About this property

Porthole Cottage, Dunseverick, Bushmills

PORTHOLE COTTAGE has a superb location on the Causeway Coastal Route set in farmland above Whitepark Bay. The cover picture is of Ballintoy, a Game of Thrones location and it's only a short drive to the Dark Hedges, also featured in filming Game of Thrones. Many attractions of the Causeway Coast region are just a five minute drive - eg, Bushmills, Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, Portballintrae, Dunluce Castle and Ballycastle. Ideally placed for visiting Belfast, Londonderry and Donegal. For Daniel O’Donnell fans a day trip to his home area of Kincasslagh in Donegal is a real treat.

We loved our stay in this nice little cottage. Bill and Margaret are outstanding hosts and incredibly kind. Communication was great prior to arrival and during our stay. The cottage is quaint and was a perfect home base as we explored the coast of Northern Ireland!

Margaret and Bill were very accommodating hosts for my friends and I. This was our first time in Belfast, so they had lots of recommendations for us and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was cozy and tidy, and we all felt very welcomed. The location was very convenient as it was close drive to the Giant's Causeway, Dunluce & Dunseverick Castles, and many more must-see destinations. My friends and I have already talked about coming back as there is so much more to see.

Lovely cottage to stay in for our two days in Northern Ireland. Hosts were lovely and welcoming and we had a delicious cake waiting for us freshly baked on our arrival!! A special touch was when we arrived back from dinner out on our first evening and got into bed cold tired and exhausted from travelling that day. The bed was made lovely and warm with hot water bottles placed there especially by the host - it was so welcoming and nice. Needless to say we had a good nights sleep. I also loved coming home and lighting the logburner. Everything was so clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend avisit.
