"Stayed for 8 nights and enjoyed the peaceful nights. Location is perfect for getting away from the city and catching up on some Zzzzzzzzz`s. Great walks along the coats to Holywood, Helens Bay, or Crawfordsburn Country Park. The apartment is spacious and has plenty of room for 4 persons. Very good hosts with a nice welcome pack of local produce, which is simply the best. Blessed with the weather only rained once!"
