About this property

Coleraine 7.3 miles.

With off-road parking, an enclosed lawned garden with patio, and a collection of well-appointed living spaces, this delightful property welcomes a large family or group of ten who are seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape in this North Coast corner of beautiful Northern Ireland. Once you step into your lovely new home, you will discover an array of tastefully-presented living areas, including a fully-equipped kitchen diner featuring every appliance you’ll need to rustle up delicious, home-cooked dinners that can be savoured around the table in the dining room. When it’s time to relax, kick back on the sofa in the sitting room whilst you watch a film or two on the TV. When it’s time for bed, be sure to refresh with a soak in the bath or a rejuvenating shower before you finally settle in for a well-earned sleep in one of the four bedrooms, which include a double bedroom with its very own en-suite. If you can tear yourself from your wonderful new abode, jump in the car and set out to explore what your local area has to offer.

If you fancy a cup of coffee, Blackheath pottery is a stone’s throw away, while a tasty pub lunch can be enjoyed in the Brown Trout Inn, Aghadowey. Just a short car journey away, there are a wide choice of restaurants along the North Coast including Amici, Portstewart and the Wine Bar Complex, Portrush; traditional fish and chips can also be enjoyed in Harry’s Shack on the National Trust Portstewart Strand. There are many attractions for children and young people, such as Curry’s Amusements in Portrush and the Jet Centre Coleraine with mini-golf, cinema and 10-pin bowling. The stunning beaches of Castlerock, Benone and Downhill are only a brief car journey away, or if you prefer the scenic route, catch a train from Castlerock to Belfast, offering picturesque views past Downhill Beach through to Londonderry. Stunning places to walk are plentiful, including the National Trust Forest at Mussenden and the coastal paths in the Ulster Way. For an unforgettable stay in Northern Ireland, look no further than Craiglea Cottage.

Set between Swatragh to the south and Coleraine to the north, enjoying terrific positioning in-between the Binevenagh and Sperrin Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you can find the village of Garvagh. Lying on the banks of the Agivey River in County Londonderry, the village is best known for the stone clock tower that lies in the centre of the settlement, which doubles as a cenotaph, along with being the setting of the 1813 'Battle of Garvagh', for which a song was later composed. The village houses the Garvagh Museum, several convenience stores, cafes, a butchers, and a gift shop, as well as an array of restaurants and takeaways, including the Vines Wine Bar & Restaurant, The Pantry, the Lucky Dragon Chinese Takeaway, and Bee Gee's Fish & Chips. A short drive from Garvagh will bring you to a number of noteworthy landmarks, such as Garvagh Forest and The Garvagh Pyramid, Gortnamoyagh Forest and the Errigal Glen Trail, whilst a full day out can be had at Portstewart. Accessible by car, the coastal town is also brimming with exciting pubs and restaurants, and invites eager visitors to spend time ambling along the National Trust spot of Portstewart Strand, soak in sea views on the The Portstewart Panoramic Wheel, or even enjoy a refreshing dip in the Port Na Happle swimming basin.
