About this property
Port Tara Holiday Home, close to Portballintrae Harbour and the Giant's Causeway
This recently refurbished home located in the picturesque village of Portballintrae can accommodate 12 guests. It is ideally suited for gatherings of family and friends or equally attractive to golfing groups who wish to play the world renowned local courses or for any other type of group looking for a base to set off and enjoy the delights of the North coast. We have also recently hosted a number of wedding partys who have been getting married at Dunluce Castle, just a few minutes from our house.
Consisting of 5 deluxe bedrooms, 2 with large ensuites, 2 additional bathrooms, 4 reception rooms and a large fully enclosed back garden the house provides plenty of space for a large group to spread out and relax.
A 7kw EV car charger is also provided for the convenience of guests.
We now operate a no pets policy.
Portballintrae is an idyllic village just outside Bushmills and 4 miles east of Portrush. It is close to both the Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the world famous Bushmills distillery all within walking distance. This quaint fishing village, on the edge of a horseshoe bay, is lined with a modern hotel and private properties and drops down the cliffedge to its peaceful, working harbour and small beach. The harbour is a haven of activity at the weekends and throughout the summer with locals and visitors enjoying open water swimming, paddle boarding, boating and many other outdoor activities.
For the keen golfers the 9 hole Bushfoot Golf Club is a few minutes walk from the house, offering stunning coastal views, it is a lovely course to play. Of course for the more serious golfing enthusiast Royal Portrush links golf course, host of the 148th British Open in 2019 and selected to host the 153rd British Open in 2025 is only 10 minutes drive away. 25 minutes drive will take you to Portstewart Golf Club with 3 fabulous links courses. Host of the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. The winner Jon Rahm stated " the golf course is amazing, it's probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most."
Port Tara has a strictly no smoking policy.
