Top notch B&B

We enjoyed our stay at bay cottage,Elizabeth our host was very welcoming and made us feel at home,the room was immaculate well presented clean and tidy with tea and coffee facilities,lovely modern shower with complimentary shampoo and shower gel,delicious cooked breakfast with home made bread and jams as well as a choice of cereals and fruit Due to the rural location a car or cycle is recommended as no public transport locally,there is a lovely little pub 5 mins walk away. This is undoubtedly the best B&B I have ever stayed in,fantastic service from Elizabeth and nothing is too much trouble,we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this lovely place and would most definitely stay again

Elizabeth was such a gracious host. We enjoyed our stay very much in this tradiotion Irish farmhouse. It is not modern but so comfortable. It felt like a warm and welcoming home. Located right on the shores of Lough Neagh, You look out your bedroom window and have a beautiful water view. If you drive it will be fine, but if yo taxi or uber it gets pricey!
