Amazing little B&B managed by an extremely kind lady! The food at the B&B’s restaurant is absolutely delicious and very affordable, the rooms have everything you need (kettle, hair dryer, TV, small extra radiator). The view on the bay is amazing and the location great for sunsets! Thank you again for the great experience!

This is THE MOST AMAZING B&B. The attention to detail is incredible- little scissors to open coffee sachets is but one example

It was a very late booking as we were supposed to be travelling to Belfast from the port opposite. Our host did everything she could to accommodate us at such short notice! Lovely lady! After looking for hotels in the area, the caravan was by far the best option. We were extremely happy that we chose it. It really lived up to it's name, cosy! The heating was turned on in advance, so when we entered, it was lovely and warm and very welcoming. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Little Ireland is a gem of a property, a great find for us and our 2 dogs who were also right at home here. The house is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean (we would easily have believed we were the first people to have stayed due to the high standard of maintenance). The lovely hosts really have thought of everything, providing all we needed for a fabulous stay. They were also so helpful and when we messaged with a query they replied with an answer straight away. There was so much space for us all and we had a fabulous time (also really enjoyed a lovely meal in Papa Rab's!) Thank you for a great stay, we wouldn't hesitate to book again!

The location was perfect for the P&O Ferry terminal. The breakfast was beautifully cooked and exceeded expectations. Pat is a wonderful host who was very helpful with recommending where to eat dinner. I would recommend the Merchants House in Cairnryan for evening meal run by Fiona.

Wonderful location, Pat was a fantastic host, going out of her way to make us comfortable and helping us to book for our evening meal at a lovely local pub. The room was gorgeous with lots of little thoughtful touches, and the breakfast was fantastic (great veggie breakfast too) - highly recommended. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to come back again!

Pat was a really very friendly lady who was an excellent host. The B&B is so comfortable and cosy. Spotlessly clean also. We had a very early boat (only 2 minutes from the ferry which is fantastic) and Pat made us up some delicious sandwiches. A lovely stay. Míle buíochas. Martin & Paul
