A big warm welcome to White Cottage, which I have lovingly restored and extended to make what I think is a wonderfully cosy home that I hope you will really enjoy. I have kept as many of the original features as possible, so you may notice a few little quirky features – I just love them 😊.

With wonderful sunsets from the decking area, perfect for a cocktail or two, and a good sized garden for children and pets, plenty of seating, a large fire pit and a summer house in the corner, the south facing garden really is a fabulous spot.

Inside, you can enjoy a stunning, very well equipped, kitchen and open plan dining area, leading to a large sitting room, with three sets of double doors to fully enjoy the balcony and garden, with a cosy wood burning stove for chillier evenings.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, one with en-suite bath/shower and a luxurious family bathroom with a large free standing bath and walk-in shower.

There is also a cloakroom with a separate toilet downstairs. One downstairs room off the hallway is reserved for our own possessions.

White Cottage is a former railway cottage, located right next to the stunning Co. Down coast, just a stone's throw from the beach and only a 10 to 15 minute walk along the coastal path to Holywood town. It is an ideal location for both business and pleasure, being a very short walk to Marino halt, with regular services to Bangor and Belfast Grand Central Station.

A train from White Cottage towards Bangor will take you to the Culloden Estate and Spa, the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, many famous golf courses and Crawfordsburn Country Park, before arriving at the seaside town of Bangor, with its wonderful marina and parks.

Towards Belfast, the train will take you to the beautiful town of Hollywood, with its numerous bars, restaurants, local produce, unique shops and art galleries, not forgetting Holywood Golf Club, where Rory McIlroy first started out!

Further along you can access George Best Belfast City Airport, the Titanic Quarter with Titanic Belfast, museums and leisure attractions, before arriving at Belfast Grand Central Station, with its links to the whole island of Ireland. Coaches serve both Belfast and Dublin International Airports from this hub, along with trains to Dublin and the North Coast. Top attractions include the Giant’s Causeway, a World Heritage Site, the world famous golf course, Royal Portrush, host to the Open Championship in 2019 and 2025, and the Game of Thrones Studio Tour.

I do hope that you have a lovely stay at White Cottage and any feedback you wish to make would be greatly appreciated. There is a guest/visitor book at the house should you choose to write about your stay. If you are happy with your stay/experience, the best form of advertising is by word of mouth, so please feel free to spread the word.
