"This was easily the most charming bed and breakfast we've ever stayed at! I can't imagine better hosts than Olive and James. On the night we arrived, we were a bit exhausted from a long drive and unsure about dinner options in the area, and they fully took the reins and made us a dinner reservation in town. And the breakfast!! Genuinely the loveliest breakfast experience I've ever had. I can't recommend Cullentra House highly enough. The perfect place to stay while exploring the Antrim glens and coast."
