I had a Sunday off this weekend and spent it looking through these ears at the stunning beach of Ballywalter. Our Loft Cottage is only a few minutes drive from here and it’s well worth a visit on a sunny day

Just a stones throw from our beautiful apartment in Cloughey. Bookings for this year are open and we still have some availability over the Easter break. Why not check out The Loft, Cloughey on booking.com and Airbnb for rates and all availability.

🚶Take a weekend walk at Cloughey beach to clear away the cobwebs.🚶
This sweeping crescent of sand is easy to access via the boardwalks at the north and south ends of the beach which help protect the dune system with their rare plantlife. On the horizon you can spot the South Rock lighthouse, built in 1797, making it the oldest waveswept lighthouse in Ireland.

The forecast is looking good for this fabulous festival in Portavogie. Why not pop down and see what it’s all about. We were very privileged to meet and have the lovely celebrity chef Paula McIntyre Cooks stay at The Loft at Ard Gleann last night. I hope she enjoyed her stay and I’m just relieved it involved no cooking from me 😂

A bit of fun this morning, I had help getting The Loft Cottage ready for our guests arriving later 😂 I can confirm the light saber is not an effective cleaning utensil 🤣

We have had a busy few weeks with the Easter break and quite a few events at the nearby Kirkistown Racetrack. It is always lovely to provide accommodation for the racers and we had a lovely review from our guests who stayed on Friday evening at The Loft at Ard Gleann. I hope your son had a great days racing! 🏁🏁

A lovely review from our Canadian guests staying at The Loft Cottage last week. I quite like being referred to as “awesome” 😍

31/08/2022

A lovely thought from our returning guests at The Loft Cottage, they had super weather for their 10 night stay and even managed a sea swim and a paddle everyday. We look forward to having them return soon.

21/08/2022

This is my view this morning changing over for the next lucky guests arriving later today, they are returning for their fourth visit at The Loft Cottage!

At Loft Holidays we strive to make sure we provide the best service possible for our guests and I love to read all the comments in the guest books (especially from our younger guests) and the reviews left on our booking platforms. Our most recent review for The Loft Cottage is lovely and our 5* Airbnb rating is something I am very proud of.

We’ve had a busy week here at Loft Holidays with changeovers every day across our three homes. Cloughey Henry has had enough and doesn’t agree with Saturday overtime. 🤣

26/07/2022

A beautiful day for an early morning changeover, but the workforce isn’t too enthusiastic! 😂
