The Poets Cottage

Damion was the friendliest host, he left a gorgeous welcome basket and showed my daughter how to feed the sheep which she loved.

The cottage was perfectly placed so we could have easy to access day trips to the Giant's Causeway and Belfast. It was peaceful and a lovely place to return to after a day of exploring the area. We would definitely be coming back!

Poets Cottage is perfect!

Peaceful, beautiful setting, cosy, warm, clean...amazing. We had a friendly welcome from Damian along with a basket of Irish goodies and roses (it was valentines day!) The cottage is clean, cosy, underfloor heating throughout, spacious bedrooms and kitchen. We loved the pool table and trying to play ping pong. Dogs loved it too, plenty of floor space to relax after busy days out. We would definitely stay again if (when) we return to Northern Ireland.

This cottage was a home from home we loved it so much it was so hard to leave it was so quiet and relaxing can't recommend it enough if we came back to Ireland again we would definitely stay here

Super cosy accommodation for a week.

Lovely quiet situation and everything we needed. We are from Edinburgh and we were attending a family wedding in Ballymena so the cottage was perfect for us. Thank you to our host Damian who was very kind. Lots of goodies on the kitchen table and the loan of an iron and ironing board too so we could dress up for the Big Day. You will soon find out more about the history of the cottage from a very special book about the local poet who once lived here. Perhaps you will be inspired to write one too? Say goodbye to the wee birds, cattle and sheep before you leave.....

We had a great stay.

It’s a quiet location, with two friendly sheep in the field nearby. The owner is friendly and helpful and had a wonderful sunflower and wildflower field for charity to look round. The cottage is clean and cosy and has everything you need. My sons loved the dining table which converted into a pool table - we all had a go. Portglenone is fairly centrally placed to see lots of places, and there is plenty to see. We went to the Antrim coast to see castles and lovely long sandy beaches. We recommend a stay.

Fine location.

Friendly owner

We are just back from our week stay at Poet’s Cottage.

A lovely rural setting, surrounded by farmland. Roughly 45 mins from most places ie. Belfast, Giants causeway. Clean and tidy cottage with Washing machine, dishwasher etc. Has everything you need for a quiet, peaceful holiday.

The cottage was great like home from home the owner was very friendly and helpful if I ever go back to Ireland I would book it again

An excellent property for us - provided a great base for trips to the coast and locally.

The pool table was great fun on a rainy afternoon. We enjoyed watching the cows and sheep and being surrounded by countryside. Damian had thought of everything we needed - and his welcome basket full of locally produced goodies was the best we've ever had! I'm a now a Tayto fan! A great stay.

If you want to find peace this is your destination.

The cottage has been renovated to the highest standards, and the owner only too pleased to provide your every needs. This is life as it was, brought into today's world. We had a wonderful time here. Thank you.

The cottage is well located in the countryside for visiting the area.

It’s handy for Portglenone and local services. There are plenty of local woodland walks. Damian is very helpful and provided everything necessary for an enjoyable holiday including a nice ‘starter pack’ of local produce.

Very homely, we all enjoyed spending time in the kitchen playing pool!

Quiet location, friendly host.

This property was amazing.

Very spacious and clean everything you would need and only 5 minutes from town but very peaceful. Owner was fantastic messaged to make sure we arrived safe and left a hamper of stuff you would need to save you going back out to the shop on arrival. Milk in the fridge and tea and coffee there to use aswell. Meet damian and his dad and both very pleasant and can answer any questions you would have. Will definitely be using again

Great location, spacious, enjoyed the facilities and games.

This is the place to be if you want to be central to all the main attractions in county Antrim. Also a very quiet countryside area. Your nearest neighbors are some cows and two very friendly cats. Would recommend this cottage without any hesitations.

Overall very enjoyable stay in a very comfortable cottage in a rural setting with good facilities and very friendly owners .

Welcome pack was amazing. A hair dryer and a few extra cooking utensils wooden spoons, whisk, tongs would have been a bonus.

We had a lovely stay at Poets Cottage.

The cottage was well equipped, with comfortable beds. It was nice and quiet. My dog and granddaughter enjoyed the cattle and playing in the fields. Damien allowed my daughter and granddaughter to drive his tractor, much to their delight. We would stay there again without a doubt.

A beautiful cottage in an idilic location.

Spotlessly clean and well equiped. The owners were exceptionly helpful and friendly....

We loved the cottage and it was the perfect position for exploring the whole of NI.

We appreciated the welcome basket. Some info on dealing with rubbish and recycling would be helpful along with the welcoming notes

Great little cottage and good communication.

The pool table is a great addition!

Very helpful and friendly owner and family.

Lovely cottage definitely hope to visit again soon.

Lovely short family stay.

Nice little extras including a welcome hamper.

This was a lovely clean clean comfortable cottage, the owner was very friendly and helpful.

The only improvements I would suggest would be better kitchen equipment e.g oven dishes and wooden spoons and a frying pan usable on the induction hob. But we loved our stay and would stay again.

We had a great stay at the poets cottage it’s a beautiful place the pool table was an added bonus as well as the welcome basket was a really nice touch.

Our host couldn’t have been more helpful either. Would love to come back when the sun flowers are out in bloom. Thanks again for a lovely time Mark and Lucy

The cottage was lovely and clean and warm on arrival.

It is in a lovely rural location and central for exploring Northern Ireland, Easy reach of Belfast, Antrim coast and further Derry. Facilities such as shops and a good pub/restaurant in Portglenone. There is everything you need for self catering but one or two small items missing such as a colander. The owner was friendly and helpful but not intrusive. In all a lovely place and we would return and recommend to friends and family

Very comfortable.

The welcoming pack of groceries was much appreciated; I wish I had known before shopping on the way to the cottage. Enjoyed being able to feed the cats and sheep!

Was given instructions upon arrival and for the keys.

Entering the dwelling we had a basket of foods and bunch of flowers. Lovely gift. The owner met us who was very polite and easy to talk with. Was a quiet quaint lovely rural place to be, absolutely at peace with your own thoughts. Am going again next year. Beautiful..

The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and the welcome basket with essentials was so lovely.

The fresh flowers were so pretty and a sweet touch

The cottage was located in a very picturesque location surrounded by beautiful countryside.

It was comfortable, clean and our host Damian was very attentive. We appreciated the welcoming basket that was waiting for us as well as a vase of colourful wild flowers. Oscar and Bella, our dogs, had a great time as well.

Great cottage in a beautiful countryside location.

Well equipped, very clean and comfortable cottage and a very much appreciated welcome basket when we arrived at midnight. Owner very friendly and helpful.

Lovely owner very helpful the cottage was very clean everything needed was available - thank you for the lovely welcome basket - the cottage in the heart of the countryside very quiet and peaceful ideal location for travelling to all what Northern Ireland has got to offer would highly recommend
