I have kept as many of the original features as possible, so you may notice a few little quirky anomalies – I just love them 😊. I still have a bit left to do, but all in good time! White Cottage is a former railway cottage, located on the stunning Co Down coast, just a stone's throw from the beach and only a 10 to 15 minute walk along the coastal path to Holywood town. The huge advantage is that we are next to a railway halt with excellent train links to Bangor, Belfast and beyond. It is a very quiet line with little or no disturbance. White Cottage really is an ideal location for both business and pleasure. With wonderful sunsets from the decking area, perfect for a cocktail or two and a good sized garden for children and pets, the south facing garden really is a fabulous spot. There is a stunning kitchen leading onto a dining area with a couple of steps up to a huge sitting room with a sumptuously cosy wood burning stove. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, one with en-suite bath/shower and a luxurious family bathroom with a large free standing bath and walk-in shower. There is also a cloakroom with a separate toilet downstairs. You will have use of the whole place, apart from one room, which is kept under lock and key for all my bits!!, but the rest of the house is perfect for friendly and respectful friends and families who wish to explore the beautiful Co Down coast. Two minutes walk from my house, you can take a train to Sydenham within close proximity to George Best Belfast City Airport and the Titanic Quarter, also Belfast City Centre with its easy and frequent connections to Belfast International Airport and the stunning Antrim coast. Here you will find the Giant’s Causeway, a World Heritage Site and the world famous golf course, Royal Portrush, host to the 2019 Open Championship. Just one stop in the other direction is the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, where you can spend a day or two exploring and be taken back in time. With my business head on (owner of a Catering & Events Company) and when Covid 19 restrictions have eased, I am more than happy to arrange small gatherings at the house. Might it be drinks and canapés on the balcony enjoying the fantastic sunsets, a private dinner party or a chilled-out BBQ in the garden enjoying the fire pit, you can sit back and relax, knowing that your event is being managed by me, allowing you to enjoy your evening and your guests without the added hassle of ensuring that your guests glasses are topped up 😊. I do hope that you have a lovely stay at White Cottage and any feedback you wish to make would be greatly appreciated. There is a guest/visitor book at the house should you choose to write about your stay. If you are happy with your stay/experience, the best form of advertising is by word of mouth, so please feel free to spread the word. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

The property itself is very neat, comfortable and well equipped with a hypermarket only 5 mins away (by car) and a local supermarket within easy walking distance. A great place to stay, offering easy access to Belfast and beyond (by car or train). We would most certainly stay here again ! ##### Steve B.

White Cottage was just the perfect backdrop to a lovely holiday where both strands of my family could meet. The location was idyllic, the house so tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable. We love cooking and everything was perfectly set up for that. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed the beautiful garden and the treats!

I cannot begin to describe how lovely this home is. A-J has provided everything you could possible need in terms of comfort, cleanliness, kitchen ware, etc. Excellent communication before and during our stay. This home truly feels like home away from home. The area is lovely - we took advantage of the proximity to the lovely Cultra coastline and enjoyed lovely walks along the shoreline and into nearby Holywood. Thank you A-J! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back! ##### PAul M. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen M. 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was by far the best property I have ever rented. Check-in very easy, and wifi was great. It was very, very clean (immaculate!). Beds and bedding comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with any cooking tool you could possibly need or desire, the decor was beautiful. Kitchen and baths and entire property beautifully updated. The garden and deck area were amazing for relaxing. With the train station beside the cottage you are positioned to visit literally anywhere near or far in Ireland. We did not rent a car this trip. Quick train ride away you have Titanic Quarter and all the culture, restaurants and history in Belfast. Plenty of restaurants including the Dirty Duck with its amazing views and many others in Holywood one train stop away or a quick walk along the sea front. If you like long walks with beautiful scenery this is the place to stay. The Culloden Estate and Spa (afternoon tea, champagne garden and restaurants) and the Ulster Folk Museum are also one train stop away. Once you take the quick train ride into Belfast you can then travel down to Dublin or across the North Coast to many towns, including Derry. It is a nice break from driving. For day trips we used private tour company, Giants Causeway Tours (great (!!) family run business) there are also many bus tours out of Belfast, if you prefer. Sea Front walk is minutes away and has incredible views. Amazing coffee truck on the sea front.

A-J and Colin are immensely thoughtful people. We were able to have a last minute reservation for our daughter's party and we were welcomed into the home to towering balloons, well wishing banner and a'yes' to our RSVP. The home was filled with friends and we counted A-J and Colin, along with his daughter, as three of them. The cottage is meticulously maintained, fresh and airy. New landscaping with flowering shrubbery made for a delightful cuppa on the deck, alone, after a full day of festivities, to reflect. The apple-laden tree was a picture. We have our puppy, who could easily wreak havoc, but they love dogs, and ours is no exception, so I am not nervous when managing his puppydom. The beds are a dream, the towels large and soft, thick robes and slippers--a virtual spa feeling. Each room is well-tended and beautifully decorated and solid windows (never felt Storm Betty batting about the night of our stay) and thick doors, so I never worry waking anyone with my early rise. The deep baths are a dream and colored bath bombs, without the perfume, make them magical. One of our guests, a 13yo, said in a email, in regard to the party, "there was a great atmosphere." Yes, that is how White Cottage can be summed up. A big recommend to all. ##### Marian and Jim S.

A-J and Colin are two of the most hospitable hosts and kindest of people -- when you need them for anything, they are immediately available. When you need to feel as though you are in your own home and on your own schedule without interruption, the experience is lived. Our two months here flew by and it was really hard to not believe we were at home the whole time. A-J's design eye and expertise in what is comfortable is A1\. The beds are Glorious, the towels so large and soft, the sheets are clouds-soft. The heating system is so quiet and extremely efficient. We were not wanting for anything. Colin was always available to answer questions or solve an issue (where's a good pizza place?). Highly recommend! ##### Marian and Jim S.

White Cottage is simply exceptional. We spent three weeks in every country of the UK with three generations of my family (age 8 months to 70 years), and I can say not only was White Cottage the best of the many great holiday homes we chose, it was a destination unto itself. Our matriarch, who was traveling out of the country for the first time, put it best when she said, “Just being in a beautiful country cottage in Ireland is a dream come true.” The cottage had plenty of room for our party of 6, and it was spotless and massively appointed. A-J owns a catering business, so her kitchen is a chef’s dream, with appliances and spices galore. She even had champagne waiting for our arrival and a crib + toys for our little ones set up and ready! Not only are all the spaces perfect — including the massive, dreamy backyard — all the small decorative touches truly do give it a country feel in the middle of the city. Being a one-minute walk to the train station truly opens up the entire country, as well. You’re 20 minutes from Bangor, 15 from the city, and a couple hours from the Portrush and Giants Causeway. You’d be hard pressed to find a better home base or better value for your money in Northern Ireland. Cheers, A-J! ##### Will H.

Our daughter was getting married in Belfast, we wanted a property close to her home, where friends and family could gather over the wedding week, where my daughter and the bridesmaids could prepare on the wedding morning and we could have a relaxing time. The Cottage is most generously resourced with everything you could ever want, full of home comforts and practical equipment.. it was amazing. The outdoor deck with its stunning views was a great place to relax. AJ is the perfect host, excellent communication and support and really helpful in every way. I really cannot rate this property highly enough.. you will be lucky to book the Cottage. ##### Gillian N.

We absolutely adored this property, I don’t think it could’ve been any better. Do not hesitate to book this property, the house is amazing and almost better than a five-star hotel, the proximity to the train station is ideal and makes it so easy to head into Belfast if that is your plan. If and when we come back we will absolutely stay here again we were so sad to leave. ##### Caitlin K.
