If you have a car like I did, parking isn't included but I always found parking along Knutsford Dr.

Mary is the sweetest most accommodating lady you'll ever meet!! The breakfast was amazing!! The room was very cozy and if you like dogs, she's got a few spaniels that are just full of love!! I recommend staying at the Brackenberry! Mary is awesome and well known and loved in the area!

Our stay was unfortunately anything but pleasant. The room was small, the tiny bed ( I’m 1.88 metres, I could barely stretch out in the small, narrow bed) squeezed into a tiny corner, and the entire decor looked extremely dated and run down. The furniture had obviously seen better days and everything looked very worn. Particularly unpleasant was the smell of mothballs that spread throughout the room, accompanied by a general musty odour that made the stay even more difficult. All in all, we absolutely cannot recommend this place, unless you can get something out of this „charm“

Loved the property and every quirk about it

Mary was brilliant from start to finish, made sure we felt at home, and bringing breakfast in bed

Stayed in July 2024

Mary is an absolute delight! We arrived on a late flight from London and picked up a rental car to make our way there. Mary was more than accommodating with our arrival time and was ready and waiting with offers of tea upon our arrival. I've never been to Ireland before and, being Canadian, was feeling a little leery about the driving on the other side of the road, etc. Mary and her warm welcome brought my anxiety down several notches. Her house is a true Irish gem. You really feel you've arrived in Ireland here! It's charming and old, with all the creaks and squeaks of a loved and lived in home. I had a fantastic sleep in our bed and woke up to hot coffee and a delicious breakfast downstairs, as well as a chat with Mary and another guest. She had lots of great recommendations for our time there and we took her advice on what to see and do. Including the recommendation that we stop in Cushendun for a pub lunch at Mary McBride's Bar. We did, and it was fabulous. Thanks again for your warm, Irish welcome, Mary. Will absolutely recommend your place to visitors!

If you are looking for a place to stay in a vintage style this is great place for you. Mary, the owner is absolutely amazing person. Family atmosphere. Teasty food. Very helpful. Definitely we will recommend this place.

We were given a room at the top of the house which was damp and mouldy very poor sleepless night. Awkward bed placement shoved up against a damp wall, had to clambour over my daughter to get off the bed. The shared bathroom facilities with the residents of 4/5 other rooms was not expected. This was not a pleasant stay for us at all.

Mary was very friendly and very kind.

The parking is not great, but I don’t think there’s much you can do about that

Very cozy! Host was delightful, gave us a complimentary breakfast despite not purchasing the option. Rustic and homely

The information regarding the room and they house was not right. The rooms offered doesn’t have private bathroom as it is stated. There is one bathroom to be shared by several rooms. Furthermore, the house doesn’t have parking facilities as announced in the description. I encourage the owner to publish the real services the house has.

Mary the hostess was kind with me.

I booked this for my parents who were treated rudely by the owner Mary. Her place from the outside is run down, The place stank so much that they couldn't even make it past talking to Mary, who they only saw after 2nd attempt of checking in. A horrible way to treat people. After informing booking.com that day I still haven't had feedback. She wouldn't cancel but told them they had not arrived. Lying. How you'd expect anyone to stay and pay, I have no idea

Nothing.

It was hard to find on street parking near Brackenberry. The room was small with nowhere to hang our clothes. Not a reflection on the property but other guests could be heard playing music late at night.

Comfortable bed

If you are looking for a very modern premises with very practical minimal plain decoration than this mightn't be the place for you. However, I loved the decoration and found it full of character. It was near where I needed to be but bear in mind, it is a little outside of the city, A taxi is only 10 minutes and the area is serviced be good bus routes, so nothing major.

From the moment I was greeted at the door, Mary was the perfect hostess. I honestly felt like I was home! She served me a lovely cup of coffee on a tray in my room and gave me all the information I need about the location, taxis etc. The house itself is a beautiful quirky old Victorian house, situated on a lovely street with period furniture, antique Mirrors and chandeliers and a really interesting library filled with books in the dining room. For breakfast the following morning, Mary cooked fresh pancakes and there were homemade scones, pastries, bread, yogurts, jams etc and a large selection of teas or generous pourings of coffee. The best part was you could hear the chickens squabbling outside the window as you ate which I found very entertaining :) You can tell that the host loves welcoming people and puts her all into greeting them-she is so warm and friendly (As Belfast people tend to be) Mary, thank you for welcoming me into your home and I'm already planning my return.

big room but with 6 people inside it was finally too small... 1 only commun bathroom (with toilets inside) for all the people of the house (we were at least 10 this night) this is really not enough

Mary is a lovely lady, she has a nice little house. Unfortunately equipments (see below) are not convenient

Everything was great!

The stay, room, bathroom, breakfast were all great but what was truly memorable was the kindness and generosity of the host!! She went over and beyond and we are truly grateful for her hospitality. Highly recommended stay!

Poor accommodation for the worth of money. An uncomfortable, old, too small and short bed for two. The room was not cleaned properly, it was dusty.
