Cottage holiday rentals in Portballintrae

Iain and Laura couldn’t have been more accommodating - they went above and beyond for us! The cottage was immaculate and very cosy, with a lovely peaceful and private setting. It was easy to find, and parking was no problem. The bed was really comfortable, and we slept so well. The hot tub was a great size and the perfect temperature. Even though it rained during part of our stay, we could still enjoy it thanks to the cover. There were instructions for everything - from local takeaways to appliance manuals. They’ve really thought of everything. We’d absolutely love to come back again - a perfect relaxing break!

If our family could give Alan's place more than 5 stars we would! My younger son says 20 stars! Everything about this place was amazing and Alan thought of everything. It was clean, he left lots of goodies and toiletries to use. We were pleasantly surprised that the double bed in the main bedroom , although listed as a double, is actually what Americans call a queen. We absolutely loved the history of the cottage and the Byrne just outside (it was so nice to hear it bubbling by the window). Alan really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. If we are ever back in Ireland I am sure we will make a point of lodging here again.

Carolyn was there to welcome us to her beautiful cottage. It had all the character of the old buildings and country side. Hot tub was class and the cottage itself was clean and had everything we needed. Carolyn could not have been more friendly or helpful. We had the best time at her place and would definitely return!

Squirrel Cottage was such an amazing find! Very private, open planned and cosy too. It had everything you needed, the dressing gowns were such a nice touch especially when using the hot tub out the back of the property. Within half an hours driving distance to Portrush, Portstewart and the beautiful North Coast.

Carolyn’s place was beautiful, a peaceful area with beautiful architecture and nature surrounding it. the cottage itself was spacious clean and we all felt right at home

An absolutely beautiful cottage with stunning views. Every window looked out onto peaceful tranquility. Perfect inside with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Hot tub an added bonus! It is clearly a well loved home from home. Recommended!

We are a family of 4 who stayed at Matthew & Shelley's cottage with our dog Bailey. Matthew & Shelley were so helpful prior to, during and after our stay ended. The cottage is beautiful, warm and cosy and the hot tub is fabulous and was well used. The location of the cottage is extremely convenient to all the tourist locations in Northern Ireland such as the Giants Causeway and beautiful coastal route. We all loved our stay and would love to go back to such a welcoming house and so dog friendly

The place was lovely, cozy, and comfortable. I really like the effect of the fireplace below the TV. The kitchen is new and very nice, and it looked exactly like kitchens in those house remodeling shows on HGTV, like subway tiles, Dutch door.. And my friend really enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable cottage in stunning location with amazing views. Peaceful location whilst being walking distance from welcoming pub with good food, the harbour area at Balintoy and the rope bridge. Thank you for a fantastic few days!

Cozy cottage. We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic base to visit and see lots of places. Lovely location, beautiful surroundings. Nice and clean, beds were great and we all had our own en-suite.

We had a really enjoyable stay, the property is clean and spacious and was well equipped. It’s a peaceful property close to the river. Reasonable distance to the Giant’s Causeway & Bushmills, & lovely beach at Downhill.

Adorable and sweet cottage! We were comfortable and happy-the location was great!

Jax’s accommodation is top notch! No one could go above and beyond her impeccable standards for suppling a bountiful and luxurious stay…And this is my 1st time ever leaving such a complimentary review for any of the over 80 Airbnb properties I’ve stayed in. She showers u with kindness and hospitality. The amount of food provided kept us from eating out during first two nights of our 4 night stay. The open living area has been decorated in the most tastefully charming and cozy way. The upstairs loft bedrooms provide a cozy nest sleeping and dressing area. I had thought a designer had come in, but she has done it herself with only the help of her husband’s crafty handiwork, amazing… The only thing I could include as a warning would be that the bathroom is located downstairs off of the kitchen, so the physically impaired may find it cumbersome to navigate the stairs during the night. I’m an active 70 yr old, I had no problem with the adjustment. All said, highly recommend!

What a fantastic place. Thank you so much for sharing it with us while we were on holiday. Looking forward to coming back.

We hebben hier een fantastisch verblijf gehad. De cottage was comfortabel en smaakvol ingericht, was schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Verder hebben we genoten in het park rond de woning met bankjes aan de rivier. En last but not least hadden we een warm welkom en waren Shirley en Tom super aardig en erg gastvrij. Deze woning raden we zeker aan.

We had a lovely week at Ivy Cottage, Noelene was very friendly and helpful. The cottage was very clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at Murlough Cottage....the cottage itself is amazing and has everything you need. The surrounding area is dramatic and the views amazing on a clear day. It's ideally set for exploring the area with many things to see and do and peaceful to retreat to after a day sight seeing! Thank you, Helen

We spent 3 days at The Barn. It is in such an exceptionally beautiful location, with amazing views. The cottage is very clean, comfortable, peaceful and very homely. We had stunning weather whilst we were there - even managed to have our first bbq of the year! Gillian was very welcoming, friendly, responsive and helpful to any questions that we had. We 100% recommend staying at the beautiful 'Barn' and hope to return one day to explore more of the north of Ireland! x

We stayed here while visiting family in the area. It was so nice for us with small kids to have our own base that we could unload everything and come and go from. Eamon and his family were always very friendly and chatty when you'd meet them in the driveway. They went above and beyond making sure the place was stocked with all the essentials you might need. Place was clean, warm, private, great location, close to playground/town and has plenty of off road parking.

Lovely cottage with everything you need. Donna even left us bread, milk, and yummy chocolate biscuits to start our stay. Very clean and quiet. Rural location, so you would need a car, but there was ample space for parking. Wonderful base for exploring the local area and coastal sights, such as the Giant's Causeway, the Ballintoy area, and Glenariffe Forest Park (great waterfalls). Also great for seeing numerous Game of Thrones filming locations. From Donna's Cottage we were able to get to 5 of the 10 doors commemorating Game of Thrones (carved from wood from the Dark Hedges, an amazing avenue of Beech trees). Donna is an excellent host, making sure you have what you need without intruding on your privacy. Also very impressed with Northern Ireland overall, with its spectacular views from coastal cliffs, the friendly people, and the good, well-maintained roads.

Wir hatten 10 wunderschöne Tage im Cottage Masefield bei Jo. Die Aussicht aus dem Fenster ist kaum zu überbieten, ob vom Bett aus oder vom Esstisch, als wären nur wir und das Meer mit seinen Tides. Sehr gemütlich war es auch am Abend, als wir im Kamin Feuer gemacht haben und in aller Ruhe ein Buch lesen konnten. Im nahegelegenen Dorf gibt es einen sehr traditionellen Pub, Mary Mc Brides, mit feinem Essen und natürlich einem Guinness. Das Cottage ist sehr zu empfehlen um auszuspannen und nichts zu tun als zu geniessen, wir würden sofort wieder gehen. Bernadette und Stefan aus der Schweiz

Had a lovely stay at Sheila's property, house was spotlessly clean and tidy. Stunning views across the ocean and headland. Plenty of amenities within a 15 minute drive but yet location feels remote from the hustle of normal life. Highly recommend a visit to this property if wanting to get away from it all and appreciate the tranquility of this part of beautiful Donegal. Sheila is an excellent host and kept us informed at every stage. Many thanks Sheila 😀

This home was idilic- it was quaint cottage feel on the outside but modern and fully functioning in the inside - the host left home made scones - such a nice touch and so welcoming after a long journey - lots of local recommendations- gentle stroll to the Harbour and a sunset to die for- can’t wait to go back and highly recommend.
