Family-friendly vacation rentals in Holywood

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

Lynne’s place was perfect! Just as she described. She welcomed us as soon as we arrived. The location was ideal. We covered a lot of ground from Belfast to Bushmills. The town of Dromore and Hillsborough are delightful. Would highly recommend!

This was a really smooth airbnb experience - Janet was very good at communicating, everything was pristine when we arrived and there were lots of little things extra that really showed Janet has put alot of effort into making the experience top class. As the weather was not so good on one of the days we spent most of it in the hot tub !! - this is a great option and perfect for when we arrived also. The location is perfect for trips around the lough and we all had a great time. Thanks to Janet for making it very cosy and amenable.

Booked this house for a wee treat getaway for my mother who just went through cancer treatment with a bunch of girls & we had the best time from start to finish. The place was beautiful very spacious, had everything we needed & we really enjoyed the hottub. The host was so helpful & answered any questions i had within seconds. Would definitely recommend this place

Booked very last minute for anniversary surprise and an absolutely amazing stay! Everything there provided, relaxing and clean all round. Martina and Anna were so helpful in providing all updates and making sure we felt right at home. Cottage is perfect for a couples get away or a group get away. Lovely and spacious with a private hot tub and lovely setting throughout the cottage. Will definitely be returning thank you!

This house was absolutely beautiful, with beautiful views, everything you would need in a house. The hot tub was amazing especially in the evenings looking over the bay. Trevor was kind and a lovely host. Always contactable if needed .

Harlan barge was a wonderful adventure that created lasting memories for us. We planned this trip in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid. Gillian was an amazing host and very responsive. I am certain you will enjoy your stay.

Miriam's place was delightful. Super location, very clean inside and she had left a wonderful breakfast 😍.. with extra goodies too. She was so thoughtful, and I really enjoyed staying there for the three nights. I highly recommend this spot.

It was a lovely place and easy to navigate around, We where going to a concert in Belsonic and it was a great walkable distance.

Trevor was very helpful with messages and instructions in the house. The house was very clean and well equipped for us, we had a great time.

We really enjoyed staying at Paula's flat, it made our trip much easier. Paula was super accommodating for both us and our dog. Found the flat very comfortable and homely, easy to find everything. On arrival Paula was there to meet us not just with a friendly hello and some recommendations but with a whole bag of groceries as well - we couldn't get through it all! We felt safe and happy in the flat and location and are going back in March! I can't fault the flat or Paula at all. Thank you so much and looking forward to seeing you again in March!

Just home for one day and I already miss being at the cottage. I think we found a home away from home. The cottage has everything you need to feel right at home from basic amenities like dish washer tablets to vegetable oil and tea to a broad selection of pillows to match your own preference. John has been nothing but kind and helpful. He has been an exceptional host that even went out of his way to organize people taking care of icy roads for us. I really enjoyed talking to him and he went out of his way to give us recommendations. The cottage was super clean and warm, when we arrived on our first icy evening. I could not have asked for more. The warmth the cottage radiates can ok only be rivaled by its fantastic host. Can't wait to get back. 11 out of 10! Can highly recommend

Our family had a fantastic 5-night stay at "The Bank" in Portaferry! The location couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of the town. What made our stay truly special was the heritage charm of the property. So many details still reflect its history as an old bank, and that unique character really added to the experience. We especially loved the cosy fireplace, which made those cold, dark winter evenings feel warm and inviting. Plus, everything in Portaferry was just a short walk away, making it super convenient to explore the area. Having a Eurospar right across the street was such a bonus too! We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would recommend "The Bank" to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.

Gillian’s place is a Lovely cosy house set in beautiful countryside, very quiet and private place it was ideal for our needs. We travelled to the Balmoral Show during our stay. We ate in local restaurants in Saintfield which were also very tasty with very pleasant staff We really enjoyed our stay Thank you Gillian

Yes this flat absolutely fits the bill for a stay in Belfast in a vibrant area, but out of the busy centre. Barry helpful & v quick to help- eg when our flight plans changed & advice needed- thanks again.

Great accommodation in the center of Belfast. The recommendations by Tony were great, Nu Delhi gave us some great food. The mighty bridge house wetherspoons is also round the corner for a cheap pint. Last of all, the included Netflix account allowed for some unforgettable experiences watching the blockbuster series: Is It Cake? Season 3. All in all, great value for a good spot.

We booked the accommodation for our daughter’s wedding, all the bridesmaids got ready there so we required lots of space it worked perfectly for us thanks Li.

We had a wonderful stay at Alexandra's place as accommodation prior to my wedding for myself and the bridal party. Alexandra and Sally were very accommodating and even provided some provisions of bread, milk and Prosecco! I would definitely love to stay here again with more time to explore the local area, which is beautiful. The house itself is charming and characterful, as well as well-equipped for cooking and doing laundry. There is a double garage at the rear of the garden which was very helpful for parking.

Sharon s place felt like a home away from home , clean , well equipped , functional , no clutter and easy access with car park . The view of the sea is something that we really enjoyed after a tiring outing everyday. It comes with only one bath and toilet but we adults managed our queue system . Would certainly recommend this property.

Very satisfied with feedback and response from Mary. The accommodation and location was ideal for our needs. Location is quiet but within walking distance of the town centre. Overall very happy with our choice.

Nearly everyday, Nicola checked in with us, when she could find us. 😊. We loved talking to her and she took a genuine interest in us. We were mainly in Belfast to see friends, so didn’t eat much more than breakfast there. However, the kitchen was well appointed and we found everything we would have needed to prepare a fine meal. We had a hiccup one morning when the electric tea kettle bit the dust. I sent her communication and she was out the door in about 15 minutes. Back in a flash with a brand new kettle. No questions asked. We were just delighted to be there and in her care. Would highly recommend her place.

We had an exceptional stay at Holywood Hill Cottages. Wendy and David are the best hosts. the chickens and roosters were friendly too lol. a very practical and beautiful spot. we recommend it highly.
