Traditional Irish Thatched Cottage

Set on the foothills of the magnificent Binevenagh mountain (an "area of outstanding natural beauty" and Game of Thrones filming location), this 18th century traditional Irish cottage has been sensitively restored with modern conveniences to provide a cosy and comfortable retreat from the pace of everyday life. Only 4 miles from an award winning, golden sandy beach on the Atlantic ocean. A short drive from world class golf courses, the Giant's Causeway and a short walk to Bellarena train station

Cissy's cottage is an 18th century farm cottage. It has been been restored to keep the character and original pieces can be seen throughout. With gas heating and instant hot water, you can experience peace and tranquility with all the modern conveniences.

Other things to note

Due to the nature of the cottage, the door frames are very low and caution must be taken when entering and exiting to avoid bumping your head.

Cissy's cottage is one of three converted farm buildings and shares outdoor space with The Barn.

This cottage was amazing. Everything was perfect and was very homely and gave a real feel of how it would have been to live in a traditional thatched roofed cottage but with some 21st century comforts. The owner was great with communication as well. Was delighted with the delicious and thoughtful treats left on arrival too.

Lovely location and great thing being pet friendly. Gillian super host and even left a welcome basket with lovely goodies. A big bonus too was the weather, but Cissies cottage was a wee dream. Hopefully return next year. Really enjoyed our time and Bella loved it.

Amazing

Thank you too Gillian a wonderful host. The property is so cosy and comfortable. Lovely character and equipped with everything you need. We arrived in snow and woke to a lot more, so the views were amazing. The log burner kept us cosy. And one of the best nights sleep as the bed was so comfortable. We hope to come back soon. Thank you

Beautiful, tranquil spot.

Arrived to the unheard of sound of a gently sleeping cow... perfect stillness under a starlit sky...settled beside a warm log fire... then awoke to the view of Bienevenagh under clear blue sky...it doesn't get much better.
