Fantastic coastal break

We had an amazing stay at Portree to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house is fantastic - so comfortable, cozy and spacious. The added bonus of the hot tub, Nordic BBQ hut and games room makes this the perfect place for a get together with family and friends. Thanks so much - I can’t wait to come back sometime!

Beautiful property, great location

The property is beautiful and was plenty large enough for our party of seven adults. The amenities are great and the WiFi is strong throughout the house. The owners go out of their way to make sure the details are all correct. The only issues are that because it’s right on a rocky beach, there are plenty of sand flies that find their way into the house through open windows, etc. Also, we stayed over new years and it was difficult to contact the manager - but this is understandable given the time

This was without doubt the nicest property any of us have ever stayed in! It has everything you would need, including hot tub, bbq hut, games room and a huge outdoor garden space. The online guide to the property was so helpful and the host Daniel was always quick to respond and very helpful if we needed anything. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back in the future!

Second time to stay here! Very well equipped house. Beds comfortable! Very clean. Great house for spotting seals, dolphins and sea birds. Beautiful sunrises. Lovely cosy blankets to wrap yourself in while looking at the ever changing view across the sea. Great walks around the area. Loved the new games room. Dan responds very quickly with any questions.

I knew the house was going to be beautiful looking at the online photos, but when we actually entered it was stunning. Beautifully decorated and well fitted out. The views are amazing. We started with 3 ducks and by the time we left on Saturday there were 8. Lots of space for the 4 of us.

Exceeded all expectations

This property is a real gem - fabulous location for exploring the Antrim coast and glens, this house is spacious, peaceful and comfortable. Extra touches like soft towels, toiletries and basic kitchen supplies made our stay easy and we even managed to watch Dolphins off the coast while making breakfast one day. The house is actually nicer than the photos on the listing and suits all age groups, so even in bad weather there is still something to do. We had a great stay and will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Taylor

Host profile image
I manage the property as part of our family business in holiday lets. I currently live in Sheffield but love to travel around Europe and especially the UK .

Why they chose this property

We were on a family road trip up the coast road to see the sights, and stumbled across this property for sale. We instantly fell in love with the location and saw the huge potential it had. After the renovations I'm sure you will agree it is a dream property.

What makes this property unique

The views and location are obviously the main unique benefits to the property, but there are little features everywhere within this property that truly make it an individual home from home. From the dual aspect fireplace & the seafront hot tub, to the Nordic hut in the 2 acre secured garden, everyone will find a special place to enjoy.
