    “After staying in other Hogans propertys we picked Granny's after seeing all the wonderful reviews and were really looking forward to our break away for the first week in March, however our experience doesn't seem to have matched the reviews we had read, and unfortunately we did leave underwhelmed.”

    The location was fantastic with everything you would want to visit a short drive away. The house was tidy with a lovely bath to soak tired muscles after a day exploring. There was a nice start pack with bread, butter, milk and biscuits. The directions on the website are good.

    The location was fantastic with everything you would want to visit a short drive away. The house was tidy with a lovely bath to soak tired muscles after a day exploring. There was a nice start pack with bread, butter, milk and biscuits. The directions on the website are good. It is easier to find the property arriving from the Bushmills direction as you can see the house from the road. We found the King bed to be extremely hard and neither of us slept well. As the sofa is actually the pull out sofa bed this was also hard and we did not feel cosy and comfy in the evenings. It was very disappointing and unexpected to find a lot of cupboard items out of date. There are fly catchers in the windows understandable on a working farm but maybe some of these should be changed after every stay. The boost button on the heat was great. It does take about 30 mins to heat up but then it is nice and toasty. If you are 6ft or over be aware the door frames are low, this doesn't seem to be called out in the house details. It might help to have some little artwork signs like the ones you have used to block the chimneys for over the downstairs bathroom and kitchen doors. If you are interested in stargazing it is the perfect place on clear nights to use one of the apps which will tell you what constellations and plants are above you. In Bushmills there is a lovely design centre with artists on the 1st floor, there is also a wonderful local butcher beside the art studio for anyone who wants to cook up a storm. Unfortunately we did not get to meet our hosts during our week. We would come back to the area as there is so much to explore, the causeway is just a 2 mile stroll along the railway line from the station in Bushmills, however we don't feel we would return to this property.

The property

Nestled in wonderful countryside on the outskirts of Bushmills, County Antrim is this family-friendly, traditional cottage, Granny's.

A detached cottage in the middle of a working family farm, this is the perfect spot for a rural escape with your loved ones.

Off-road parking is available for guests to unpack their belongings with ease and get settled in straight away; entering via the back door, you'll find a homely kitchen/diner with quaint décor and a feature fireplace.

Set the dining table for six and utilise the excellent amenities in the smart, minimal kitchen with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and ample storage space.

Head to the bright, snug sitting room with a mixture of traditional and stylish furnishings and make yourself at home on the cushioned corner sofa, paired with a film on the TV or an afternoon of family games, or snuggle into the plush armchair with a good book.

Granny's has family-friendly in mind with a spacious ground-floor shower room after muddy walks; hang a towel on the heated towel rail and hop in the walk-in shower to freshen up before dinner.

There is a handy washing machine and tumble dryer provided in the external utility room.

Climb the stairs to a spacious landing with views right across the beautiful countryside with the Giant's Causeway resting in the background; three lovely bedrooms await sleepy heads, with a king-size, double and twin, all with storage space and a travel cot available for the littlest guest.

A family bathroom offers a bath with handheld shower, as well as a walk-in shower, for quick and easy mornings to make the most of your holiday time.

A family-friendly courtyard is available to guests, with plenty space for outdoor games and taking in the peaceful surroundings.

Stock up on the essentials or dine in one of the restaurants and pubs in Bushmills, which is a short journey away.

Granny's is a great location for exploring the delights of Northern Ireland with Bushmills on the designated Causeway Coastal Route for stunning scenic views; head north to follow the footsteps of giants along the iconic Giant's Causeway, with the hamlet of Dunseverick a short journey east, home to a ruined 15th-century castle, Dunseverick falls and a picturesque harbour.

Pack the car and spend the day in Portrush, home to a family-friendly beach surrounded by limestone cliffs with plenty of watersports on offer, cafés dotting the coastline, as well as tours of Dunluce Castle, the ruins of a medieval Irish castle.

Another fun-filled day trip awaits in Ballycastle surrounded by glens, forests and ancient rocks; fuel up in the many shops and eateries along the bay, explore Bonamargy Friary, before heading to Ballycastle Strand for a day of sea, sun and sandcastles.

Granny's is a wonderful home-away-from-home to discover the wonders along the Northern Irish coast.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
