10/10 Excellent
"Really nice hotel and amazing staff. The one thing I would say is that it’s not very well connected, the train station is around a 25-30 minute walk from the hotel and the train to Belfast are every hour (10 past every hour) so it’s a little bit of a pain to get anywhere. However can’t fault the staff or the hotel. It’s located near lots of a good food places and a supermarket on the door step"

"Cullentra House is one of the B&B places we have ever stayed. Olive and James are fantastic hosts. We felt so welcome. The room is comfortable and spotless. Olive was kind enough to book and drop us off in town for a drink with our meals. The full Irish breakfast was to die for. We were so impressed with the attention to details Olive and James put into to ensure that we looked after, and that they did so with genuine love at what they do. We highly recommended the experience and would certainly consider coming back again next time we are in Northern Ireland. Thank You Olive and James!"
