Cottage vacation rentals in Holywood

A lovely warm welcoming place to stay. Mike had so many personal touches to make you feel at home. The artwork and the garden around the house was beautiful with so much to see. A short drive to great hikes in the Mourne mountains. And with the hot tub and the film projector there was plenty to do in the evenings.

Elsie’s Cottage is a nice and relaxing place to stay. Check in was very easy and seamless. Yvonne gave us all of the information we needed and even communicated everything we needed to know prior to our arrival. The hot tub is a great addition!

Fantastic host, went out of his way to make our stay perfect… The cottage and surroundings is perfect for a relaxing time away… Will deffo be back again 😁 Thank you very much Martin and wife

Welcoming, charming and friendly host, who provided all the amenities we were looking for. Very comfortable and a great place to return to after a full day out visiting the sites and sounds of Belfast. We opted for using buses and to walk to get around. We were very near a good bus route into town.

Absolutely a great place to stay. Very clean and plenty of room!! So cute!! Loved being on the water. Didn’t want to leave!

Just back from the gate house 🏠 We had great time and very nice and peaceful We will be back soon Thanks Chris

We really enjoyed this little cottage. It provided everything we needed. Janet had provided welcome snacks and wine. She also responded quickly and kindly to any questions we had. We had sunny weather and sat out in the back garden which was well kept. Thank you Janet for being lovely host.

Riverside cottage was so perfect in every way from the warm welcome from Alan to the lovely treats. The cottage is fab, it’s beautifully decorated, the hot tub is a great touch, we had a memorable stay and will definitely return again soon 🤩

I stayed at this lovely cottage for 10 days and absolutely loved the atmosphere. The place is peaceful, charming, and felt like a real home away from home. The hosts were very polite, welcoming, and always up for a friendly chat, which made the experience even better. I brought my dog along, and it couldn’t have been more perfect for us. The garden is secure, which gave me real peace of mind, and I was able to safely leave him alone when needed. The resident dog is also an absolute sweethear, and a lovely companion around the property. Parking might look tight at first glance, but I was able to comfortably fit my Toyota Hilux and still close the gate, perfect for those doggy clean-downs after walks. All in all, a fantastic stay. I really appreciated the warm hospitality and dog friendly setup. Already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

Lovely stay with the family. Felt very homely and had everything catered for. Steen was super responsive and even allowed us to stay a bit longer due to the weather forecast. Thankyou for enabling a great week with the family.

Great stay! We all felt right at home, the stay was super comfy and the views were amazing! Location is ideal for anything you need too, will definitely be back!

Lovely long weekend stay in Joanna’s cottage - super cosy, beautiful surroundings. Lots of outdoor space for the kids to play, and great that it was dog friendly too. Joanna was a great host - clear communication & quick replies.

The cottage was excellent in every way. Well-fitted out and spotless. John and Roberta were responsive, engaging hosts. A month was well spent, indeed. We could recommend the cottage without hesitation!

Exceeded our expectations for sure. Enjoyed every minute. Host went out of her way to meet with us. Cottage did not lack anything. Area was quite and in the middle of nature.

I have no single complaint about our stay. beautiful views, peace and quiet yet close to everything. we will be booking again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Beach Shack, it was truly a little haven. The cottage is extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly need - Natasha is such a thoughtful host! Along with the fairy lights, the cosy interior and incredibly comfy beds, it was a very relaxing stay. We were sad to leave but will definitely be back.

Heather you are a fantastic host and The Pink Cottage is a little slice of heaven, we thoroughly enjoyed doing absolutely nothing but sitting watching movies by candlelight, watching the lights twinkle over the Lough at night and snuggle up listening to the wind outside, it was just magical. We enjoyed the summer house, it was lovely to sit and relax there with absolutely nothing in front of us except for the view! We also seen the badger three times which my wife was very excited about. Overall we loved The Pink Cottage, and loved all the little personal touches you have brought to it. Thank you Heather! We will definitely be back to The Pink Cottage! Sam & Mel x

Beautiful house has everything you need. Hosts are very helpful and responsive. Cupboards had essentials for our arrival with some beautiful homemade brown bread and jam. House was spotless throughout. Beds were extremely comfortable. A great place to stay.

Our stay at the Studio was just what we needed. A place of calm. The Studio was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The locally sourced Breakfast basket & thoughtfully stocked fridge were really welcome. Sara responded promptly to our messages and she thoughtfully suggested a slightly delayed check out time which was very helpful and much appreciated for our situation. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings of the coastal path and Crawfordsburn Country Park. Thank you for ensuring our stay at the Studio was just what we needed.

What an amazing little spot to stay on our first trip to Ireland!! We felt right at home and Elizabeth went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and convenient for us as possible. We loved visiting the cows and goats and the sweet puppy. We spent a whole afternoon walking all around the neighbourhood, absolutely beautiful scenery. We would absolutely stay with her again if we are on the right side of the Atlantic for that!!

We had a great time at the host place. A beautiful place to stay and the host was very friendly and welcoming helping with recommendations in the area very informative.

Beautiful location. Very peaceful with a great view. The house itself was spotless and very cosy. Definitely worth booking!

A Tranquil Northern Ireland Retreat – Highly Recommend! Dear Hugh and Jacky, My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at your beautiful place during our visit to Northern Ireland, and we cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had. The peaceful surroundings were the perfect escape, allowing us to truly unwind and enjoy the serene atmosphere. The thoughtful touches, such as the fresh apple juice, milk, bread, and especially the delicious organic eggs, added such a personal and generous touch to our stay. It’s the little details like these that make all the difference, and we truly appreciated the care you put into ensuring our comfort. Thank you again for making our stay so memorable and peaceful! Warmest regards, José Diego and Maria Monroy

We had a great time and the accommodation was fantastic in a lovely part of the world. The house was clean and perfect for a family of four. Well located and close enough to Belfast and a trip to giants causeway. Whithead itself was a nice seaside town and the house was close enough to walk down and enjoy a pint. Pictures of the outside of the house don’t do it justice… bigger than it looks! Modern amenities all good and Keith was very accommodating and friendly. Thank you for a great few days away.
