The bedroom is nice and cozy, the kitchen and dining area very enjoyable, and the living room exceptional. You get this panoramic view on this exquisite garden from those large windows that pretty much cover half of the room. So much greenery by just sitting on those confortable sofas. Crack a window open and listen to all the birds outside while enjoying the view…

    The highlight stay of our holiday. This small yet cozy cottage is situated in a picturesque street of Hillsborough village. The town is very cute and provides nice shops, restaurants and two minimarkets. Belfast is only 15 mins by car far from here. The cottage is very well furnished, clean and equipped with all comforts you may need. Definitely a charming place to stay and to enjoy Northern Ireland.
