Photos and Description of the County Londonderry vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 6

The property is a three bedroom semi-detached house. It is situated in the attractive town of Portstewart on the majestic north coast. The town has a picturesque harbour and promenade with a two-mile long beach. On the Promenade you will find a children play area, paddling pool and more. The house is off the main road , literally about a six minute/0.8km walk to the Promenade.

There is an open plan Living/Dining Area and a separate Kitchen downstairs, with two double and one single bedrooms upstairs. The living/dining area, hall and upstairs bedrooms all have wooden floors. The stairs and landing are carpeted. Outside there is a garage where you can hang your wet suits, store your surfboards, bicycles, etc. There is quite a large front side garden and enclosed side and rear gardens to keep the little ones safe. On the patio there is garden furniture (table and chairs). Fuel for the fire is also available in the coal-house.

There are so many things to see and do in the area and beyond. Here are a few suggestions;

- Stroll down to the Promenade and peruse the shops

- Walk from the house, over the hill to the coastal path, the Strand, Barmouth or the Promenade and beyond.

- Play bowls, tennis, putting, golf or surf on Portstewart Strand Within a few miles there are Golf courses in Portstewart (3), Portrush (2), Bushmills and a 9 hole course between the two Ports.

- to the east visit Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Distillery, Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-rede rope Bridge and Ballycastle and Rathlin Island. (Bring your National Trust Card)

- to the west visit Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne for a walk.(One of the most photographed scenes in Ireland)

- Travel by train from Coleraine to Derry/Londonderry, one of Michael Palin’s Great Railway Journeys. Walk on the historic Derry walls.

- A ferry will take you from Magilligan to Greencastle in Donegal where you can go for a wonderful days drive round the Inishowen Peninsula.

- You must check out the Antrim Coast Road, described as 'one of the top 5 driving trips in the world'.

- A day trip to our capitol, Belfast, is only 1 hour 10 minutes away.

- In Portstewart there are many restaurants,or try Portrush for a change.

- The nearest Tourist Information Office is in Coleraine; the Library situated below the Townhall on the Promenade has a little information, the Library also has internet access, which is free to members or a small charge if not.

Golf Situated on the beautiful North Antrim Causeway coast is the host for the 2012 Irish Open Golf Championship, Royal Portrush Golf Club. Being 5 miles from Portstewart, it occupies a triangle of giant sandhills which present magnificent views in all directions. The hills of Donegal in the west, the Isle of Islay and Southern Hebrides in the north, with the Giant's Causeway and the Skerries in the east. The course is overlooked by the ruins of 13th century Dunluce Castle and this gives its name to Royal Portrush's famous Dunluce course. Royal Portrush Golf Club is on everyone's list of top golf courses in Ireland and is often included in lists of the top golf courses in the world. As Ryder Cup star Darren Clarke recently said 'Royal Portrush is now rated to be in the top 12 golf courses in the world and should, indeed, be number one.'' Portrush is also the Home of 2010 U.S. Open Champion Graeme McDowell.

About Geoff and Hilda

I am a retired Civil Servant, and for most of my working life I was in the computer software and security business. I was born in Portstewart and lived there until I got married to Hilda in 1971,

when I moved to Belfast. Hilda trained and nursed in the RVH Belfast before and after we had 3 children. Hilda has now been a counsellor for the last 20 years. We now have four grandchildren.

Why Geoff and Hilda chose County Londonderry

1 Seafield Park was Hilda's family home from 1966 after moving from Belfast. Two years later Hilda moved back to Belfast to train as a nurse in the RVH. We have owned the house from about 2001. It has been fully renovated and fitted out with high quality furnishings, kitchen appliances and units.

We try to ensure that the property in kept in 5 star condition, not only for our own use but to share with you, our guests.

What makes this house unique

We have 3 grown up children and 4 grandchildren. They have all spent many happy holidays in this house which is now fully equipped and modernised for present day living. The property is in a peaceful location yet very convenient to the beach, our promenade and all the magnificent scenery of the North Coast and Donegal.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this property, Geoff and Hilda have thought of everything, the house is perfectly equipped for a family or a couple, with lots of thoughtful additional touches.

The property is situated just a few minutes walk from the beach and promenade, it is in a quiet location, with the beautiful rugged Northern Ireland coastline and its secrets just a walk or car drive away.

My children recommend the bunk beds and a trip to Morelli's for lovely ice cream!
Owner's Response: Sarah thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay. The coastline is certainly a big attraction to this area, with the world renowned Giant's Causeway, the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge (open all year), Bushmills Distillery and more, almost on our door step. Of course 2013 brings the "U.K. City of Culture" to Derry, about an hours drive to the west. The World Police and Fire Games are in the area in August.

Home away from home

5 of 5
Submitted: October 22, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Just spent a fabulous week- end with family and friends at Seafield Park, Portstewart. The house was clean, warm and very comfortable with a lovely garden for the boys to play in. The owners had forgotten nothing! Bedding was perfect, the kitchen was better stocked than my own at home and there were even toys, games and videos left for our use. We were so close to the town of Portstewart, a lovely play park, the beach and the rest of the magnificent Antrim Coast. All of this we thoroughly enjoyed, but the highlight of the holiday for the boys - the bunk beds of course!
Owner's Response: With three children and four grandchildren of my own, I have found that if you keep the children occupied and happy, that is half the battle. You have also proved that there is more than one season in the year to come to the seaside. We are glad you had such an enjoyable stay.

We were staying to play golf and the house is centrally located in Portstewart 2 minutes from Portstewart GC and 10 minutes from Portrush GC. We didn't have any problems and the house was well furnished and kitted out.

Would definitely stay again.
Owner's Response: Glad to hear you would come back. You could stay here for a week, not have to travel more than 30 minutes and play a different golf course every day......... and there's more than golf!

Great House in a great location

5 of 5
Submitted: October 1, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My wife, our 5 month old daughter and myself recently spent 3 nights at this property and had a great time.

We booked our stay directly through the owner Geoff. Although all our communication was via email and text we found Geoff extremely polite, helpful and fast to respond to any queries we had. He was very helpful in getting the cot set up just where we wanted. As we had never rented a self catering property before we were a bit wary when asked for the full amount plus a security deposit up front but have since learned this is normal when booking with such notice as we did. As for the security deposit we shouldn't have worried as the very efficient Geoff had it back in my bank account 2 days after our stay ended.

Onto the house itself. It's a lovely 3 bedroom semi detached situated 5 minutes walk from Portstewart promenade in a very quiet residential street. It's also 5 minutes walk from the coastal path which leads to the beautiful Portstewart strand. The location within Portstewart is ideal and Portstewart itself is a great place for exploring the north coast.

The house has 3 good size bedrooms. 2 of those contain a double bed with the other containing a bunk bed and is ideal for kids. The beds themselves are extremely comfortable and both of us slept very well throughout our stay. The bathroom is also upstairs and is large and bright.

Downstairs there is a large modern furnished living/dining room which contains a large sofa, armchair, reclining leather chair, dining table with chairs and a modern tv and sound system. There is also a good selction of dvds, books and magazines.

The kitchen is just next to the live room and contains all you would want when self catering. It has a cooker, hob, toaster, fridge, microwave and a large supply of pots, pans and other dishes. There is even a small quantity of basic supplies such as cooking oils, herbs, tea and coffee and there is a large supermarket a short drive away. The decor throughout is modern, clean and bright.

There is also a fully enclosed back garden which would be great for kids to get out and play in.

All in all we would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone and will hopefully be back again ourselves!
Owner's Response: Thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review of your stay with us. Our home is one of only a few rental properties that is within easy walking distance to both the seashore and the promenade where there are shops, restaurants and playground. The weather may be changeable, but then so is the scenery, the sea and the sunsets are rarely the same.
We try to help all our guests to get the most from their holidays and therefore if there are any special requirements we may be able to help.
