From the owner

Shearwater is a quiet four bed roomed Victorian town house furnished and equipped and maintained to a high standard, with each room having its own distinctive character.

The house is close to family-friendly activities, nightlife, public transport, coastal walks and the town centre. Its cosy and clean and you're just a minutes walk from the seafront or the town centre. We provide unlimited fibre broadband plus (64 - 80mb) and a smart TV for those times when you want to 'put your feet up.'

We've been 'going greener' and have already been awarded Green Tourism's Bronze Award. The house is adorned with various art works mainly reflecting the local landscape and its rich wildlife. There's a small library of books covering local history, natural history plus a few novels.

Interaction with guest

We'll meet you at the house when you arrive to hand over keys and show you around. We live a couple of miles away so are on hand if you have any queries or problems. We provide a welcome pack with ideas for places to visit and eat, come rain or shine. Since we started Shearwater a year or two ago we've noticed that we attract quite a lot of coffee aficionados so we've provided a Nespresso machine. Bring your own pods, or for an environmental tick use the refillable pods that we provide. We've upgraded the Broadband so buffering whether on your phone or the Smart TV is no more!

Response from the owner
Running a small business like this isn't just about making extra money. A large part for me at least, is receiving such enthusiastic feedback, knowing that as a host, guests have appreciated what you strive to achieve, and that the experience has made their stay here in NI that much more enjoyable. Thanks Gillian.
