  : Oatlands was very easy to find and a great base for touring. Our cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean plus we had the added bonus of a welcome pack. We also loved the spacious bedrooms with really comfortable beds and the luxury of each having an en suite bathroom!

  : Comfy beds and high quality bedroom furniture, shower and bathrooms modern fixtures and great shower nice and hot and welcome refreshments were great
  : Having no access to a secure garden area with children it was difficult to keep the kids entertained in the house and to stop the toddler climbing the furniture!

  : The accommodation was lovely; a large open-plan living and kitchen area with modern appliances and plenty of cutlery and crockery, comfortable sofas and large dining table. Upstairs both bedrooms had very comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms which were well-kept (there was also a downstairs toilet), and blackout blinds. The host was very helpful, answered all my questions very quickly, and both check-in and check-out were very straightforward.

  : Great location for us visiting family, with Hillsborough and Lisburn not far away either. The house is spacious, warm and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and the hamper of provisions a lovely touch. Wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

  : Very clean throughout & large spacious bedrooms, each with sturdy and classy furniture (large wardrobes and chest of drawers) in very good condition. Each bedroom had a double bed & a single bed, clean fresh sheets and towels, and their own fully equipped en-suite. The showers were powerful & hot, & the house was constantly warm and cosy. There was an additional toilet downstairs & separate hall to leave shoes. Sumptuous carpets / underlay - sounds a minor thing, but lovely to walk on in socks! The large decorated Christmas tree in the dining area was a very nice touch & appreciated for the kids & making the cottage have a festive atmosphere. There was ample parking, quiet at night and free wi-fi. Stewart was helpful & informative. The cottage was very close to Hillsborough & the Sprucefield retail park, & only 25 mins drive to the Stena ferry in Belfast, so we could get the early ferry without a problem. Very pleased we chose this property, excellent value for money & I would happily stay here again with my family, all of whom loved it as well!
  : The plastic coverings on the dining room chairs could have been in slightly better condition (the plastic coverings were flaking off). It would have been nice if there was anywhere to walk straight out of the door in the countryside with footpaths - as we have small kids we didnt want to risk walking directly on the roads. Thats not the cottages fault but its just something to be aware of if you like walking / have small children. However, as stated earlier it is only a couple of miles from Hillsborough, in particular Royal Hillsborough Forest Park which is beautiful & an absolute must for visitors! More information about closer, more local walks would be good. From a parental viewpoint, if they were able to convert the side area outside the house into an enclosed garden that would be beneficial for the kids to play / be outside, or if we were staying during the summer. As we were there for Christmas in the dead of winter this wasnt an issue but it could increase the value of the rental.
