Description from owner

Description

Clintagh Cottages (Pike, Perch and Eel cottage) are family run self-catering cottages located near the historic, Georgian village of Hillsborough, County Down, in a quiet rural landscape of drumlins, lakes and islands. An ideal location for relaxing from the stresses of modern life.

The cottages have been meticulously renovated from old 19th barns, and feature exposed beams and log-burning stoves. The cottages have an old world charm, but inside you will find every modern appliance - flat screen TV, DVD player, microwave, dishwasher, tumble dryer etc.

Visitors can relax and enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of the area by using the private facilities at Lough Aghery (150 metres) for fishing or bird watching. Those who want something more energetic can go water-skiing, horse riding or cycling to local attractions such as the birth place of Harry Ferguson (Massey ferguson Tractors). The Mourne mountains and the county Down coast are within easy reach, and at just 8 miles from the city of Lisburn and 17 miles from Belfast, the cottages are ideally situated for those who want to indulge in shopping and visit Northern Ireland's capital city to see such attractions as the Titanic Centre.

Pike cottage has 3 double bedrooms, one with ensuite. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor. There is a another bathroom with a roll top bath and a further bathroom/wet room.

Pike cottage is available to rent on a weekly basis.but shorter or longer rentals can also be arranged

“Wonderful Cottage”

Reviewed 31 Aug 2020

Owners so welcoming and helpful without being in your face. Amazing scenery. Lovely cottage perfect for a family with all the required mod cons. Close enough to Belfast for easy day trips without being too close to the city. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a quiet week in easy reach of many of NI's fantastic days out. Kids loved feeding Mr Felix (The Goat) in the adjacent field.
