Bay Tree Cottage

3 night stay Excellent accommodation. Wonderful place. The place was immaculate, so clean. The decor was excellent. I can that the host has put a lot thought into the decor of the home. Cannot fault it, comfy bed with high quality bedding. One of the best places I have stayed. It was so relaxing. I would recommend staying here if you want peace and quiet, clean accommodation and a great host.

I love when my expectations are exceeded and they were on every level during our recent break at Bay Tree cottage. We had a wonderful warm welcome from Susan (and scones) and the house is just gorgeous. As the reviews say - it was spotless with everything you could ever need on a self catering break and then some. Susan has impeccable taste and this shows in the interior decor, the quality of the linens, and the attention to detail throughout. It was such a warm cosy house to come back to after sightseeing or shopping in the area - there was so much to do four days wasn’t enough! Hillsborough is a beautiful village, with lots of nice places to eat and everyone is so friendly! We booked the breakfast hamper each morning and it was like Christmas waiting to see what daily treats would be inside. It’s a fantastic location to tour around the area or just chill and enjoy the house. It was really nice to meet Susan and her recommendations for food and places to visit were excellent. We really hope to return soon!

We have just returned from a 4-night stay at Bay Tree Cottage and perfection would be an understatement. We have had the most wonderful family getaway. Susan and Willie are the perfect hosts and so welcoming. The Cottage itself is beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable and fully equipped with everything that you could possibly need. A home away from home! As we have a 11 month old baby, being 20 minutes from Belfast City Centre was the perfect location, with many surrounding attractions to keep us busy during our stay. If you are looking for a beautiful place to enjoy solo, as a couple or family, we couldn’t recommend this property enough. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Susan & Willie Mark, Kerry & Baby Jack

Wonderful accommodation, in a beautiful rural setting, with superb hosts, Susan and Willie. Very comfortable and attractively decorated cottage, which was a joy to return to after days out around Northern Ireland. Brilliantly light and airy in the mornings, and cosy and warm in the evenings. A real home from home - and if you’re lucky enough to sample Susan’s cakes or shortbread, you’re in for a real treat! Conveniently located for access to the motorway, Belfast is only 20 minutes away. Hillsborough, which is only minutes away, is an interesting and historical Georgian town full of things to do and see. All in all, a great experience to stay at Bay Tree Cottage, and a place will we certainly return to on future Northern Ireland trips.

This place is beautiful and perfect for any length of holiday. Was here for a long weekend and it exceeded our expectations, the kitchen is v practical allowing us to have a cooked breakfast every morning and there’s 3 bathrooms which was great for our family. Susan is a lovely host happily providing any information we asked and advice on what to see in the area. Definitely will be staying here again when we come back to Northen Ireland.
