Types of Cottages

Traditional Irish Cottages

Traditional Irish cottages often feature thatched roofs and cosy wood-burning stoves or hearths, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. These cottages reflect the rich cultural heritage of Ireland and provide a truly authentic experience for any traveller, taking you back to the by-gone days of old, country-cottage living.

Converted Barns

For those looking for something a bit different, converted barns offer rustic charm with unique architectural features. Some of these properties have been carefully restored to maintain their original character while providing modern amenities for a comfortable stay. Enjoy spacious interiors and the charm of exposed wooden beams, stone walls, and large, open-plan living areas.

Seaside Bothies

Seaside bothies provide a cosy and intimate escape by the coast. Bothies were originally built as temporary accommodation for farm labourers, fishermen, shepherds, or other workers who needed shelter while working in isolated locations. Nowadays, you’ll find them converted to provide a unique place to stay along our coastline, upgraded to provide warmth, shelter, and all the amenities you need for a comfortable getaway.

Old Irish Farmhouses

Step back in time with a stay in at an old Irish farmhouse on the Causeway Coast. These properties, often built from limestone and other local materials, exude historical charm. Some have been modernised to provide sleek, contemporary interiors, while others retain their vintage appeal, allowing you to enjoy an authentic countryside experience.

Modern Comfort Meets Vintage Charm

While these cottage rentals may be steeped in history, they do not compromise on comfort. Many of the properties listed have been renovated to incorporate modern conveniences, ensuring a luxurious stay. Expect features such as fully equipped kitchens, contemporary bathrooms, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Meanwhile, other cottages retain their original charm, offering a quaint and cosy environment that transports you to a bygone era.

Certified Quality and Assurance

All of the cottages and converted buildings listed on our page are certified accommodation properties with Tourism NI. This certification guarantees that each property meets the highest standards of safety, cleanliness, and comfort, allowing you to book with confidence.
