We stayed at Whiskey View for 3 nights in July 2017. There were 4 of us (2 couples) and we found the house to have everything we needed. Downstairs there is a great kitchen - very well kitted-out with everything we needed and more, allowing us to cook most of our meals in the house rather than eating out. Very nice to have a dishwasher too! The sitting room was lovely, with comfy seating and a nice selection of board games. There is also a downstairs loo which was handy. Upstairs we used the master bedroom with en suite and the second bedroom and family bathroom. Double beds in both rooms (so many rentals only have twin beds in the second room it seems) and good bathrooms, with bedding and towels provided. The location was great as well - walking distance to the Whiskey Distillery which was handy for those of our group who were drinking, and an easy drive to all the places we wanted to visit. We also enjoyed an easy walk over to the seafront to watch the sunset on our last evening. All in all it was a great house, all as expected with the added advantage of being so well kitted-out.
What a lovely house! It felt spacious both upstairs and downstairs and was well-equipped. The shorty bunk beds in one room were ideal for me and my young son (who felt very grown up sleeping on the top bunk); my mum appreciated the en suite in the main bedroom. Despite being on a main road, the house is set back behind a wall, so we didn't hear any traffic noise. It's a gentle stroll into Bushmills (which had food shops, an off-licence, a super inn etc.) and a great base to explore the North Antrim coast. The weather wasn't quite warm enough to warrant sitting outside but it's nice that there's a BBQ available.
The Whiskey View was easy to find and made a good base from which to travel to the surrounding areas. Bushmills town was pleasant and the distillery tour kept us occupied whilst the rain passed. The house itself was very conformable to manage kids in and was secure enough for them to play safety outside. Overall a very enjoyable, stress free trip. Many thanks!

I would highly recommend this house to stay in. Very easy to book and the owner got back to me in no time at all. Payment was very straight forward as well. I felt welcomed before I even got there. It is just home from home. Lucinda was very welcoming and accomodated our time of arrival with excellence. The house was spotless and all amenities catered for. It felt as if you could live in this house the whole year round with no problems. I felt as if I could contact the owner or Lucinda at any time at all if I had any problems which of course we didn't. The toilet facitilties downstairs was a nice added bonus. Great space and quiet for a great night's sleep after days out!! Well done Whiskey View.. will definitely be staying here again.
