Cottage vacation rentals in Southend

We had a great stay at the Seaview Cottage! Hosts are really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we had really wet weather but we still managed to enjoy our stay and got use out of the hot tub! This place would be unreal in sunny weather! Lots of nice places to see and take your dog which is a bonus for us! We’ll definitely be back!

What a lovely stay we had at this amazing house! Great size for larger family get away. Suitable for mobility issues and the hot tub and games facilities gave a little something for everyone to enjoy! Not to mention the position of the house itself is spectacular for views as well as park directly across from it. Theresa and Andy were great hosts, very responsive, friendly and the check in details were simple. Will definitely enjoy staying here again!

Would highly recommend this place, extremely nice and clean, hot tub was perfect

Absolutely loved our stay, the place was immaculate, will definitely return. Hot tub was fantastic and the beach is less than a minute walk, same for the pub , shop and food. And meeting the gorgeous dog was lovely too

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 🤩

What a wonderful 5 nights we've just spent at Ballochroy Cottage, I just wish we were staying for longer! The views are simply spectacular and breakfast on the shore was a definite highlight of our stay. The cottage is extremely comfortable, with everything we needed. The bedroom is a very relaxing space with such a comfy bed, bedlinen and duvet that I'm going to get the same for home. The bathroom is a good size with a great shower. We loved coming back to the log burning stove in the evenings. For everything we wanted to do and see, the location was perfect. Karen and Colin were on hand if needed and were really helpful and friendly. We must recommend visiting Gigha and eating at The Boathouse. On a clear day there are stunning views to be had from the top of the highest point on the island. Behind the cottage are 3 standing stones we enjoyed walking to before breakfast one day. There are lots of places of historical interest to see and great spots for wildlife spotting. Fabulous!

We had an excellent stay in Sue's well-appointed, comfortable and cosy accommodation. We loved the view from the dining table! Nothing is very far from anywhere on Arran and Pirnhill proved to be a good base. Sue was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

Pristine and peaceful. The hosts live in the main house and are usually around to give help and local advice. Hamish the dog is an adorable bonus.

Super cottage, perfect for enabling a wonderful stay on Arran. Easy access to both the mainland and all that Arran affords. The cottage was full of character and charm and was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. It had everything we could possibly need, was extremely clean and well equipped.

I really enjoyed our stay and the host was so helpful in seeing us into the place. The heater was cosy warm and the kids loved the cow wood carving to help find the drive.

David’s place is in a lovely spot with great views over the Clyde and to Arran only a very short drive from the main coast road making getting around super easy. The place was spotless and everything had been thought of including leaving milk in the fridge and the fire ready made (which we didn’t light as the place is so warm and comfy). David was very friendly and messaged all the information we needed - overall would highly recommend.

Lovely place to stay in the middle of Bowmore. Great base for walking, cycling etc. on Islay. Lovely house with a stream through the garden.

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.

A beautiful little cottage with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Made for a perfect weekend stay for our group of 3 friends and we loved sitting out the front with views to the sea, Gigha and Jura. Friendly and kind hosts. Highly recommend and would love to stay again.

Lovely stay in an outstanding cottage. Beautiful and stylish though cosy with a great view and a great kitchen which has everything you need. Very clean and spacious. We were unlucky with the weather but sitting next to the fireplace warmed us up nicely. We were welcomed very friendly and helpfull. We had a delicous dinner in Killberry and a beautifull hike near Ardpatrick. Would love to come back with friends!

Absolutely beautiful location and accommodation. Everything was pristine, clean, and well stocked. The views from the home are stunning in such a peaceful setting. Nan was also incredibly helpful before and throughout our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Caoimhe's cottage was amazing, right on the ocean and close to all the hiking. The cottage had all the amenities needed for several days of exploring. Bed and linens were super comfortable and host and family made sure I had everything I needed for a 5 day stay. I would absolutely return to this lovely hideaway on the beach and would highly recommend to other travelers.

We stayed at the cottage for new year. Weather wasn't great but cottage was very cosy especially the bedrooms. There is a log fire and we arrived to logs and kindling. You can buy more at the Premier store 5 mins walk away. We had the dog and there is a wee garden there for her. Beach is 2 mins away for walk. Girvan is really underrated, great beach with awsome food van at carpark. Nice pubs and we had a great chippy at the marine and got a delivery from A1 both amazing. Also amazing coastline and no too far from Turnberry which is worth a look. Will hopefully be back during warmer weather.

I highly recommend maggies cottage! The host Sean is extremely friendly and very helpful! The place itself is pristine, absolutely spotless with all the necessities! Not to mention the amazing views of Glenariff. Thank you Sean!

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.

Flora's beautiful home lived up to and exceeded our expectations! It was cosy, colourful and we felt very at home from the moment we arrived. The welcome basket and clear, helpful instructions in and around the house were much appreciated. We loved the location and would have loved to explore the area more however the weather wasn't always on our side! It was the perfect base for us to visit family while also having some relaxing time to ourselves which we mainly spent playing games and reading by the wood burner. It is a lovely home and a beautiful part of Northern Ireland - we would love to stay again.
