Absolutely mind-blowing location with jaw-dropping views! Super friendly and helpful hosts, fantastic for dogs. Comfy bed, cosy living space, enclosed garden, and secure parking. Already planning our next visit! Free wi-fi, free parking, well-equipped kitchen, flat-screen TV, amazing hiking. Loved that pets were allowed, and the option for cots was great. No smoking on site. Can't wait to go back!

Great value for money, cozy and well-equipped room with a lovely view of Binnian. The location was peaceful and close to amazing walks, and the staff, especially Aileen, were helpful and accommodating. Can't wait for our next visit!

The breakfast option could have been better.

The bathroom in Bracken Cottage was fantastic. It had a modern shower and was spotlessly clean. I loved the warm, cozy feeling it gave me after a long day of biking. It was just what I needed to relax and refresh myself.

Personally, I found the bathroom a bit small. But hey, some people might actually enjoy the coziness!

Amazing countryside views and a peaceful and relaxing location.

There wasn't anything we came across that we didn't like or had issues with.

The Great Outdoors Experience

Stepping out into the beautiful garden at this beachfront property felt like stepping into a secret oasis. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers created a serene atmosphere that transported me to a world of tranquility. With access to a terrace, I spent countless hours basking in the sun, sipping my morning coffee, and indulging in the breathtaking views of the surroundings. The feeling of being surrounded by nature was simply unparalleled, making my stay at this holiday home a truly rejuvenating experience.

Limited Airport Options

The furniture and decorations had a traditional yet elegant feel, which made me feel right at home. The general areas of the cottage were spacious and easy to navigate, perfect for senior people like myself. Additionally, the cottage was designed with accessibility in mind, with thoughtful features such as grab bars in the bathroom and easy-to-reach light switches. It was a delight to stay in such a well-designed and senior-friendly accommodation.

If I had one small request for a better vacation for senior people, it would be to have more assistance available from the children working there. While they were friendly and helpful when we needed them, it would have been nice to have someone on hand to help with any additional needs or concerns that may arise during our stay.

Loved the terrace and free parking. The garden and patio were great too. Plus, I could actually use the free WiFi! Who knew that was possible these days.

Oh, how I missed the inconvenience of towels being provided. It's so much more fun to bring your own and pretend you're on a glamorous camping trip.

The Stay at Bracken Cottage was an absolute delight! Not only did I have access to the beautiful garden, but I also had the pleasure of enjoying the nearby beachfront with its terrace and stunning views. The free private parking and WiFi were an added bonus, making my stay truly convenient.

Absolutely nothing.

I had such a relaxing and rejuvenating stay at this peaceful cottage. The location was perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I thoroughly enjoyed the nearby walks and my dogs loved the secure garden. The cottage itself had all the essentials and even some homemade biscuits as a good surprise. The hosts were friendly and helpful, making my stay even better. The only downside was not having a designated area to dry my clothes, but it didn't take away from the overall amazing experience. I'm already planning my next visit to this fantastic dog-friendly hotel in the fine Ballymartin countryside.

I absolutely adored the beautiful decor of Bracken Cottage. The charming floral wallpaper and soft, cozy furnishings made me feel right at home. The general areas were spacious and well-maintained, making it easy for me to navigate as a senior woman. The children working there were always on hand to offer assistance and ensure my comfort.

I would have loved to see more grab bars in the bathrooms for added safety.
