A wonderful property, tastefully fitted out and a superb location. It was all we could have wished for in the way of comfort and facilities, the additional WC was much appreciated. We could have sat for hours gazing out to sea for the picturesque window of the lounge. Glenarm itself id a charming small coastal village. The property is close to the Glenarm estate which is well worth a visit to its garden and woodland walk. There are further walks around the village and the surrounding woodlands and you are on the very scenic Glens of Antrim coastal road.
The host Rebecca was extremely approachable and helpful and clearly puts a lot of effort into ensure her guests have an enjoyable stay. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this property to future guests.
Wonderful well equipped cottage with fantastic views
Great place to spend a few days on the Coastal Route. Stunning views from the living/dining area & one of the bedrooms. Thoughtful touches like tooth brushes, shampoo & soaps as well as a much appreciated welcome basket. Close to many interesting sights & in a cute village.
Stop your search- this place is awesome. Our family could have spent hours sitting in that window looking at the views. Great location to explore so much nearby- Giants Causeway, beautiful Antrim Coast, Carrick-e-rede, Dunluce Castle, and so much more we didn't get to explore. Great playground and small beach nearby we could walk to that our kids loved. The place itself was the cleaniest rental we have ever stayed in, the beds were comfy, the kitchen was wonderful and well stocked, washer, dryer, dishwasher. Thoughtful gift box of treats left by very responsive hosts. Our only regret was not staying longer, we absolutely LOVED it here and were sad to leave.
Wonderful communication with very friendly and informative owner! The view of the water was wonderful! We saw dolphins swimming one morning! The room sizes are a little tight per American standards but all was very clean and comfortable! We would stay here again! Thank you!

Everything was perfect… I definitely would recommend The Lookout…and I want to return there sometime! The views were amazing and the house was so cozy and clean 😊
We loved our visit to The Lookout in Glenarm. Ruby's place was very clean and well stocked for our group of four. Glenarm is a lovely beach town to visit. The views from the picture window were lovely and so relaxing. We would definitely recommend staying here for your holiday. Ruby did an amazing job of making us feel welcome.
