River Cottage

About this property

Offering lovely ground-floor accommodation in the bustling fishing village of Annalong, this delightful cottage is a great place from which to explore Northern Ireland's east coast.

Make your way into the homely sitting room after an afternoon walk and settle in for the evening, light the pretty, white woodburning stove for warmth, and rest on one of the two maroon sofas. Over in the open-plan living space you can discover a well-equipped and organised kitchen, host to all the essential appliances including an electric range oven and hob, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher, among several more. Whip up something tasty to eat at the dining table here, with this space also hosting a double sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements. Head outside and into the conservatory accessed through the garage, where a handy washing machine lives, and find some lovely seating looking out onto the long garden lawn and seating beyond, perfect for warm summer days. Retreat to one of the two double bedrooms both decorated in a light and bright fashion with floral bedding, served by a neat shower room offering a delightful spot to freshen up. Delight in an evening out to eat at the highly recommended Harbour Inn Restaurant, or stop in at the award-winning Galley Fish & Chip Shop.
