    Cosy, quiet with sea view. Well appointed with quality furniture. Excellent location near beach. Compact living room and kitchen, but clever use of space. Clean and well decorated.

    We had a wonderful and cosy stay at Castle Hill Cottage & Paddlers Retreat. The property was clean, tidy, and well-appointed. The living room and kitchen, though small, had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. The smart TV with HDMI ports was a great addition, and we enjoyed cozying up by the amazing little fireplace. The location was excellent, close to Ballywalter beach, and provided a peaceful break with a lovely sea view.

    Although there were a few drawbacks, such as a small parking space that required careful maneuvering, unfriendly neighbors who seemed to always be watching, and a smaller window in one of the rooms that made it warm, the overall experience was definitely not bad. We would absolutely recommend staying here for anyone looking for a peaceful and cozy getaway.

    Just had a delightful weekend getaway at this cosy hotel. The rooms were clean, tidy, and spacious, with a smart TV and HDMI ports for entertainment. The fan in one room was a bonus during the summer weather, and the shower was fantastic. And let's not forget the amazing little fireplace that added a touch of warmth and charm. The owners have thoughtfully considered every detail, and the kitchen was a dream for a home food lover like myself. a highly clean property with comfortable beds, soft blankets, and pillows. It truly felt like a home away from home.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The value for money at this hotel was exceptional, and the room was fantastic. The location was perfect for evening walks to the beach, and the staff treated us like family.

    The food for breakfast could be improved with more variety.

    The property was clean and well decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We loved the convenient location, perfect for evening walks to the beach and with parking right at the cottage. The smart TV with HDMI ports was a great addition, allowing us to connect our laptops and enjoy some movie nights. the cottage provided a wonderful and cozy experience for our Christmas getaway.

    There were a few minor downsides during our stay. We couldn't find any notes about the facilities, leaving us unsure about how to heat the boiler for consecutive showers.

    Loved the sea view from the terrace while enjoying complimentary WiFi. The fireplace made me feel cozy, and the nearby activities like snorkeling and fishing were a blast. Just what I needed!

    Oh, how delightful it was reversing up a tight lane with a tiny parking space. And the curtained glares from the friendly neighbors added an extra touch of warmth to my stay.

    Our stay at Castle Hill Cottage & Paddlers Retreat was wonderful! The property was clean, well-decorated, and felt like a cozy hideaway. The beds were comfortable with plenty of soft blankets and pillows. We loved the sea view and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The kitchen was well-appointed, perfect for home-cooked meals. We were impressed with the good quality furniture and fittings throughout. The smart TV with HDMI ports was a nice touch. The location was great for evening walks to the beach and parking at the cottage was convenient.

    The second bed was a bit low for our older friend, making it difficult for them to get out of. We also found it inconvenient that there was no easy way to dry clothes after using the washing machine.
