I have stayed at many self-catering around Ireland, by far the Bothy has spoiled me. My daughter Shannon and I found the Bothy to be this wonderful experience. Neil and April are there to welcome you, Fresh scones, bread, butter, jam, marmalade, eggs, milk, and cream. Which were the "bomb" as the kids in America say. Lol. Neil and April cater to your every need. The soft towels, the bed clothes, all beautiful. You need only bring your clothes, everything else is in the cottage. And I mean everything. An awesome stay. The whole history of the cottage, and the way it has been restored, simply amazing. All in all a lovely stay. Thank you Neil and April, Melodye and Shannon

This is the most amazing rental I have ever stayed in. It was much better than the photos and it looks great in those. It is very quiet and peaceful, very comfy and charmingly decorated. Everything you could want is there including a non-slip mat for the tub. The landlords are very nice and helpful and have a Black Lab named Lucy who took care of my need for Lab hugs. There is a garden you can wander in that includes a bar-b-que, table and seating. The location is perfect for the Northern Ireland coastal area and everything is very close. If you want to travel farther, Derry and Belfast are just an hour away. It doesn't get any better than this and deserves far more than 5 stars. The WiFi worked great - this was nice especially in a rural setting.

We loved our stay at the Bothy. After a long trip, arriving to freshly made scones and bread, and the best marmalade we'd tasted in years was heartwarming. The cottage is beautiful and peaceful, and April and Neil were so welcoming. Thanks, if we come back to Northern Ireland, we will definitely be looking to stay at the Bothy again

Had a lovely week in this delightful cottage. April and Neil were splendid hosts and have created a gem of a cottage in the Bothy. It is in a peaceful setting but very handy for the Causeway Coast and all that it has to offer. The beds and bedding deserve special mention, of a very high standard and extremely comfortable. The welcoming scones were delicious and we took the opportunity to light the wood burner a couple of times, just took the evening chill off the air and made the living room even cosier. Highly recommended.

Myself, my wife and our two boys (aged 2 & 4) stayed here for a week – it was excellent in every way. We received a very warm welcome from the owner April who went way above the levels of care and attention you would expect from a self catering supplier. We where greeting to fresh scones and home made bread which was amazing (thank you). The house itself is stunning, the photos although excellent don't do it justice – it has been restored with love and an attention to detail that is a real credit to April and Neil, very warm and comfortable – we where able to make ourself at home straight away. The kids loved the forested meadow out back – April had left them toys (again thank you). Its the perfect spot to explore the north.
The bothy was everything we expected it to be and more. We arrived on a cold wet windy day to be met by the owner. When we entered the cottage we were met with a warming log fire. The table was set with fresh baked bread , scones and Jam. It is perfactly situated for visiting all the tourist attractions in the area. The back garden which was for our use was a bird watchers paradise. The only down side was we only had a week.

We stayed at The Bothy for two weeks in June with our small boys and it was wonderful. April and Neil were wonderful hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and more to make our stay very comfortable. The cottage was super cozy and clean. The beds were super comfortable and we all had wonderful sleeps while there. We couldn't have asked for a better, more lovely place to come home to every evening after a day of sight seeing. I would definitely recommend The Bothy to anyone.
Thank you again April and Neil!! We have spoken often of The Bothy and will always remember fondly the hospitality you showed us while we were visiting.
PS - The homemade scones and the lit fireplace was such a wonderfully warm welcome after our very long, long journey.
