3 Bedroom House in Cultra, Holywood

A big warm welcome to White Cottage which I have lovingly restored and extended to make what I think is a wonderful cosy home, which 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 anomalies – I just love them 😊. I still have a bit left to do, but all in good time!
White Cottage is a former railway cottage, located on 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. The huge advantage is that we are next to a railway halt with excellent train links to Bangor, Belfast and beyond. It is a very quiet line with little or no disturbance. White Cottage really is an ideal location for both business and pleasure.
With wonderful sunsets from the decking area, perfect for a cocktail or two and a good sized garden for children and pets, the south facing garden really is a fabulous spot. There is a stunning kitchen leading onto a dining area with a couple of steps up to a huge sitting room with a sumptuously cosy wood burning stove. 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.
You will have use of the whole place, apart from one room, which is kept under lock and key for all my bits!!, but the rest of the house is perfect for friendly and respectful friends and families who wish to explore the beautiful Co Down coast.
Two minutes walk from my house, you can take a train to Sydenham within close proximity to George Best Belfast City Airport and the Titanic Quarter, also Belfast City Centre with its easy and frequent connections to Belfast International Airport and the stunning Antrim coast. Here you will find the Giant’s Causeway, a World Heritage Site and the world famous golf course, Royal Portrush, host to the 2019 Open Championship.
Just one stop in the other direction is the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, where you can spend a day or two exploring and be taken back in time.
With my business head on (owner of a Catering & Events Company) and when Covid 19 restrictions have eased, I am more than happy to arrange small gatherings at the house. Might it be drinks and canapés on the balcony enjoying the fantastic sunsets, a private dinner party or a chilled-out BBQ in the garden enjoying the fire pit, you can sit back and relax, knowing that your event is being managed by me, allowing you to enjoy your evening and your guests without the added hassle of ensuring that your guests glasses are topped up 😊.
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.

Summary: This was by far the best property I have ever rented. Check-in very easy, and wifi was great. It was very, very clean (immaculate!). Beds and bedding comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with any cooking tool you could possibly need or desire, the decor was beautiful. Kitchen and baths and entire property beautifully updated. The garden and deck area were amazing for relaxing. With the train station beside the cottage you are positioned to visit literally anywhere near or far in Ireland. We did not rent a car this trip. Quick train ride away you have Titanic Quarter and all the culture, restaurants and history in Belfast. Plenty of restaurants including the Dirty Duck with its amazing views and many others in Holywood one train stop away or a quick walk along the sea front. If you like long walks with beautiful scenery this is the place to stay. The Culloden Estate and Spa (afternoon tea, champagne garden and restaurants) and the Ulster Folk Museum are also one train stop away. Once you take the quick train ride into Belfast you can then travel down to Dublin or across the North Coast to many towns, including Derry. It is a nice break from driving. For day trips we used private tour company, Giants Causeway Tours (great (!!) family run business) there are also many bus tours out of Belfast, if you prefer. Sea Front walk is minutes away and has incredible views. Amazing coffee truck on the sea front. You will not be disappointed renting this property!!
