About this property

5 Star Coachmans cottage. Built in the mid 18th Century.

The cottage was used to accommodate the coach and its driver, who served the Hutchinson family, who lived at Stranocum Hall. It is part of Stranocum Hall but is self contained.

The cottage fell into substantial disrepair until it was fully renovated by the current owners of Stranocum Hall. Set in the grounds of the Hall, Coachman's Cottage has a spacious and airy open plan living, dining and well equipped kitchen main area. The kitchen has a dishwasher, coffee machine, fridge with ample freezer compartment, microwave oven, induction hob and full-sized oven. There is also a log burner in the living area for those cosy evenings during the cooler months of the year, although the cottage is fully centrally heated and has underfloor heating in the bathrooms for extra comfort.

Each bedroom has its own ensuite and there is also a shower room on the ground floor. All bathrooms have heated towel rails as well as underfloor heating, and a complimentary welcome toiletry pack including body wash, shampoo and body lotion is provided. The twin beds in the second bedroom can be made into a super-king, should the need arise. A cot and other baby equipment can be provided by prior request.

There is a separate utility room with a washer dryer, ironing facilities and space to hang out drying clothes. No need to bring bottled water as the entire mains water is fitted with a comprehensive in line filtration system. Outside, there is a private patio and yard, which is exclusively available for use by guests.

The Dark Hedges are just two miles away. Other famous sites are also on the door step, including several locations used for filming Game of Thrones®, such as Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, Ballintoy Harbour, Murlough Bay, Cushendun Caves and Downhill beach. The famous Royal Portrush Golf Course is a 20-minute drive away - excellent for those visitors to The 148th Open.

The owners enjoy meeting new people and will make every effort to ensure your stay is one to remember. There are 2 dogs living with the owners, however they are not allowed to roam free when there are guests staying.

Wonderful country home
We really enjoyed staying at the Coachmens Cottage. Beautiful, pleaceful place to stay. Everything was well thought out and immaculately clean. Great location for make trips to sites along the coast while avoiding coastal crowds. Homemade breakfast breads, fruits and cookies were a plus. Would love to visit again!! Homeowners were very responsive.

Beautiful cottage in Ballymoney
A perfect location for exploring all that Northern Ireland has to offer. The property was beyond what we expected and was equipped with everything we needed to make us feel at home and comfortable. Our host, Eileen, greeted us upon our arrival and made sure that the fridge and pantry were filled with all we needed for our breakfasts. A place to return to when we are again in Ireland.

Fantastic cottage and great location
The photos do not do the property justice, absolutely wonderful cottage and location. The hosts left a welcome pack of fruit, bread, milk, orange juice and biscuits which was very thoughtful. Easy to communicate with and had a wonderful stay. The location is 20 mins from the awesome Causeway Coast and we had a great time.

What makes this property unique

We loved the history of the place and all the stories attached to the Hall. The views over the surrounding countryside are glorious, including the fabulous Knocklayd and its different appearances, depending on the weather conditions. When we first saw the Coachman's Cottage in its derelict state, we resolved to restore it to turn it into a destination of its own. We are currently working on the Hall itself (the Coachman's Cottage and the Hall are our family home) to restore those original Georgian features.
