Excellent hosts and accommodation!
Elena and Tim couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. A very friendly welcome on arrival with suggestions for an evening meal and evening walk. Not only tea and coffee (and chocolate biscuits) in the room, but a fridge with milk and water. The Golf Club provided an excellent meal in an attractive location and the walk to the lighthouse was very enjoyable. Access to the pool was a real bonus and beneficial for an injured ankle.Much advice on local places of interest, obviously including the Gobbins cliff walk which would be particularly interesting for those unfamiliar with the area. The beautiful cats were kept out of view (in case of concern or allergy) until we requested an introduction. I did comment about the shower floor being a little slippery (probably heightened awareness because of the injured ankle) and this was being addressed as we left. Our only complaint is that we did not stay longer!

Many thanks Michael for your very kind review. As discussed, we have already addressed your concerns a about the shower floor by providing an anti-slip solution. We really appreciate your kind feedback and tip and hope your ankle keeps improving. You are both welcome back anytime.

Great place to stay
Can't recommend highly enough- we had a wonderful time staying with Tim and Elena in their fabulous home (we even had the pleasure of meeting the sweetest little family member!)
Endlessly helpful and knowledgeable about the area and the activities around whitehead - going the extra mile by all accounts by hosting us for our costume party. The location is ideal if you like hiking and scenic views, with the beach, gobbins cove cliff walk, whitehead railway museum and the blackhead walking trail just around the corner.
Honestly if I could give the experience staying here 10 stars I would! Definitely going to make it a point to stay here again! Thanks so much for having us.
