Description

Tucked away within the majestic setting of County Antrim, is this detached lodge, Alken Cabin.

Ideally positioned, this delightful base comes within striking distance of the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, sandy beaches and endearing waterfalls, perfect for an adventurous family holiday.

It comes with two wonderfully presented bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a triple bunk bedroom, each offering a tranquil spot to wake up to each morning.

Look forward to spending sociable evenings within the open-plan living room where you will be delighted by the necessities that await your arrival.

In here, you will be able to prepare a home-cooked meal within the kitchen area before the family settle down within the dining area to tuck into a delicious meal.

Curl up with your loved ones on the plush L-shaped sofa, where you can catch up on your favourite TV shows or host a competitive games night before retiring of an evening.

Spend a moment or two in the garden area, where you can enjoy the superb views whilst you enjoy your morning coffee, or rustle up some summer treats on the BBQ during the warmer evenings.

If you can tear yourself away from this superb dwelling, venture to the village of Bushmills and enjoy an afternoon at the Old Bushmills Distillery, where you can sample a fine selection of whiskeys.

Alternatively, explore its wealth of amenities including quaint coffee shops and independent gift shops.

Within a short drive you will find one of the most recognisable World Heritage Sites, The Giant’s Causeway, which was made by millions of years of volcanic and geologic activity.

Also nearby is the National-Trust-owned Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, where you will be in awe with the spectacular views that await you as you cross.

Alken Cabin is a wonderful base for exploring Northern Ireland further.

The cottage is beautifully situated, with lovely views.

It’s clean, and it’s great that there’s a canopy so you can still sit outside even if it rains (if the temperature’s right). Although there are four beds, it’s not really suitable for four people to stay there – it’s far too small for that. Because it’s so small, there isn’t a proper dining table either, so eating is a bit of a faff. The kitchen is OK, but the crockery is a bit of a mixed bag and there aren’t enough of everything. The bed isn’t very comfortable; it’s definitely in need of replacing. The information on how to get there and key collection was clear and straightforward. There is information about the local area available in the cottage.

We had a great time, lovely location.

Beds really comfortable, wi-fi, shower were great and owner a friendly, nice chap. The only baffling aspect was kitchen equipment - cooking items fine but crockery, cutlery, glassware were a weird random assortment and odd numbers, some items insufficient for the bookable guest numbers. That part felt neglected. Is it because others break bowls or lose spoons? For example, 6 matching latte tall cups but only 3 mismatched mugs. Cutlery that looked like it came from different sets. That's the only area I would suggest needs thought because it forms part of first impressions - If the owner has to charge returnable breakages deposit up front to cover replacements, that I would understand. I hope this helps.
