We stayed in the self catering cottage as a family of four with two small kids. It was all just perfect for us. Two bedrooms and everything we could have possibly needed. Lovely garden for the kids and cottage was spotless. The location is just perfect for driving to different places. It was a great stay and we would recommend it to anyone. I also felt the price was super and appreciated that it wasn’t inflated because of the times that are in it. Thank you :-)

We stayed in this lovely stone cottage for 3 nights. It is set in extensive grounds near the stone gates to the main house. There are 2 bedrooms, bath with lovely large bathtub and a main sitting/dining/kitchen area that is very roomy. The kitchen has all the appliances and a washer/dryer which allowed us to do laundry half way through our trip. All the soap etc was supplied. We would stay here again were we to return to Ireland. This site does not include breakfast. The owner was very friendly when we arrived and when we left and left us to ourselves in between.

I’m writing this review on our 5th and last night stay here in Country Garden House. We’re having a great time in this self-catering holiday Let. When we arrived, we were greeted by Helen and John. They are very welcoming and friendly. That’s Irish hospitality I suppose.Our en-suite accommodation is very clean and it all has the basics and amenities that we need e.g. toiletries, dishwasher with dishwashing tablets, washing machine (that we didn’t use), stand fan (our lifesaver every night due to warm weather during our stay) and many others. We didn’t expect the homemade scones made for us by Helen. They were lovely. The location is very handy to many attractions here in County Antrim such as the Giant’s causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle, the Old Bushmills Distillery and Game of Thrones film locations like Dark Hedges, Cushendun Caves, Ballintoy Harbour & Beach (for GOT avid fans). Finally,during our stay here, we also visited the Titanic Quarter Belfast and we drove the Causeway coastal route. Highly recommend this Country Garden house to everyone. Many thanks to our hosts: Helen & John. We have had a fabulous 5 night stay.

We stayed in the Garden House, lovely apartment with two bathrooms (one full and one toilet). Very clean, nice and comfortable (tv with usb, magazines, full kitchen). With parking included. John and Hellen are super nice and attentive. The welcome scones were delicious! It is very well located for making the coast route. Highly recommend.

Can't recommend Country Garden House highly enough. Stayed in their Garden Cottage for 2 nights and it was perfect. Cottage is beautifully kept with everything you need in it. Brilliant big garden for the kids to run round in. Centrally located for all the major attractions on the North Coast yet still private and secluded. 100% will definitely be back!!

I can't praise this place enough. John the owner is a lovely bloke who was very welcoming and helpful but also left us be after we checked in. The grounds are gorgeous and location perfect. 15 mins from giants causeway, 15 mins from rope bridge and 20 mins from portrush. It was very central to everything. A number of lovely villages all local and steeped in history. Dark hedges 10 mins. Without a doubt would definitely love to come back again. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

This is one of the nicest B&Bs we have stayed at. Lovely room, huge bathroom, home made irish breakfast. In the middle of a meadow, in a lovely part of Northern Ireland, just minutes from imposing Giant's Causeway and the rest of the scenic coastal route. Loved the stay, as well as the area

Helen and John are the best hosts we ever met, the location is fabulous in the green, the rooms are litterally perfect, with pretty forniture and decorations of very high quality. The dining room and living room are at your disposal. When you arrive you will find two people that are really looking forward to have you as guests, like you are part of their family! I would recommend this place to everyone, especially the ones like us that loves romantic places and good company. Breakfast was delicious, with different dishes in the cooked menu and many nice items of continental type. If I would ever open a BB I would go learning at Helen and John's Country Garden House! Nearby (15 min) there is the Dark Edges and (10 min) Ballymoney with plenty of restaurants. Giants Causeway are approx. 25min away.

We spent three nights at this magnificent B & B. Our upstairs bedroom was beautifully decorated with a modern and spacious en-suite, and the special touches were a real treat. Helen and John have thought of every detail to make you as comfortable as possible. The breakfast room overlooked the rear garden and it was a pleasure eating there. As hosts, Helen and John did everything they could to make you feel welcome and were very helpful with ideas on restaurants and places to visit. A very special B & B with the warmest hosts you will ever meet. Couldn't recommended Counntry Garden House more highly.

We spent three nights here in July for the Armoy road races and loved every minute of our stay. Helen and John are excellent hosts, very warm and humble and it is very clear that all they wish to do is make there guests stay as happy and memorable as possible. Our room was beautiful with a lovely modern ensuite shower room. One of the wee touches that Helen and John have for their guests is a small fridge with fresh milk so that you can have your cuppie whithout using the ususal yucky long life milk which I disllike. Breakfast was delicious with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit juice, and fruit and then various cooked options to suit. The house itself is stunning and the gardens are amazing. I cannot emphasise enough how lovely our stay was. This B&B would be ideal for those looking to stay away from the hustle and bustle but accessable for the Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, The Dark Hedges, Bushmills, Ballycastle plus the beautiful North Coast trail.
