Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Behind the Green Door
Behind the unassuming green door at 7 Seacliff Rd Bangor awaits a lovely oasis of light and quiet. Offering multiple levels of accommodation- 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 lounges with spectacular views of Belfast Lough, a spacious well equipped kitchen for meal prep and entertainment. Owners Paul & Gillian were warm and welcoming- wine, fresh cut flowers and chocolates were awaiting our arrival. The immaculate property made our stay delightful and unfortunately short- a week flew by! We unreservedly recommend Splash Cottage! Brian & Alyson

We look forward to coming here all year!
We come to Pauls rental every year and enjoy every moment. We could not recommend this place more. When we are here in summer the sun sets almost every night across the sea. The house is beautifully furnished and the location is great. So happy we found this NI gem!

Another great stay at Splash Cottage
Returned to Splash for a short stay(Friday-Monday) with grown up children (adults) loads of space for everyone. This cottage is the perfect family retreat with amazing views over the Lough. Cosy and snuggly for winter nights in. Paul and Gillian are the perfect hosts! We arrived on a cold November Friday night but we were greeted at the cottage by Paul who had thoughtfully put the heating on for us so it was wonderfully warm. Perfectly positioned for a short walk into bangor but not too close to noise (apart from the sea) Within easy walking distance to the train station for a short journey into Belfast city and shopping. Many beautiful beaches near by for long winter walks. Splash Cottage is well equipped and surprisingly spacious, real coal fire if needed but honestly the cottage is warm enough. Lovely furnishings and extras. Would highly recommend splash or high tide cottage (next door) to any family or couple who would like a comfortable stay with welcoming hosts, near to a multitude of activities but secluded enough for privacy. Well equipped kitchen for cooking but very near to excellent restaurants also many takeaways will deliver! Bonus. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again to Paul & Gillian, see you again soon!

Splash Cittage - You won't want to leave
On arrival Paul, the owner, showed us round and left us a lovely welcome pack. We booked the cottage having seen the photos on online, and as lovely as they are, they don't show just how spacious the cottage is., We spent 2 weeks in Bangor and had a fantastic time, seeing as much as we could but always looking forward to getting back to the cottage, so much so that we made sure we made the most of the cottage and spent a few of those days just being there. With your own uninterrupted view of the sea, you will find yourself wanting to come back to this home from home as we do. Paul has found the perfect balance of being at hand should you need him, and giving you all your time to enjoy the cottage as your own, so much so that my husband , 7 year old daughter & I felt completely at home and didn't want to leave! I have no hesitation in highly recommending a stay in Splash Cottage on your visit to Bangor, and my only reservation in doing so would that it may compromise the availability for when we come back!

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.
We had a wonderful stay in High Tide cottage which is right on Belfast Loch. The house is well equipped and has ample parking nearby. Paul was a very welcoming host. We will definitely stay here again. The views are great and a short walk takes you to Bangor town centre or Ballyholme beach. Fabulous holiday!

Great base for sailing
We stayed at High Tide Cottage for the Sigma 33 nationals. It's a great base for that, easy walking distance to the Marina and RUYC. There was plenty of space for sailors and their gear plus all the stuff we hauled off the boat to go racing. My daughter is already eyeing up a holiday here too, and I'm sure it would make a great base to explore the area from, or just sit in the garden watching the guillemots. Paul was a really helpful guy too.

Make a SPLASH in Bangor, N.I.
Had an absolutely great time staying at Splash Cottage in Bangor. What a wonderful place to stay...lots of charm, lots of room and a wonderful location right on the sea. Close to downtown Bangor and fantastic seaside views walking along the coastline. I can easily understand why Splash Cottage is as popular as it is, and we would gladly stay there in our return visits to Bangor. We highly recommend Splash Cottage!!!
