Crayfish Cottage, Portrush: Spacious, stylish, seaside cottage 2 minute drive to the East Strand Beach and Portrush Harbour. Free-WIFI, wood-burning stove, super-comfy beds, two separate lounge areas, family-friendly (cot, toys, dvds, family games and jigsaws etc), "secret" garden, patio and BBQ area, private off-road parking, brilliantly-equipped kitchen and utility room.

Built in the 1930s, Crayfish Cottage is a traditional seaside cottage packed with beautiful art deco features, but with all the comforts of a careful, modern restoration.

Sleeping 6 - 2 double bedrooms (downstairs), 1 twin bedroom (upstairs). Each bedroom offers crisp white sheets and snuggly duvets. The family bathroom has a shower, separate bathtub with fluffy towels and complimentary Faith in Nature toiletries. The fully-equipped kitchen leads to the dining area. With a washing machine, tumble dryer, full height fridge freezer and storage space there is plenty of space for drying kit in the utility area.

Deep armchairs and sofas surround the wood-burning stove in the lounge . The Reading Room on the first floor is a place to relax, read and play games. With a twin bedroom just opposite, this makes a brilliant top floor hang-out for younger guests in the family who get to enjoy their very own space.

Downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms makes this property suitable for older guests and those with limited mobility (apologies - no wheelchair access).

There's plenty of outdoor space too with a lawn area at the front and a secret garden to the side with BBQ area and picnic table creating a magical space for sitting under the stars.

Crayfish Cottage is a two minute drive or a fifteen minute walk to the heart of Portrush town right amongst favourite restaurants, bars and shops.

IF CRAYFISH COTTAGE IS BOOKED ON YOUR CHOSEN DATES TRY THE EQUALLY LOVELY COPPERPOT COTTAGE ALSO LISTED ON VRBO.

Amazing Cottage - Great location
On a quiet street about 10-13 minutes walk from the town centre lies this gem of a cottage. We were three couples and it was perfect. Clean and comfortable with all the amenities, it was a perfect spot to walk into town to the beach, golf course and great pubs (Harbour Bar!). Nicci was a great host and was very easy to communicate with. This is an amazing place and we will be spreading the word!

Great springboard
We really enjoyed our stay at Crayfish Cottage. Walking distance to beach & town centre but on a secluded road with little traffic. Mins by car to White rocks beach - perfect for sand dunes, long walks & swimming. The cottage was well decorated, comfortable, plenty hot water, kitchen well stocked with utensils- we are vegetarian so we cooked a bit at the cottage & had what we needed. Lidl walking distance away for anything we needed. Nearby spar at Maxol petrol station also had great selection of food/snacks. The garden was loved and well tended and a secluded space on the property. The reading room upstairs provided privacy when needed. Recommended property for exploring the North Antrim area.
