    All good.

    Very beautiful country house situated in a lovely part of Northern Ireland. If you want somewhere to relax and relieve the pressure of a busy world, this is it. Exceptional!

    It was so quiet and scenic and a perfect location for touring the area. Inge made perfect scrambled eggs. Charles had very helpful advice. The shower was lovely and hot. The bed was huge and warm. I’m so glad we chose to stay here. Highly recommended!!

    Inge and Charlie were wonderful hosts, their manor house is stunning inside and the grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was lovely sitting in the sun coming in through the windows. The bedroom was very spacious and everything had been thought of for our comfort.

    Nothing!

    Absolutely everything, from the moment Inge welcomed us at the front door to the relaxed atmosphere and the casual chats with Charlie in the Breakfast Room. We were really interested in the history of the house, too. The King Room is vast, and our bathroom was beautifully old-style with modern fittings.

    Stunning property, we stayed in room nr 1 which was very comfortable and had a very large and modern bathroom. Beautiful period building tastefully decorated. A freshly cooked breakfast was included.

    Charlie and Inge were wonderful, very friendly and wonderful to have a conversation with. The room was exactly like the pictures, with a large comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Would suggest if you’re booking with booking.com make sure you don’t pay through the website, just pay in cash at the property, as it is much easier for Inge as they don’t have a card machine. Really enjoyed the home cooked breakfast they provided, nice and hot meal! Excellent location, particularly if you have a car within driving distance of all the main spots to visit around Northern Ireland! Lovely couple, would highly recommend their property.

    The house was spectacular from top to bottom. Lovely location and a hidden gem. Beautiful grounds and lawns. The hosts/owners couldn't have done enough for us and the breakfasts were top class. Will definitely stay again amd would thoroughly recommend it.

    Nah, pretty much loved everything.

    A beautiful Victorian mansion in the middle of the woods in Northern Ireland, with lots of rabbits, and squirrels. Great location for exploring all kinds of locations - Belfast, Giant's Causeway, seaside, etc. Big thanks to the hosts, Charlie, and Inge, they were super cool, and friendly. Especially, thanks for the beer, it was really life saving )) Spacious rooms, comfy bed, big bathroom. Also, great breakfast. I had the full Irish / English breakfast each morning, but they also have continental. Overall, a great experience. I will always remember my time there with pleasure.

    The room options on booking.com suggested that we had booked one double and one twin room, but there were no twin rooms available. Instead the hosts kindly made up an extra single bed for us, so the teenage kids didn’t have to argue over the duvet!

    Fantastic hosts and an amazing location, would give it 6 stars if we could! The house was incredible and the rooms really spacious and decorated beautifully, home cooked breakfast was delicious!

    When booking it said private bathroom but you have to leave your bedroom and go down the hall it was very small and blind didn't work so if somebody was passing they could see in the window

    We went to see the Dark Hedges and it was super Close which was great the room we stayed in was very spacious Gardens were fantastic and rabbits to be seen all over the place view from bedroom window was lovely and breakfast was great

    The property is simply stunning. Pics are already impressive, but don't give it justice. The owners were very helpful, and made sure we had breakfast available almost two hours before the actual breakfast time on our last day, as we had to leave very early.
