About this house rental

This wonderfully positioned, converted former farm house, is perched on a slight hill at the head of Millin Bay. A serene and tranquil bay unspoilt by development situated just a short drive from the bustling village of Portaferry. This is the perfect get away from it all, where you can walk to the beach at Millin Bay in less than a minute or enjoy the expansive views from the house out to sea to the Ilse of Mann or to the Mourne Mountains behind. Recently renovated, this spacious house can sleep 8 comfortably with four bedrooms, two double and two twin, one ensuite, a family bathroom and a further shower room. There is plenty of reception space with a well-equipped kitchen and dining room, with enough seating for 8 guests, and a interconnecting reception room. Outside there is plenty of space for car parking and a shed for bikes and water sport equipment. The garden is enclosed and dogs are welcome to stay too.

Millin Bay is ideally located just a short drive from the village of Portaferry which is positioned at the top of the Ards peninsula, on the famous Strangford Loch. There are a number of excellent butchers, bakers and green grocers as well as fresh fish van on a Friday morning. There are also larger supermarkets for large shopping. You will be spoilt for choice for things to do, whether walking on the beach, or nearby National Trust shorelands at Kearny and Ballyquintin or take a drive and explore all that Strangford Loch and the Ards Peninsula has to offer. For those coming from outside Ireland the house is situated just under an hour from Belfast City Airport.

    What a view to wake up to in the morning! Loved our stay at Millin Bay House- very relaxing and easy to move in to. Small grocery store within 3 miles for food and close to Portaferry for dining out. Everything we needed was there- excellent VRBO- hope to stay there again some day

    We had a lovely stay at this property. The location was perfect for sightseeing & because of its remoteness it was ideal to relax & unwind from the every day hustle & bustle of life. The views were spectacular especially from the bedrooms. The house itself was spotless & had ample room leaving it spacious & airy. Our only complaint was that the furniture downstairs has seen much better days & was well worn & uncomfortable. The kitchen had very few cooking utensils especially for oven use which was a pity! It would have been nice to have a few basic condiments & a small welcome pack which we have had in many other self catering holiday homes of same price. All that being said everyone enjoyed their stay.

    Lovely house with a commanding view. Love the Ards peninsula. The house was fantastic loved the family kitchen. Spotlessly clean, very warm and the beds very comfy. Eileen was lovely and available on the phone if any help was needed. Well equipped kitchen too. Great place for peace and quiet and a family get together.

    In the eleventh hour we ended up needing to stay in Portaferry for an extra 4 days. We were staying at Flora Cottage which we loved, but it was booked, so Karin offered us Millin Bay House only a stones throw away. My partner is disabled and pretty much wheelchair restricted but we made it work as it’s a two story home with bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor. However we made use of two of the multiple ground floor couches for sleeping and there is also a ground floor shower stall which we did make use of by borrowing a shower chair. Location is gorgeous, house is gorgeous, so bright and cheery. Everything we needed to make it work for 3 extra nights, so it was perfect. Perfect for family visitors to join us and just hang out.

    Great location but difficult host
    Great location but difficult host
    Positives: House is in a remote and beautiful location next to the ocean, very private and the view from the bedrooms is incredible. Challenges: Our first morning, we were woken up by a builder at 8 30 am working on the fence outside our window. It scared me to see a man outside unexpectedly without notice, especially since the house is so remote. Host should have let us know in advance. We weren't sure how long we would be staying so we booked for what we thought, but when we ended up leaving two days early, host refused to refund. We didn't know what the symbols on the washer, dryer, or dishwasher meant and when I asked, the host told me to Google it. I did and couldn't find anything. The remote for the TV didn't work, so we had to get up every time to change channels. Took us awhile to figure out how to work the stovetop. Instructions are needed.
