What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our first visit to NI.

  We were late getting in, it was dark and wet. We found the cottage easily and the owner, Eleanor, was there and greeted us warmly. She walked us through the cottage, showing us the amenities for our use and how things worked. There was also a bulletin board in the kitchen with instructions and a book in the livingroom with restaurant listings and pamphlets of local sights. She had a welcome basket for us which included freshly made wheaten bread, homemade marmalade, eggs and other goodies plus milk and margarine in the refrigerator!! We asked about a nearby restaurant where we could get a meal and she said follow me. We followed her into town where she suggested a couple of places. The cottage was very comfortable from the cozy living room with a small wood stove to the sun room where we watched Lorenzo blow in! The beds were very comfortable and always hot water for showers. We highly recommend Woodleigh Cottage and if we are fortunate enough to return to this beautiful area we would stay at Woodleigh. Thank you Eleanor!

  We contacted Eleanor, the property owner prior to our arrival at the cottage and arranged our meeting time.

  We were shown around the cottage and all the facilities available, including how to light the wood burner stove. Eleanor had also left us a welcome grocery starter hamper, including home made bread & marmalade. The cottage is very well presented and very well equipped, plenty of parking and a garden, BBQ etc to use if we wanted. All of the provided equipment and furnishings were of a very high quality, including the extremely comfy bed, it is quite obvious that Eleanor takes a lot of pride in the cottage for her customers. The location is superb, on the coast about 1.5 miles from Ballycastle which made for an excellent base for our touring around the area. Our wonderful views in the morning over the bay was of Ballycastle, Raithlin Island and on a couple of days a clear view of the Scottish Islands of Islay & Arran. We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting to stay in the area, especially as both bedrooms have their own en-suite facilities.

  The admiral is a lovely house and the location is good to see the surrounding area.

  The cleanliness could be better and the kitchen utensils, pots and pans are a mish mash of oddments thrown together. No sharp knifes, tin opener doesn't work all glasses and dishes are oddments. Unfortunately the kitchen sink was blocked on arrival, we reported it to the owner and he responded quickly and fixed it within twenty four hours. The shower heads need descaling they only spray from half the head. No clean linen for beds were provided even though we were there for two weeks. Only two tea towels provided so struggled to dry pots, the dishwasher was out of use and the dustbins were full on arrival. Has I said earlier the Admiral is a lovely house but unfortunately it appeared poorly equipped and maintained. On a brighter note the people of coleraine were lovely and made us very welcome has did everyone we met on our holiday to Northern Ireland.

  Woodleigh cottage was even better than we had expected.

  Beautifully situated with amazing views of the Antrim coast (in all weathers!) and convenient for nearby Ballycastle. We were able to explore all the local attractions from this base. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The 2 bedrooms are at opposite ends of the cottage which allowed us to escape from our teenaged sons! Beds were luxuriously comfortable, kitchen had everything you could need and plenty of storage space. 2 sitting rooms and a dining room provided plenty of living space along with the neat garden (as weather allowed). Eleanor met us on arrival and gave plenty of information about the cottage and area. If we return to the region we would definitely book Woodleigh cottage again. Thank you!

  If your looking for a comfortable and very relaxing holiday Woodleigh Cottage is the place to stay.

  Loved this cottage which offered stunning views. Kitchen was well stocked and Eleanor's presentation of an arrival food hamper was the most generous we've ever received anywhere. Still missing her home made bread and marmalade. Plenty of space for all. Local community were very friendly and the Cottage is in an ideal position to take in the stunning Antrim coast. For me accommodation plays in central role in holiday satisfaction, and Woodleigh Cottage delivers.
