The Dreen

This is a delightful and very well appointed cottage in lovely grounds. The location is great for visiting all parts of Northern Ireland. The host is welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed just sitting “at home” in the cottage after days of driving and sightseeing. There are lovely walks around the cottage and fruit available to be picked at will. Stores in the local village are well stocked and reasonably priced. The cottage is wonderfully quiet and restful. We can’t find enough good things to say about it.

Great price! Awesome hosts! Super communication! We booked this for my son’s honeymoon and Ruby and John’s hospitality was amazing. They arranged rides and meals and offered tourism information as well as upgraded there cottage for an excellent price. They made a first trip to Ireland a lasting and great memory! Thanks!

John was a very friendly and caring host. We loved the fresh flowers on the table and enjoyed wandering the beautiful grounds. The wood burning stove was gorgeously cosy and welcoming, and the provision of logs, coals and lighters was a treat.

Lovely friendly place to stay. The breakfast at Toast is a nice touch as it gives visitors a nice slice of village life. Couldn’t have been more helpful when we had an early morning departure making us a snack breakfast pack to take with us. Lovely location, would definitely come back.

Perfect location to explore the beautiful north coast and a great place to stay with dogs – our two loved the lake as well as playing ball in the large private gardens.

Lovely interesting place. If you want somewhere quiet but within a distance of many of the interests in N.Ireland, without the bustle of a city, this is the place to be.

We had a fantastic week staying in Cullybackey. The cottage is part of a lovely property in a countryside location which makes it peaceful and quiet. It was clean, cosy and comfortable. Our hosts John and Ruby were very friendly and quick to attend to any needs we had. We would definitely go back.

John & Ruby are fantastic. They are quick to respond and super accommodating (John even brought us breakfast in the morning so we could start our day on full stomachs)! I cannot say enough good about these people and their cottage. If you need a place to stay, look them up, they are great!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. The setting is amazing with a lake you can swim and kayak on, a pool room and even a bouncy castle on the lawn! My teenagers loved the cosy cottage which was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable.

Lovely cottage that was a perfect location for Galgorm resort where we were attending a wedding. Very comfortable bed and everything was there that we needed. We only stayed two nights but would have been happy to stay longer.

This is a great location in Northern Ireland. If you have a car it’s 45 mins to the lovely North Coast and about the same to Belfast. Cullybackey also has a station on the Derry-Belfast line so you have the option to travel by train. John is a very attentive host without being intrusive.

A great spot in a beautiful setting – Ruby and John were very communicative and helpful. Highly recommended.
