About this property

Butterlump Cottage - coastal cottage next to the beach with private hot-tub.

Beautiful cosy cottage less than 100 meters from the beach. Situated in beautiful County Down and on the most easterly point of the island. After a day exploring or simply walking you can relax in front of the wood burning stove in the evening or unwind in the covered hot-tub within the private garden and patio. Perfect!
