The location was beautiful and quiet, easy short drive to the local pub

Nothing at all!

The cottage was so welcoming and cosy. The owners had ensured we had wood and turf for the fire, soda bread, fruit loaf, milk and jam for when we arrived and the finishing touches to the cottage were lovely.

Really pretty cottage with all the facilities you need. Well-equipped and very cosy. Lovely planners who were more than helpful.

Stayed in September 2023

No freezer compartment in fridge, limits food choices, no shaver socket in shower room, lack of cleanliness of filter in shower which flooded shower room first use, extractor faulty and very noisy (host aware - awaiting repair), being woken very early by scratching/nibbling rat inside wall of twin bedroom (difficult one as rural location and rat bait boxes were seen, weather changed while there). No washing or drying facilities that we were made aware of whilst there. Cottage parking space outside cottage being taken by visitors there for a course. Unable to park close by cottage and offload dogs, our bags, heavy akward dog crates, in pouring rain after a full day out. Having impatient person interuppting us to move our vehicle quickly, so they could get out of drive as their course finished! Perhaps the boat could be moved off hosts drive, free up an extra parking space? If have guests at self catering cottage, ensure their allocated parking right outside the cottage is kept free.

Nice hosts. Lovely location near a tidal lough. Spacious. Great wood fire. Can take dogs. Woodfired pizza free gratis delivered by host first night. Lovely wood fire, logs etc provided. Little milk, fresh eggs, little jam, little butter, few slices of fruited bread provided in cottage to get you started. Water pressure good. Dishwasher. Not far for facilities.

Shower room cold. Water not hot and just warm, which didn’t last long. Construction materials outside door made for tight parking.

Countryside but close to nice village. Wood stove.

Nothing anyone can do about the weather. We loved the accommodation. We wanted something rural and that's what we got.

We loved the location. Right beside the lough but only a half hour drive to Belfast. Fresh baked bread left for us on arrival was a nice touch. Owners were very welcoming. Brilliant digs.

Remote location. Car required to access amenities. Ten minute drive to some local bars and restaurants.

Lovely private cottage next to quiet seaside lane. Friendly hosts. Parking available. Very quiet area.

One of the kids beds was rather squeaky hahaha so they kept on waking up whenever he'd turn over. Bolts just need tightening.

Hosts were super easy to communicate with. They prepared everything for our arrival, including some home made bread, eggs and jelly. There was no fuss. When we asked to buy some more bread (because it was so delicious), they ended up dropping what they were doing to make some for us, and gave it to us for free. Still a little embarrassed that someone would do that for us.

Fresh baked bread and jam were a lovely plus

Needed more fire wood. Actually everything was fine.

Nice little house. We loved it. Fresh baked bread was fabulous.

Be aware of the remote location and small roads if driving at night. The italian open shower style is very good but tiles get soaked in the sink area.

Tracey and Joe are very welcoming. We arrived in the evening, the stove was lit and lights lights were on. We really enjoyed the complementary food pack containing fresh eggs, butter, jam and bread. The accommodation is very charming, nicely decorated, kitchen very well equipped, comfortable, peaceful location and a 30min drive to Belfast. I would highly recommend!

The only thing was some high up hoovering needed, with some old spiders webs and dust maybe a better hoover round the skirting boards that would be it other than that a lovely place

Lovely place I'd book again, really nice people we got some fresh eggs and freshly made soda bread send over plus the log burner was lit before we arrived with plenty for us to burn along side

Cozy accommodation, welcome treats, wood-burning stove, beautiful surroundings

Nothing.

Never been to Northern Ireland before; this cottage's location meant that wr had the opportunity to see some countryside. Joe and Tracy made pizzas for uson Sunday and they were delicious, also the lovely scones too. Recommend Horseshoe Cottage.

The duvet was a little too light as the weather changed so we could have done with some extra blankets

I liked the location and the hosts were lovely and hospitable, its only a half hour from Belfast

Lovely little cottage right on the lough. beautiful scenic location. The owners were lovely to deal with, never in your face but always around if needed. lovely welcome tray on our arrival which was much appreciated as we were starving after travelling!

Since you ask - it was not something we would otherwise have complained about at all! The beds were not the best we have slept on, which was a shame as otherwise the accommodation and our stay was exceptional. It did not stop us having reasonable sleep and enjoying our stay, but it was the one thing about the accommodation that was slightly disappointing.

The welcome we received from Tracey and her family was outstanding. We were given a complementary food pack containing fresh eggs, butter, jam and bread, which was wonderful and greatly appreciated! The accommodation was very comfortable, with everything you could need, and the location was beautiful. We had a really lovely stay.

The photos shown online do not do this cottage justice. It is absolutely beautiful and the location is great- close to everything you need yet feels so remote. Hosts were amazing, just left us to our own devices but made sure to be there if we needed anything. Also a lovely touch was the jam, wheaten, eggs, milk, butter and soda bread left out for us on arrival. Could not fault this place at all, was absolutely brilliant and great value for money. Also is dog friendly which was great.

Stayed in July 2022

Nothing. There was nothing about that needs changing.

It's was clean, cosy, ideal location, peaceful. Just perfect. Can't wait to visit again. Friendly, helpful owners who made it feel like home, fresh bread, a welcome pack, an itinerary which was amazing. Just fantastic. The place was amazing, the people are amazing, we loved every second of our stay.
