Bushmills Reviews

Telpek
We had a great weekend out at this specious holiday home. It has huge 4 bedrooms much bigger than in the pics. Very cozy leaving and kitchen area with massive garden for play and picnic.
We had a wonderful time at Bushmills. There was plenty of space for our two families including four children. The property was very clean and the kitchen had plenty of useful utensils. The views from the garden were lovely. The photos dont do the property justice, it has some newer furniture, and the games room accessed from outside with table tennis and table football was a great addition, though mainly used by the adults in our party!
Suzanne
Lovely accommodation plenty of room for us all 6 in total from 2 families, this was an advantage. Games room was a bonus. Kitchen was great with plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses. Did struggle to find a separate baking tray but other than that we managed ok. Would recommend to any other large party looking for a relaxing holiday.
Albert
Excellent accommodation. Spacious, clean with everything you would possibly want. Remote location with lovely views. Nearest shops or pubs a car ride away so it might be worthwhile taking basic provisions with you for the start of the break. A lot of nice places to visit in the area a short car ride away
A lovely spacious house with plenty of character and charm Stunning view across the Valley. The Host Lindsey was always available and helpful with any questions we had. Would highly recommend
Sharon
The cottage is great for a family break with plenty of room. The games room is an added bonus for keeping younger ones entertained. My grandchildren had a lot vely time saying morning and goodnight to the sheep in the firld adjacent
Excellent accommodation in a lovely quiet area. Very clean inside, and brilliant host who replies quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay again.
We had a lovely stay at Bushmills this weekend. Beautiful accommodation with fantastic views. We loved walking the local lanes, which were quiet and scenic. Lots to do in the local area and we had an enjoyable meal at nearby Gwatkin Red Cow Tavern. Lindsey, the owner, was most accommodating and flexible on our arrival arrangements, as the weather that day was fierce. Also nice to visit Hay on Wye and Hereford both within half an hour or so by car. A lovely property for a cosy Winter break, and it would be fabulous in Summer too!
Great open living space which suited us 4 girls. Quiet rural setting. Shame dogs not allowed.
Campbell
This was our fifth time at the property so it goes without saying that that we love it and its location. This time the weather was bit mixed so we made good use of the games room!
Lovely cottage in a beautiful location with great facilities. As others have mentioned previously, the photos on the website don't do it justice! A little frustrating to be woken up early by the building work next door perhaps a word with the owners there to ask them to start at a more civilised time of day!
This would have been perfect for us except for the builders next door starting up noisy machines at 7. 30 am On Friday morning, after we had a long journey the night before. Otherwise very comfortable, clean and good facilities. Hopefully we will come back next year when the building work has finished next door.
My family and I stayed in Bushmills for a weekend and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We don't often get together so we appreciated the space, the facilities in the barn, the cleanliness and how well equipped the property is for all of our cooking and eating experiences over the weekend. My husband was also very impressed by the conversion and building work. Thank you for sharing the photographs of the conversion underway. Our only disappointment was we didn't get to meet the owners to thank them in person.
Catherine
The property was perfect, bedrooms all great for 9 of us with the added bonus of a games room. All the kitchen crockery etc was really great, plenty of it too. Set in lovely surroundings it was a stunning property, beautifully renovated and we had a great time.
Patrick
This was our second stay at Bushmills, and we couldnt wait to come back, we adore the house. There is so much space for a family group of varying ages. The house is so warm and inviting, the underfloor heating was amazing during the recent cold snap. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. Four bathrooms are fantastic with a family group, showers have excellent water pressure. The surrounding countryside is amazing for exploring. Bushmills setting is in itself , tranquil. The morning birdsong is delightful. There are excellent eating out options within 1015 minutes drive of the house. We had a fantastic week and cannot wait to come back.
We stayed at Bushmills for Christmas and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Having six adults and two children in our party there was ample room for us all . The cottage is very well equipped and warm and cosy with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Wonderful home for a family get together. We loved it. Peaceful away from it all. Exactly what we were looking for. We will ge back.
Patrick
What a wonderful stay we had. We were a mixed group of family ages, 9 people in total. The house has absolutely everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Super comfortable beds. Lots of space in the living areas. There are now fabulous new couches in the living room and a larger dining table than in the pictures. The underfloor heating makes everything cosy. Its very convenient to have so many bathrooms when there are so many people. Stunning scenery in a fantastic rural setting but with so many local attractions. Great pubs for evening meals within 1020 minutes drive. So much to see and explore. We will definitely be back.
Christine
This lovely converted barn was perfect for 3 generations of our family to enjoy a few days away together. The fact that it has a ground floor is one of the reasons we chose it as my dad has mobility issues but we would definitely return. The views are spectacular. Although quite remote, it is only a short drive from Hereford. The property is well equipped and had everything we needed. We had hoped to enjoy the log burner, but due to unseasonally warm weather, and the underfloor heating, the property was incredibly warm and we had to turn the heating off. This small issue aside, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
Lovely renovated building. Photos do not do it justice. Clean and has all possible amenities. Games room was a big hit with the whole family.
Frederick
Extremely well equipped with a fabulous play room. Comfortable beds with good linen. All bedrooms spacious with 2 ensuite plus 2 further bathrooms. Fabulous views. Large car park
Ingrid
Beautiful barn conversion in a beautiful location. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived as the photos do not do the barn justice. All the rooms were of a good size and airy. Great space for a large group. Lindsey was very quick to reply to any questions we had. Would definitely return for another stay
Our family of 9 had a lovely stay in this property, it was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved playing in the garden and the countryside location made for very quiet and peaceful evenings. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
We were a very mixed family, 2 Adults over 65. 1 Family of 2 Adults with 1 16 yr old and 1 5yr old, 2 Adults with a 4yr old, but Bushmills was a great pick for all of us. There was everything you needed for a perfect holiday. The added extras Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk and Biscuits were very much appreciated. Also the fact that there were dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, pan scrub, dishcloth and tea towels made our stay easier. The games room was well equipped and well used. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bushmills to other families for a wonderful family holiday. Thank you for your hospitality and thoughtfulness. We would like to return one day.
Campbell
This was our 4th trip to Bushmills which says it all really ! Its a substantial, comfortable house with everything well thought out. Its in a quiet but stunning location with fabulous views. The owners could not have been more helpful!
Had a lovely stay at Bushmills. The house is beautiful, very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The living kitchen dining area is a great space and there was plenty of room for us all. Bedrooms are really big and it was lovely having two with ensuites. The games room is a lovely addition and has tabletennis, fussball and darts. Beautiful surroundings too.
Claire
The house was perfect for a multigeneration gathering for a family wedding held locally. Plenty of bathrooms meant that there was no queueing on the day of the wedding! The kitchen was superbly equipped for feeding all of us on Friday night and for putting on a brunch on the Sunday for those staying, plus extra family members staying locally. The location and view from the property was superb. Narrow country lanes did not phase us at all. SatNav was brilliant for getting us to and from locations however, we never came back the same way twice! We met Lindsey as we were departing and she was most friendly and chatty. I would have no hesitation in recommending the property for larger gatherings. The open plan livingdiningkitchen was brilliant for allowing us to socialise freely it helped that the weather was kind and we could utilise the patio too. The photos do not do it justice, as the furniture has been changed since they were taken and it has a more modern feel downstairs now.
Bushmills was a perfect destination for meeting up with family, we had plenty of room, loads of equipmentextras such as foil and cling film in the kitchen and the good weather helped for walking the footpaths! The games room provided us with a daily table tennis challenge and the patio furniture was ideal for morning coffees. Only downside was the 34 mile narrow lane for us nervous drivers! but we found the easier way through Abbeydore it's longer but more relaxing! The owner was very helpful, friendly and always available for us 3 nights weren't long enough!
Beautiful converted barn. Lovely welcome gifts as well, thank you. Bedrooms all very comfortable and very clean. Every item possible in kitchen we didnt need anything. Living area was perfect for us we were on a girly craft and reading weekend. Great location, we visited Hereford city centre and the famous book town HayonWye both less than 30mins drive away. We would all love to do the same again next year! The views were amazing, we were very lucky to have beautiful weather while visiting.
Hayley
The photos do not do this cabin justice! As soon as we walked in we realised how lucky we were to have found such a beautiful place to stay for the weekend! We loved it that much we have actually booked it again for next year and with an extra night!
Stephen
This is a good barn conversion, adequately furnished. A reclining chair would be useful for older and more infirm persons.
Christine
This was a lovely property and even better than on the photos listed. Some lovely treats left for us as well as milk and tea and coffee. The fire was laid up ready for us too. We gave Lindsay a call about a couple of issues and the response was really quick and they were sorted in no time, a lovely friendly lady. Would definitely look at visiting again.
Campbell
Possibly says it all that it was our third year running that we stayed at a Bushmills . Its a wonderfully comfortable house in a quiet but beautiful location. Extremely well equipped and thought out. If its important to other visitors the mobile signal is poor but the wifi decent. I cant imagine we wont be back.
Heather
I have written to the holiday owner separately.
Great week of summery weather. A pleasure to enjoy the sunrise whilst having breakfast outside. Lovely rural location with lots of superb walking nearby. Games room and BBQ added to our enjoyment of Bushmills. Bit odd that Bushmills was set up as if COVID was still a significant threat, and a sad reminder of tough times wed put behind us. Overall, Bushmills worked very well for us. Would happily book it again for a summer holiday.
We had a lovely week with the whole family 9 at Bushmills. It is very spacious and comfortable and the garden was ideal for 3 small children. A little remote but that didn't stop us having days out and enjoying the countryside. Plenty of parking, lovely welcome touches...milk, cider, snacks and flowers provided by the host who was very prompt in answering queries. The view was amazing and it was so peaceful! Loved our time at National Trust The Weir and also Raglan Farm and Hay on Wye...picnic at The Warren and paddling in the river.
Anthony
An excellent venue in a most beautiful spot.
Lesley
Bushmills was a great location and size for our family group of 8 adults. The views from the house are stunning especially of the rainbows which kept appearing because of showery weather! The cyclists and runners amongst us loved being able to access quiet country lanes and footpaths so easily. 3 nights wasn't long enough though!
I dont think the pictures do it justice, the place is amazing with a view I could never tire of. Lovely and clean cupboards are full of every utensil or cooking implement you could need, beds are huge and comfy
Patricia
An excellent holiday property in every way. Extremely peaceful with beautiful views. A super time was had by all. Thank you!
