Craig-E-Brae at Edenvale Holiday Cottages

Craig-E-Brae History
Craig-E-Brae was built in the mid 1800’s with a thatched roof. Then in 1936, the thatched roof was taken off, the walls raised and covered with a slate roof.

In 1964, the chimneys were rebuilt and the walls replastered. In 1996, a major restoration took place, modernising the facilities, whilst retaining its original (traditional) appearance and charm. The old peat shed has been converted into a single garage. The horsewalk is intact with some of the mechanical apparatus in place. This system of cogs, shafts and pulley wheels drove plunge churns and a threshing machine / corn cleaner in what was known as the Dairy. (the exposed stone built outhouses remain standing)

The cottage was owned by my Great Grandfather, Alexander Craig. Craig-e-Brae (Craig on the Hill) was named by my Great Uncle, James Craig, after he emigrated to America in 1906.

Lovely cottage, be aware of extra charges
The property itself is excellent, with a spacious kitchen, dining room and living room. The bedrooms are cosy. It is well located on the A26 with good access to the north coast, the Antrim glens and Belfast.The WiFi was slow (3Mbps, not the 25Mbps advertised) and charged at 10 per week.The heating oil and electricity were also charged based on use, which was not advertised on Vrbo- although the property is priced cheaply, so overall value remains decent even accounting for this unwelcome surprise.The kitchen was relatively sparsely kitted out, but clean. The linens and bathroom were also clean, but shelves and dressers were rather dusty and there were cobwebs.Robin had been in touch ahead of time regarding check in arrangements and provided contact details for any issues during our stay.Overall, this cottage is well located and lovely- but a moderate increase in the rent to incorporate WiFi and utilities would be preferable to various additional charges

Disappointed
Although the floors and bedding were clean there was layers of dust and grim on windowsills and shelves and cobwebs in the corners of windows. The double bedroom was dark even in the middle of the day because of the close overhanging tree branches and ivy The lounge was also very dark The kitchen was sparsely equipped with only 2mugs a mish mash of cutlery And 1 baking tray Robin was very helpful when we arrived as we were lost and he met us and guided us to the cottage.

A delightful old farmhouse
A lovely house to stay in but although it has everything you need, don't expect it to be super-lux and modern. However this is reflected in the very good value price. Robin Walker was a very good host and helped in any ways that were needed.

Great holiday
Robin was there to meet us when we arrived. He explained all about the property. We had a great time and enjoyed staying. The property is full of charm and character, with lots of original features, the kitchen was lovely and everything worked. We would return if the garden was made secure because our wee doggy had to stay on lead while we were sitting out, although I don't think he minded too much as he had two very large cats to watch. Although we felt away from it all we were pretty central for exploring and managed to see lots, we love northern ireland and the infrastructure is fantastic and far better than where we are from. The kids loved the big garden, we bought water guns and the outside tap came in handy during the hot weather as they had a great many water fights and a brilliant time. Thank you Robin 😊

Une maison sympathique
La maison est chouette, grande bien rénové. Par contre elle est assez sombre et froide. La communication avec le propriétaire est facile. Attention pour les français, le traducteur automatique d'Abritel, a coupé que l'électricité, le chauffage et le wifi sont à payer en supplément.
