“Absolutely perfect.”
+This little cottage is an absolute gem. It has been so tastefully refurbished with a lovely nod to its past heritage. There is everything you could possibly need here for you stay, with thoughtful touches like bathrobes and toiletries. The log burner has clear, easy instructions for use and gives a lovely cosy feel to the cottage at night. Immaculately clean throughout the property, I would love to stay again and can highly recommend.
−There was nothing at all I didn’t like. However the station is a working one with numerous trains throughout the day & night.This didn’t bother me one iota but some people may find the noise intrusive at times.

“Loving Railway Time.”
+If you love railway history and a genuinely fascinating county Antrim setting, this is for you! It's a handy wee walk down to Cullybackey where there were beautiful floral displays abounding and historic buildings / explanatory panels. Local amenities are good and the Sleeper has a rail charm. I loved waking up to the sound of the day's first train. Finally, there's a great coffee shop on site which opens at 8.00 weekdays and later on a Saturday.
−I had a slight bit of trouble opening the key holder, to the point where I thought I had the wrong combo, but persistence and technique paid off.

“Beautifully presented property”
+Beautifully presented eclectic accommodation!! It's an active station platform with an amazing cafe next door. Lots of details in the property with a booklet explaining the history of the station itself. We were at a wedding in the Galgorm, 20 minute walk away!
−Nothing at all.

“Quirky accommodation with everything you need”
+I loved the location as we we able to arrive by train and then also go out for the day on the train. Great coffee shop attached to the building, with breakfast options . The accommodation was a excellently refurbished station building and the host (Anne) did an excellent job putting in all the modern facilities but retained the old charm of the building. Great communications from host and everything you needed for a break away. Will certainly use again.
−That we couldn't stay for longer

“Railway Sleeper Cullybackey”
+Loved location and the quaintness of the building. Very sympathetically restored and a real sense of history preserved. A really refreshing and comfortable stay. So handy for the train - we had a lovely trip to Londonderry which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would have no hesitation in booking here again.
−Nothing really to dislike

“Excellent railway station accommodation”
+Excellent accommodation in a very handy location for all of County Antrim. Contact with Anne was through a variety of means. Next door to an very popular cafe/coffee shop.
−Unfortunately there is no carparking on site. However, there is a very large Park & Ride carpark just across the road.

“Off the scale, wonderful, beautiful place x”
+There are no words, to say that are negative about The Railway Sleeper. Beautiful place , lovely hosts, warm, ... the bomb !! We have been here twice and we will be here again in September. Anne is one of the most beautiful people that we have ever encountered. Stay here people, it is a steal . M & I have stayed in The Bushmills Inn for £470 per night (Masters Distiller's for 2 nights + food, drinks etc. probably £1500+ Lough Eske, that the snobby people rave about. Harvey's Point, ......better, we love it. lovely wee scones in the morning lol ) Come on people xxx
−Sugar sachets in the tin, as opposed to the sugar that seemed a little tainted, which we did not use.
