Photos and Description of the County Antrim vacation cottage rental Causeway coast hide-a-way, traditional cottage on the North Coast of Ireland

Traditional Irish country cottage hidden on the beautiful causeway coast close to the Giants Causeway, Bushmills Distillery, Royal Portrush Golf Club and the Carrick a Rede rope bridge. Secluded and close to miles of beautiful National Trust sea shore walks. Sea Fishing trips where the Irish Sea and the Atlantic meet offer great fun days and fresh water salmon fishing on the Bush river are available by arrangement. Visit Rathlin island to see one of the most important sea bird nesting areas in western Europe. Rent fast sea going RIBS in Ballycastle to tour this magnificent coastline. See the Giants Causeway from the sea or visit Robert the Bruce's cave on Rathlin the choices are endless. From your base in Ballintoy self catering will be a pleasure, fresh fish off the small boats fishing these waters and good resturants in abundance. Fine wines may be ordered in advance and be ready for you when you arrive at your self catering cottage. Please request details when you book.

The Causeway coast is rich with natural beauty and good places to eat. Only a few minutes away from your traditional Irish cottage you find such wonders as the Giants Causeway, Whitepark Bay, Torr Head, Rathlin Island, The White Rocks Portrush and the Bush river that feeds the famous Busmills Irish Whisky Distillery. Great resturants and traditional pub fare helps to replace the calories lost on the beautiful coast walks. The National Trust has protected many miles of beautiful walks along beaches that join cliff tops to headlands from where you can watch the flow and ebb of the great tides that sweep in an out of the Irish sea from the North Atlantic. Fishing is rich as is the sea bird life on Rathlin, reached by regular daily ferry crossings or with fast RIBs that offer tours of the area. Some of Ireland's most famous golf clubs such as The Royal Portrush are only a few minutes away from your base in Ballintoy. To the south the majestic 7 Glens of Antrim are only half an hour away.

little gem

NathalieD Belfast
Review Submitted: September 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I have stayed in the cottage twice with my parents (from France) and daughter. It is a lovely little cottage - tiny but incredibly well organised (it makes you consider at all that badly used space at home!)- and the area is fantastic. We never tire of it. The cottage is particularly well situated because there is a lot to do around it with or without a car: there’s the harbour below .. and its coffee shop, the beach, the lovely walk to whitepark bay, to the rope bridge, it’s handy to the shop and pubs in the village, etc.
There is a lovely track along the cliffs that loops around. The cottage is just on the way and it makes for a very nice evening stroll.
Unfortunately this year every walk was punctuated by a shower.. which gave us magnificent rainbows (to my daughter's delight) but didn't allow us to live outside as much as we had last September (when we had been able to eat outside most days -lovely view of the white church, sea, sheep island and Rathlin from the table outside on the front lawn).
So lovely place... I would highly recommend it as long as nobody books when I want to go : )
Nathalie.

Lovely, cosy weekend

Review Submitted: November 26, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
The cottage is wonderfully situated in Ballintoy, with a great local pub and a cliff walk very close by. The log stove made the cottage very cosy and we found the bed extremely comfy!!

Thanks!

Northern star

jrmeg Westport, Co. Mayo,
Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My wife and I spent three nights in the cottage. Northern Star is tiny and cosy.The quiet location suited us and our small pet. Clever use is made space and furniture. We found it clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the walks, golf and a drive along the coast and through the glens of Antrim. A complimentary bottle of wine in front of the stove added to our enjoyment.We were pleased with our meals in the Nook and Smugglers Inn. We needed good footwear and suitable clothing. We recommend it to a retired couple with a small pet.

Northern Star cottage

Sheila J Lancashire, UK
Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Northern Star cottage is one of the loveliest we have ever stayed in, due to the high standards of cleanliness and the little things such as the quality of the bed linen, and (for someone as fussy as me), the cutlery. The cottage is ideally located for touring the beautiful Antrim coast, but central enough to reach Donegal for a day trip. The owners provided excellent customer care and I have already recommended this property to 2 friends planning to visit Ireland in the future.

The Perfect Getaway

LindseyAnn Essex
Review Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Clem & Jayne's cottage is the ideal place to holiday; it was exceptionally clean and the location is perfect for visiting all the tourist attractions (such as the Giants' Causeway) and also to take advantage of the superb walks - on beaches and cliff tops alike. The village of Ballintoy, which is within very easy walking distance of the cottage, has 2 good pubs with decent and inexpensive food. We were warmly welcomed and our 2 young dogs were also accommodated which made our holiday complete. Well worth a visit to enjoy exploring the County Antrim coast.
