“Cottage stay at Hillcrest”
Overall a great location with all you could want ample parking lovely location with stunning views the off the road location is not isolated but quiet and peaceful within easy reach of Larne or Belfast and the main road only 5 minutes from the cottage.
The cottage is immaculate and has all you want for family or couples and the Wi-fi is an added bonus Bob and Norma who run the cottage are lovely and could not be more helpful we will certainly book next year highly recommend the cottage for a stay or a base to go further.

“A wonderful place to stay”
stayed here with family for 3 nights and it was a truly wonderful little gem set in countryside just out of town. the owner and his family were very welcoming and the cottage had everything you could possibly want for a short break. will definitely stay here again.
