Genuine Irish hospitality
Great views from every window. Cosy and efficient traditional B and B in the Glens. Not only were we offered a pot of tea and home made cake on arrival, after a long drive, but the breakfast was the best I’ve ever encountered, including fancy hotels. The hosts worked hard to give everyone a comfortable stay. The house is in the countryside very near the cute village of Cushendall. Plenty of easy, safe parking. Very quiet.

Cullentra House is a real gem! The hosts were so gracious - Olive offered us tea when we arrived in the afternoon and booked us dinner at Harry's in the town. Breakfast in the morning kept us full all day - no need for lunch!
Our room was BEAUTIFUL with a stunning view of the ocean. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Cozy and welcoming
Cullentra House was a lovely stop along our Irish road trip. We arrived late in the evening and Olive welcomed us warmly, and served a delicious and beautiful breakfast in the morning. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large. Quick but great stay!

Great award-winning B&B in a beauitful location
Cullentra House was our favorite B&B in Northern Ireland. Olive and James are the most hospitable of hosts and they work together as a great team. Their years of experience hosting guests really shows, and it is no wonder this is an award-winning B&B. The breakfast was delicious with a large selection of dishes to choose from. Besides recommending somewhere to find dinner after our evening arrival they gave us many suggestions of scenic spots to visit in the area the following day. The shared family room was very comfortable, especially after Olive brought in some of their baked treats. Finally, a great big thank you to James for sharing his walking cane with me . It was a huge help after twisting my knee earlier in the day at Giant's Causeway. If we find ourselves back in NI in the future, you can be sure we'll be staying here again.
