Our stay at Cullentra House was one of the highlights of our visit to Country Antrim. The hosts were very kind and generous. The rooms were in perfect order and the breakfast was top chef. Great access to walks in the mountains and on the coast.

Fantastic welcome and hostess skills from Olive- she was preemptive in suggesting a dining venue and booked a table for us. Huge breakfast laid out for us as well as cooked to order, and even some home baking for us to take away! Olive was able to give invaluable insight for our travel plans, setting us off on the best route.

We loved our stay at Cullentra House. Olive is the consummate host, ensuring every detail meets her high standards. We were welcomed on the afternoon of our check-in to her well-established and beautifully-situated B&B with tea/coffee and homemade cake. The room, ensuite bathroom, and the rest of the public areas of her house were sparkling clean. On-site parking was easy and plentiful. Our bed and linens were very comfortable. Olive's breakfast was unsurpassed, with more options than a restaurant menu and served in elegant table settings. We certainly hope to return!

We had the most enjoyable 2 nights stay with Olive & James at Cullentra House. The hospitality was exceptional, & the scenery from their warm home was breathtaking. Everything was so perfect! The breakfast made by Olive was absolutely delicious. She also gave us scones to go everyday. James & Olive were so informative with restaurants to go to & also they helped us in our sightseeing plans each day. We would stay here again if we were in the area. We recommend it to everyone .

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.

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.

This property was spotlessly clean with incredible views. The food was plentiful and portions generous. The decor is beautiful and well matched. On the downside our bathroom radiator didn’t work and the shower was so slow I couldn’t wash my hair. Also I found the bedroom cold as the radiator was only on once during our 3 day stay. We had no storage for our clothes as the space was utilised by the proprietor for bed linen etc. We had to have the window blind down for privacy as the window looked out onto the drive way so we had no natural daylight in our room. We were asked to pay in full on arrival which was unusual. The hand soap dispenser was broken and we were only allocated one hand towel for two of us. Sadly we felt disappointed with our overall stay at Cullentra House and in light of all the minor issues we would choose not to return.
