My friend and I had a lovely stay. The hosts were super kind and friendly. All the animals were super nice. And the cottage was very cute and quaint. We loved walking around Saintfield and trying all the local shops! We would definitely stay here again!

I absolutely loved my stay here at the cottage. It was close enough to drive into Belfast to explore the city while also being a quiet and peaceful getaway in the countryside. There were a couple days of heavy rain while I was here but it didn’t even bother me since the cottage was such a lovely place to stay for a cozy day in. There is a grocery store 3 minutes away by car and the kitchen is well stocked with everything that you’ll need for cooking your meals.The only hiccup I had was that it was a little bit hard to find upon arrival. There’s a tiny road off of the main road that you have to follow for a ways in order to see the property. I had to contact the host to clarify, but she responded quickly and once I had that information, the cottage was easy to find. Overall I loved it here and would definitely come back again.

We had problems finding the property - the phone satnav directed us to Ballynahinch Water Treatment Works, but the host responded quickly to our email by phone, and gave us better directions. She left a light on at the property, and the key in the door.Gardeners Cottage exudes charm and character...and will be lovely in the summer. The underfloor heating is insufficient. Upon arrival, the overpowering smell of bleach was hard to stand. The place was cold and damp, and the plug in radiator had made little impression. Sadly, there was mould on the walls, in the bathroom and kitchen cupboards. Cobwebs and dirt were in evidence. Maintenance is required to replace the broken skylight, repaint the windows and see to the electrics. What was obviously set up as a pleasant space requires some TLC. The cold tap in the bathroom is not attached to the sink. The kettle leaked through the switch, so we used the microwave to heat water for drinks. The WiFi was paused before 10pm, which made research online difficult. There was no welcome pack, and no interaction with the hosts. Another easy chair would be good in the bedroom. The supermarket in Saintfield was wonderful.
