrieden und konnten Carrickfergus und Whitehead mit dem Auto gut erreichen. - Die Ferienwohnung liegt am Rande von Straid in einem Bauernhof. Die Unterkunft ist nicht ganz so modern hergerichtet, aber es ist alles da, was man braucht. Die Betten sind bequem. Die Schlüsselübergabe war unkomplizert. Es war ein älterer Herr bei der Farm, der uns sagte, dass die Ferienwohnung von der Rückseite des Hauses über eine Treppe zu erreichen war. Die Tür war offen und der Schlüssel hing drinnen an der Garderobe. Das Auto konnte man vor dem Haus parken. Keine Beanstandungen.

I would return and recommend.
- John (9/5): Superb - Lovely bijou apartment. The outside steps, but not much of a problem
- Nigel (10/5): Immaculate farm house apartment - A very clean and well appointed apartment with a comfortable bed and seating. 20 minutes from Carrickfergus and well serviced by good roads - easy to find. Farm walks and interesting things to see on and around the farm. The farm shop could not have been more convenient - it was right underneath us. Patricia has made this a lovely place to stay. Thank you.
- Jeffrey (9/5): would not hesitate to stay there again - very convenient to places we wanted to visit
liked the fact that it is a working farm, horses, pigs, sheep, pond, walking trails
but not full of tourists
- Michael (8/5): Life in a farm - The unit is warm. free coffee, tea, milk, and cookies. Patricia is a very nice. Love the place.
- Laurie (10/5): - Our stay was a nice change from being in Dublin and Galway. The walk around the property is very relaxing. It was nice being able to spread out in different rooms.
- Donna (8/5): Very enjoyable, would recommend and go back and stay again - Location was ideal, lots of things to see and do nearby. Apartment, spacious, well equipped and clean. Shower had amazing water pressure!! Host's were very friendly and helpful. There was a humming noise, we were on a working farm so probably farming machinery of some sort. Seemed very loud at night.

- Rose (10/5): Exceptional - Such a shame they do not do breakfast only a rather expensive continental one.
- Andy (10/5): Really excellent facility and lovely helpful owner. thank you. really made the stay excellent. - Beautiful location in the Irish countryside.
Wonderful old farm building surrounded by fields and gardens. open fires in the shared lounge and breakfast room.
great farm shop on site. only 25mins from Belfast. It was all great actually.
Some have mentioned the expense of the breakfast. Ok its not a cooked brekky, but its and organic farm so it was all healthy and wholesome and rather wonderful.
- Jessica (9/5): Superb - The facilities were cozy and comfortable, you felt like you were a guest in a friend's house. The little efforts to make my 2 yo comfortable were unexpected and helpful; Farm fresh milk in a thermos at night, a toy tractor and books in the dining area, walking paths to the pigs, cows, horses.
Recommendations for our trip up the coast, this spot gets you into the country with quick access to Belfast or all points north. Next time we come back we will come here. The photos on booking.com don't do the space justice.
- Sammy (9/5): Superb - Beautiful setting and absolutely beautiful room Breakfast was very expensive (£15) for what it was. An americano and some buns. It's the only thing that let this place down
- Lorraine (10/5): Would go again -
- Peter (10/5): Excellent accommodation with the best of both worlds! - Surrounded by beautiful countryside. Very helpful staff.
Gave me a lift to the bus stop each day.
- Ella (10/5): Exceptional - The room was great! everyone was lovely. taxis were hard to get so having your own transport is a good idea
- Jamie (9/5): Superb -
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - A special experience - a gorgeous working organic farm with beautiful gardens and nature walks. My room was charming, comfortable and filled with special touches, such as tea and biscuits, and great built-in cabinets for storage. The bathroom was spacious and had a lovely view of the gardens; great shower too. Definitely get breakfast - delicious!
- Lysbelle (8/5): Very good stay on the countryside - New and comfortable apartment with everything needed to have a good stay.
Nice welcome from our host Patricia. A good countryside location. Slight purr heard during nighttime which could disturb a bit people sensitive to noise.

- Joanne (10/5): Love this place - We loved our stay here. Beautiful location, peaceful. Lovely, comfortable rooms with plenty of space and nice extra touches. Patricia is an excellent host, nothing was too much trouble. The sitting room/ snug was wonderful with it’s log fire, comfy sofas and a variety of board games and books to utilise.
It was a good central location for all the activities we ventured off to do. Will definitely be back!
- Susan (10/5): Peaceful location - Stayed here with my 11 year old son. Very peaceful. Our room looked out onto the garden, which was beautiful and lovely to sit in. Our room was spotless and spacious. pillows were amazing!! Plenty of tea/coffee and fresh milk was delivered to our room.
There is a tea room and a farm shop attached here. There is also a walk you can go on which I think is a mile loop.
I highly recommend going on a horse ride which you can book and are on site.
Friendly hosts and very helpful with local attractions.

All in all I would recommend for a stay only 25-30 minutes from Belfast
