About this property

Porthole Cottage, Bushmills - a place to unwind and relax.

PORTHOLE COTTAGE has a superb location on the Causeway Coastal Route set in farmland above Whitepark Bay. The cover picture is of Ballintoy, a Game of Thrones location convenient to the famous Dark Hedges, also featured in Game of Thrones. Many attractions of the Causeway Coast region are just a five minute drive - eg, Bushmills, Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, Portballintrae, Dunluce Castle and Ballycastle. Ideally placed for visiting Belfast, Londonderry and Donegal. For Daniel O’Donnell fans a day trip to his home area of Kincasslagh in Donegal is a real treat.
