About this property

Ballintoy Beach Cottage, Romantic Seaside Getaway, Game of Thrones Location

You won’t find many locations in the world, let alone Northern Ireland, to rival the spectacular setting of our traditionally styled, secluded Beach Cottage. Ballintoy is famous for its picturesque church, 19th century harbour, small sandy beaches and more recently as a film location for several scenes in the, award winning, Game of Thrones television series. Our cottage is perched on the side of a cliff, overlooking the beach. You don’t get much closer to nature than this wonderful location where you will wake up to the sun rising, across the ocean, from behind Rathlin Island.

Apart from sporting activities, golf, water sports, walking, cycling, angling and horse riding, visitors have access to The Magnificent Seven Must Sees (Causeway Coast and Glens) on their doorstep – Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, Dark Hedges, Downhill Demesne and Hezlett House, Dunluce Castle, The Nine Glens of Antrim, Bushmills Distillery with the opportunity to discover a whole lot more.

Enjoy the warmth and home comforts offered by this accommodation as you absorb the beauty of the dramatic surroundings on your doorstep as well as that of the North Antrim Coastline and beyond.

The house offers comforts of a modern home with open plan kitchen/living room, bathroom with bath and large shower, two bedrooms with king size beds, raised decking area to front, just above the beach. Oil fired central heating and an open fire. Parking available.

A wonderful place to stay. Comfortable and clean with amazing views and a beach on your doorstep. Owners were very helpful. Great location for Giants Causeway and other interesting places. We had a great day in Belfast and another in Derry. We would highly recommend this cottage and we hope to return.

Absolutely stunning property!
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in June 2023 for our elopement. It was the best trip ever and we could not fault a single thing. Our 14 year old stayed with us on wedding eve and even he was amazed at the scenery from inside and outside the cottage. We were all blown away by the beautiful scenery and surroundings. This place is spotlessly clean and modern, well laid out information on the facilities heating etc. Perfect for a couples retreat or families alike.A trip we will never forget - everlasting memories made! Thank you so much Louise for your hospitality. Having the beach on your doorstep is something else! We are so glad we chose Ballintoy Beach Cottage for our elopement. We will be back!
