Centrally located for great surrounding attractions. Spotless accomodation with welcome breakfast selection, fresh milk in the fridge and penguins too! (British chocolate bars). Overall a great stay.
A home away from home peaceful and quiet. The host left breakfast for us for the 2 days we where there which I thought was a very kind gesture. Explored the Antrim coast from our base . A very relaxing break .

Great Stay!
Very clean, comfortable and super responsive host. We had a fantastic stay. It was just the right size for our family of four.
Beautiful, quiet, attention to detail for everything. The fresh eggs were a lovely added bonus. Very easy access to roads leading to all the special places along the coast.

The peefect stay!
Rhonda & Gary have made such a comfy space to get some rest! Their land is beautiful and The Nook was the perfect place for our little family of 4 to rest after a long day before traveling back to Dublin to fly out. Thanks again!
The owner was warm and welcoming - couldnt do enough for us!

Lovely place to stay to explore the coastline
Excellent place to stay for the 4 of us. Big double bed was really comfortable (and I'm fussy)! 3rd bed also great and 4th bed suitable for our youngest.
Sofa huge and comfy, enjoyed a dvd from the collection and appreciated the breakfast, milk and coffee provisions. Heating worked well too, warmed up quick and dried us out after our wet walk at the Causeway!
Very welcoming, would recommend.
