    Lovely location, amazing view, Sara was extremely helpful as we were shipping our luggage in advance (motorcycle holiday). Went above and beyond to help. Super comfy bed, everything we needed was at the apartment, plus little extras like crisps and biscuits.

    If you want an amazing sea view, car and people watch the main street this is the place to come visit. Shops and lovely restaurants are right on your doorstep. You could literally park up and walk for the rest of your stay. It was lovely to find fresh milk in the fridge, and a box with porridge, coffee/tea, biscuits and crisps to get us started.

    Upstairs neighbours got up very early Rowdy cars and kids on the Promenade on first night when it was a warm weekend Not such a good outlook at the back- dog poo on fake grass Shower was adequate but not great

    Beautiful view to watch the sunset . Great location for exploring the stunning North Coast Comfortable bed and pillows Basket with tea/coffee/porridge/biscuits and milk in the fridge

    No table in front room where the view was. Only a rocking chair at the bay window which went virtually horizontal when you leaned back! When in bed no where except the floor to set a phone/ipad/book within reach. Nearby unrestricted parking not easy to find in the summer season. 30-45minute wait for hot water for a shower .

    Fantastic location. Excellent standard of cleanliness. Able to enjoy the beautiful view and street watch.

    Very nice couples' getaway

    We had to bring our own toiletries (granted, they are not advertised as included). Also, there is another unit on the floor above - I assume maybe the owners? - and footsteps very audible through the ceiling. Would not have been an issue if it wasn't happening in the middle of the night, almost every night.

    Very nice couples' getaway location, with superb sea view and in the middle of the Promenade. The bed was comfy, if a tad small, but the kitchen was well equipped and having a separate living room area helped it feeling cozy and pleasurable. I especially enjoyed being able to bring our dog as well. Parking around the area can be difficult - during the day it's a maximum 2h stay and after 5pm (when parking becomes free) there is a lot of traffic, but the host let us know about places where we could park for longer periods.

    Everything was perfect for us.

    Picturesque views from the living room - sea & mountains. The rocking chair was wonderful - it brought calmness and was therapeutic whilst looking at the views. Bed comfy. Clean towels & bed sheets & facilities. Sara, the host, was fantastic from start to finish. Would highly recommend the Cranny for a wee cosy stay & central to many tourist attractions.

    I have mobility issues so I found the stairs a bit of a struggle. But that does not reflect the property at all.

    Lovely situation looking out at the water. Close to amenities. Clean tidy premises. Everything catered for.

    Car parking initially a challenge but got used to limit on hours. Had potential to be very noisy particularly when windows open which was necessary in sunshine and heat.

    Portstewart. Good access to other areas. Shops were good and very good dining options. Apartment was dog friendly as with almost all shops. Good walks in area. The views are stunning.
