Everything was available and extra touches from the host. All toiletries supplied really comfy bed and it was warm. 2 minutes from the harbour. Also had wi-fi and a microwave which isn't on your list of amenities which should be as it's important.

Great presentation very comfortable. Immaculately clean. Jenny had left us everything we needed for breakfast including some homemade goodies. Also little treats. She had thought of everything. Like a home away from home.

Excellent location in Groomsport. The weather was fab and was a great base for us on our week away. Everyone was really friendly, Jenny, our host, was very accommodating. There is a fantastic pub over the road along with the marina. Would...

It was a beautiful location a few minutes walk to the town.The sun was out so set in the excellent garden with sun loungers and a wine. The place itself was wonderful and was left enough food for a continental breakfast.

Gooseport is gorgeous. A lovely harbour overlooking Cockle Island with it's tern colony. Ron and Jenny were lovely. Cottage was amazing, a super little bolt hole. Spotless and well equipped. Lovely touches with the food and drinks supplied

Everything, planning to return as soon as we can. Jenny greeted us with a very warm welcome and was very helpful with suggestions of places for us to go. She even had treats handy for our dog.

Good location. Very peaceful. The accommodation was nicely furnished and very clean. The hosts were available if needed but weren't intrusive. Nice outside space to enjoy a morning coffee.

Unique purpose built cottage with a seaside feel. In a quiet lane with its own patio looking out on the garden. Included in the price a breakfast pack is provided with fruit juice, cereal, bread, milk, coffee and tea. You can let us know if you require gluten free or dairy free products.
Ron built our cottage! He is a retired building consultant and keen sailor. Jenny is a retired teacher. We love the garden, our dogs and our gorgeous beach two minutes away!
Groomsport is a seaside village of about 3,000 souls. It is a popular wee place with a harbour for yachts. Cockle Island is a haven for nesting Arctic Terns. Lots of places to walk and also has a great pub and restaurant.
