Whitehead holiday cottage rental with golf, fireplace, TV and rural retreat

Mallard Cottage, in the grounds of Altahammond House, is available to rent as a holiday let. The Cottage occupies an elevated, south-facing position, with the accommodation laid out to benefit from the excellent coastal views towards the Copeland Islands, Mourne Mountains, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Surely a unique property set amongst palm trees and situated on the world famous Causeway Coastal Route.

The Cottage is located within easy access of all Northern Ireland’s major ports and airports, it's a mile outside the beautiful Victorian seaside town of Whitehead and four miles from the historic walled town of Carrickfergus.

Both towns have railway stations and are on the Belfast-Larne train line.

From our position it is convenient for you to walk the Gobbins Cliff Path, visit locations made famous by Game of Thrones, ride on a steam train at the Railway Preservation Museum, visit Rathlin Island and marvel at its upside-down lighthouse and the thousands of sea birds and Puffins that nest there. Are you brave enough to cross the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, would you rather tour Bushmills Whiskey Distillery or spend time exploring Carrickfergus Castle with its ramparts, dungeons and even winding staircases with trip steps to deter any invaders? If it is the museums and galleries of Belfast that beckon you the City is only a 30minute drive away or take it easy on the train or bus.
