"We loved our stay at the Old Inn - rooms were nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Spa facilities etc were all beautiful and had a lovely relaxing atmosphere. Restaurant was really good - lovely food, great service and attentive staff. Young waiter and waitress (I think called Leo and Sofie) both really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great quality and freshly cooked, ordered from a menu rather than buffet. Any and all staff we encountered were friendly, chatty and helpful. Love the general atmosphere - chilled out, laidback, peaceful with rustic decor and good lighting etc. No complaints - would definitely recommend and stay again."
The Studio Helen’s Bay Luxury Seaside Cottage - 5 minutes walk from beach
10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay during this fall at “The Studio“ which was wonderful for two of us to spend a relaxing week away. Sara is a hostess extraordinaire! She provided us an excellent guide book of recommendations for getting around town & even had a semi-stocked kitchen waiting for us as we checked in a bit late. All the essentials to make us feel at home: Irish butter, milk from a local dairy, fresh pressed apple juice, homemade granola, jams, bacon, tea and coffee.Helen’s bay is a charming, quiet area between Belfast & Bangor. Probably more ideal if you have a car, however we made do on foot just fine. We’ll be returning soon for another happy time by the sea!"
Edwardian Beach Villa in Whitehead, Beach Front Period Edwardian Villa
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful property! From the amazing Edwardian home (tall tall ceilings, lovely windows looking out over the water, wainscoting, gracious doors, renovated kitchen and bathrooms) to the stunning location: all A plus! Did I mention the fresh baked loaf of bread, butter, jam, milk and eggs all waiting for us? So thoughtful! Only issue was we couldn’t figure out the combo/lock system as our phones hadn’t switched to the UK eSIM so we missed that info email. But! We pressed the doorbell (probably way too many times lol) and the owner spoke to us via the bell, walked down to show us in and around the house! Loved our stay, would def book again!"
