About this property

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.

About the host

Hosted by Gillian Crawford

Host profile image
Cissy's cottage has been in our family for as long as I can remember. Myself, my husband and two boys (Ross & Harry) live up the lane from Cissy's , The Garden and The Barn and we do all the work and maintenance ourselves. We are at hand all the time to help with anything needed.

Why they chose this property

I travelled the world but cannot think of anywhere I'd rather live than here. We are blessed to be surrounded by green fields with grazing cows and and I never grow tired of the mountain views. We are only 4 miles from golden sandy beaches where I love to walk and the salmon fishing in the local river is great from July to October according to my husband. We are also lucky to be within a short drive of world renowned golf courses.

What makes this property unique

Cissy's cottage is so unique to this part of Ireland as so many thatched cottages have been destroyed here in the north.
