Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Exceptional place to stay
There isn't really much more I can add to previous reviews which perfectly describe this exceptional accommodation. Location, decor, furnishing, attention to detail, aesthetics and just the general feel and ambience of the property were all 5 star +
We brought some guests over from England with us who have stayed in many a rental or air B&B and they all commented this would be the best they have experienced anywhere. You won't be disappointed

I cannot speaking highly enough about this property. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect! Further, the owners went way above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing less than spectacular! They even arranged a private chef and music entertainment for us one night and were available at all times. If you are in the area, this should be your #1 choice to stay!

Originally from Bangor I wanted to bring my English in-laws to the country I was brought up in. White Cottage was just the perfect backdrop to a lovely holiday where both strands of my family could meet. The location was idyllic, the house so tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable. We love cooking and everything was perfectly set up for that. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed the beautiful garden and the treats! I would highly recommend this property, it is simply stunning.

This property is even more beautiful in person-every design detail and amenity has been thoughtfully considered. The inside is stunning and the outside deck, patio and garden were perfect for relaxing after a day in Belfast or spent walking along the sea. Highly recommend!

White Cottage is simply exceptional. We spent three weeks in every country of the UK with three generations of my family (age 8 months to 70 years), and I can say not only was White Cottage the best of the many great holiday homes we chose, it was a destination unto itself. Our matriarch, who was traveling out of the country for the first time, put it best when she said, “Just being in a beautiful country cottage in Ireland is a dream come true.” The cottage had plenty of room for our party of 6, and it was spotless and massively appointed. A-J owns a catering business, so her kitchen is a chef’s dream, with appliances and spices galore. She even had champagne waiting for our arrival and a crib + toys for our little ones set up and ready! Not only are all the spaces perfect — including the massive, dreamy backyard — all the small decorative touches truly do give it a country feel in the middle of the city. Being a one-minute walk to the train station truly opens up the entire country, as well. You’re 20 minutes from Bangor, 15 from the city, and a couple hours from the Portrush and Giants Causeway. You’d be hard pressed to find a better home base or better value for your money in Northern Ireland. Cheers, A-J!

Beautifully presented cottage, everyone who came in remarked at how lovely the property is. Location is excellent - walks along the seafront or into Holywood right at hand. Proximity to the train line is also a boon. The owner is very responsive and friendly. The cottage is well stocked with almost everything you might need. For a longer stay you might need to top up the shampoo. Shower gel or soap might also be needed.

We recently stayed at White Cottage for a week, while we visited family in the area. I cannot begin to describe how lovely this home is. A-J has provided everything you could possible need in terms of comfort, cleanliness, kitchen ware, etc. Excellent communication before and during our stay. This home truly feels like home away from home. The area is lovely - we took advantage of the proximity to the lovely Cultra coastline and enjoyed lovely walks along the shoreline and into nearby Holywood.
Thank you A-J! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!
