2BR Spacious City Centre Apartment
Great location. Nice big common area. Good cooking facilities. Car park is tiny so do not bring an SUV.

NIapartments: Coastal retreat with Mountain views
Had an amazing stay here in newcastle. The apartment exceeded our expectations! Very comfortable and felt right at home. We were pleasantly surprised to find a christmas tree in the living room and a board game box. Really well equiped kitchen, many adaptor cables which came in handy and a gorgeous view.

Waterside apartment with mountain views & garden
Just back from our stay the apartment was spotless and had everything you could need and more. It was easy to find and clear instructions for access. Walking into the apartment it was so homely and warm and the view was amazing. The beds were lovely and comfortable. We had 2 dogs with us and the outside patio and grass area were so handy and closed in. The apartment is so handy for nearby amenities shop , coffee shops etc. We couldn't fault the apartment and John's gift of wheaten bread was appreciated. We would definitely return and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Apt in Titanic Quarter with balcony - Free parking
This accommodation is a gem. Well positioned for everything in the Titanic Quarter and a 20 minute walk in to town. Also, it was on the right side of town for everything south of city. There is also a regular bus service which we didn't use. The free car parking was a bonus. The apartment was comfortable, we even got to sit on the balcony. We would definitely recommend this place and would certainly seek to stay again should we return to Belfast.

Castle Place
We stayed in Kevin's airbnb for the second time, and it was absolutely perfect again! The location is so so good with lots of cafes and restaurants around, and the beds are very comfortable, got a great night's sleep. Will continue to stay here again when we take a trip up to NewCastle 😁

The Batchelor Pad - Games Room, Balcony & Parking
The place was lovely for a group stay. In the perfect location with all the amenities you’d need. Hosts very helpful and responsive.

Waterfoot Escape
Fabulous apartment located very centrally next to great restaurants and cafes. Close to the beach with private off street parking. The apartment is clean, modern and has lots of extras like toys for kids and high chair etc. located on the third floor there is no lift but it’s not too taxing to take the stairs. You are rewarded with beautiful views of the mourne mountains from the kitchen and living room. Sarah left some lovely snacks and sweet treats for us, which is top tier Airbnb host behaviour! A true treasure we will be back! Thanks again Sarah.

Seaspray Cottage
This is an exceptionally good place to stay, with clever design to make the most of the sea views. The accommodation is excellent: clean, smart and attractive. Nearby access to the beach is the icing on the cake. A lovely part of the country. John was very helpful and quick to respond. Thank you, John!

Beautiful home in stunning location
Comfortable beds, fab bathrooms, warm and cosy, plentiful hot water and excellent kitchen. The sitting room was perfect for our needs and just gazing out over Strangford Lough was wonderful.

Superb Seaside Cottage
I’ve stayed here several times and it is a wonderfully beautiful place. We had a wonderful stay. A thin space in the Celtic tradition. What a wonderful experience with lots of nature passing by the cottage.

The Beach House Strangford
We had a lovely stay at Alex and Danny’s place with such a friendly welcome from the hosts. The location is beautiful, such a treat to wake up to and the cottage has everything you could need. Strangford isn’t far away and has some nice spots to eat and drink. Would definitely return. Thank you x

Hidden Gem, Ballyholme Beach.
What an amazing cottage! The photos to not do this place justice. We were a family of 5 adults and one child and Glen cottage could not have met our needs more. Kate was an absolute delight to deal with, quick to reply, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. We were left some lovely wine, coffee and chocolates that came in very handy indeed. The Seaviews are stunning and only a short walk to the lovely Ballyholme beach. The cottage was spotlessly clean, had everything you could ever need from an air B and B and it was so warm with plenty of hot water for the weekend. It is a very peaceful setting and like another review said, there was enough space to be together as a family but also plenty of rooms if you wanted to be alone. It was really easy to get into Bangor as well as a great road up to Belfast. There is a coastal route signed outside the cottage which we really enjoyed. We cannot wait to return to Glen Cottage in the near future. It really was a 5 star stay :)

The Boathouse at Old Court
Perfect location for a peaceful retreat or a romantic getaway. The place and surroundings are beautiful!

Drumhill Cottage, Comber, Co. Down
A lovely place - cosy, clean, quiet, and with helpful hosts. We particularly loved being able to do a 4 mile round trip walk to Nendrum without having to get in the car. Very much recommended, and I'm sure we'll be back ourselves 😀

Killyleagh house with sunny garden and Lough view.
27 hans Sloane square was a home from home. The views of the Lough are beautiful and the circular walk around the harbour and along the shoreline just keeps in giving. Having grown up in Killyleagh I am bias but the views never change and are as wonderful then as now. The house was beautifully appointed and I wanted for nothing, everything I needed was provided for. Would stay again.

Seaview House - Donaghadee seafront.
I have had the most amazing few days. Don’t want to leave really. Sitting in the lounge opposite the bay was amazing. You couldn’t wish for a better position to stay. Only slight downside was the shower. Don’t get me wrong it did the job but not powerful as I’m used to. All very clean. The locals all friendly & helpful. I’m sure I’ll visit again.

Island View a stunning seaside 2 bedroom apartment
Absolutely lovely apartment, stunning views, Peter and Holly were tremendous with communication and provided us with some fresh bread, eggs, butter and a bottle of wine, informed us of everything we needed to know and made some great recommendations for food and sites. We had a thourghly enjoyable time, the views and facilities were great. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Seaside Terrace - Deluxe Apartment
Absolutely fantastic stay at Marty’s place! I’m from the area but now live in England & my family & I were home for a wedding but needed somewhere quiet & peaceful to stay so my Mum & son had somewhere to escape to when we needed to go home early. The views of the Lough are stunning & can be seen from every room. It was amazing to wake up in the morning and look out at the water & see Sammy the Seal sitting on his rock sunbathing! My son loved it! The best (& sunny!) views for your morning coffee on the terrace. Having parking was a bonus & having some kids toys in the cupboard was a lovely & fun touch for my son. The apartment is well equipped with everything you need. Marty was such a lovely host. Kind, helpful, flexible & attentive. Will definitely be coming back for the next family wedding!

Bayside View Apartment
I took my parents for 2 days. The pictures do not do it justice best view of any Air B and B i have stayed at. We will be going again. Loved walking put to sea and Mountain views in both bedrooms. Mum and dad slept perfectly. Kind touches left for us like plenty of food and a personalised note. Really Really loved it Highly recommend it.

Luxury design-led apartment in Titanic Quarter
Ben's place is in a great location, close to excellent restaurants and the Titanic Museum. We enjoyed walking in the water area in the evenings. The area is tranquil at night.

Lagan Side View Apartment
Our first time in Belfast and this apartment was perfect! Great location 10-15 mins walk from city centre.

Lovely apartment overlooking harbour & bay.
David’s spot was amazing especially with the morning and evening views from the living room of the Ardglass Harbor. A short walk to everything downtown and a quick 5 minute walk to the golf club. Will most certainly be returning to David’s spot. Thanks David!!

The Surgery, self catering apartment.
