Description

Winter Weekends, Christmas short breaks, Spring 2024 getaways booking now!

Crayfish Cottage, Portrush: Spacious, stylish, seaside cottage 2 minute drive to East Strand Beach and Portrush Harbour. Free-WIFI, wood-burning stove, super-comfy beds, two separate lounge areas, family-friendly (cot, toys, dvds, family games and jigsaws etc), "secret" garden, patio and BBQ area, private off-road parking, brilliantly-equipped kitchen and utility room.

Built in the 1930s, Crayfish Cottage is a traditional seaside cottage packed with beautiful art deco features, but with all the comforts of a thoughtful, modern restoration.

Sleeping 6 - 2 double bedrooms (downstairs), 1 twin bedroom (upstairs) - each bedroom offers crisp white sheets and snuggly duvets. The family bathroom has a shower, separate bath and complimentary Faith in Nature toiletries. The fully-equipped kitchen leads to the dining area. Drying room with washing machine, tumble dryer, full height fridge freezer and storage space for rods, clubs, boards, boots and other kit.

Deep armchairs and sofas surround the wood-burning stove in the lounge . The Reading Room on the first floor is a place to relax, read and play games. With a twin bedroom just opposite, this makes a brilliant top floor hang-out for younger guests in the family who get to enjoy their very own space.

With downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms this property would also be suitable for older guests and those with limited mobility (apologies - no wheelchair access).

There's plenty of outdoor space too with a lawn area at the front and a hidden "Secret Garden" to the side with BBQ area, picnic table and patio creating a magical space for sitting under the stars (yes, perhaps with a coat on knowing our weather!)

Crayfish Cottage is a two minute drive or a 10-15 minute walk to the heart of Portrush town right amongst favourite restaurants, bars and shops. The nearest supermarket is a 5 minute walk away.

Getting around

To make the most of the stunning Causeway Coastal Route - with its post-card pretty villages, white sand beaches and wild rock formations - we'd recommend a car. Car hire is available from both airports, ferry terminal and the nearby town of Coleraine. Portrush Harbour and East Strand Beach is only a 15 minute walk from Crayfish Cottage. The nearest supermarket is 5 minutes away (delicious fresh bread, fruit and provisions). At the end of our road is the main Coleraine Road (A2) with bus stops. From there you can see Portrush station with links to Belfast and Derry (the Coleraine-Derry route has some beautiful scenary).

Interaction with guest

We'll be there to greet you on arrival (socially-distanced), give you the keys and show you around the property. We operate a 45 minute arrival window so please arrange an arrival time that suits you and let us know that you're on your way.

If you're travelling with young children, just let us know. We can offer a cot, highchair, safety gate and basket of toys.
