Beach Cottages in Northern Ireland

What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our first visit to Northern Ireland - we were a group of 5 (2 adults & 3 teenagers & visited end May/beginning June '23).

  We weren't really sure what to expect, but we really couldn't have chosen better. The property is gorgeous on the inside, has EVERYTHING you could need & more. It has a fantastic view of the sea & golf course. You can quite easily sit at the dining table & just gaze out for hours!! The sun goes down much later in Castlerock than where we live in the East of England & so we could accomplish a lot in a day & still have time to be hypnotised by the beautiful sunsets! The sun sets after 10.30pm!! The cottage is ideally located to the beach (a short walk away - & what a lovely one it is, too - we spent lots of time there as we were very lucky with the weather) & it is also well located to visit other areas. We visited the Giant's Causeway, the Titanic Museum, 2 of the teens went on the Game of Thrones studio tour in Banbridge whilst the remaining 3 of us 'hung out' in the town itself, which is very nice. We saw the Mussenden Temple & the mansion ruins, too, which were well worth a visit & the view...well...not sure it gets much better! All in all all 5 of us were sorry to leave. We would certainly recommend staying there to anyone.

  We had a wonderful stay at this property.

  It has a great location with lovely views of the town and Carlingford Lough. It is conveniently situated with easy access to the town. The rooms are spacious and well laid out with comfortable furniture. Everything we needed was there. If we had a wish list it would be to add a smart tv so that we could watch netflix etc. We missed having an ensuite but the bathroom was handy to all bedrooms so it wasn't a serious issue. The second toilet was useful. We would have preferred dog proof fencing at the front of the property or perhaps a fully fenced backyard. There was no barrier between the house at both ends to prevent our small dog from leaving the property had it tried to. The rear fence slats were a little wide or at least appeared to be consequently we had to stand guard whilst our Zoe went outside. All in all a great property and a credit to its owners. Thanks for allowing us to spend a week there, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh and thanks so much for the goodies you left for us, tea cakes and crisps etc.

  Seacoast Cottage was fantastic from start to finish.

  The property manager, Eileen, met us on arrival and was brilliant.She explained everything you would need to know, heating controls etc and had even provided us with a very much appreciated welcome pack which even included treats for our dog! The property is stunning and has everything any traveller could wish for. The views are breathtaking and sitting in the kitchen area with a morning coffee is hard to beat. It is literally a five minute stroll from the beach and shops and a ten minute drive from Coleraine town centre. The gardens are safe and secure should you wish to bring your furry friend with you and a ten minute drive has you on, in my opinion, the best beach in Northern Ireland, Benone. Honestly, can say it is the best holiday home we have ever stayed in, and we've stayed in quite a few! Would we return? Most definitely yes. Would we recommend it? Yes, without hesitation. Can't wait to return. Many thanks for a great break in a truly stunning home. Mark, Paula and Reese

  Seacoast is a very nice cottage to stay in.

  It is beautifully decorated with very high quality furnishings throughout, and the owners have provided everything one could possibly want while on holiday. Eileen (the caretake) was extremely friendly and helpful, and Richard the owner contacted us personally as well and so we knew there were people we would be able to contact if needed. The views are gorgeous from all the front windows, and it is lovely being able to walk to the beach from the house. Castlerock has a few small shops so we could pick up things like milk without having to get in the car. There are beautiful places to visit nearby: we loved walking up to the headland above Castlerock to see the sunset, and the views from Binevenagh (just 20 minutes in the car) are breathtaking. We would certainly like to go back, as it is such a lovely cottage and we have only scratched the surface of places to visit nearby.

  From the moment Eileen met us at the door with the keys we felt right at home here.

  Lovely house, cozily furnished and so comfortable, with fantastic views of the beach from the picture window in the living room. Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne is practically across the street, and we loved having such easy access to its beautiful grounds and well maintained walking paths. The house is just a few miles from some of the most spectacular stops on the Causeway Coastal Route (Dunluce Castle, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge), and we had a great time exploring the area and its many wonders. There are a couple of good dining options in Castlerock (the Meatbox makes amazing burgers), and plenty of options nearby for grocery shopping if you prefer to prepare your own meals. A wonderful experience overall, would be happy to stop here again. Highly recommended.
