Location
Portstewart is one of the most iconic locations in Northern Ireland offering some of the best views and scenery in the country. Once a small fishing village, Portstewart became a popular Victorian holiday destination and remains extremely popular to this day.
Close to Portstewart is the Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was created 50-60 million years ago by molten rock intruding through chalk beds to form a volcanic plateau of hexagonal basalt columns…though legend credits the giant Finn MacCool as it’s builder.
Also nearby is the Old Bushmills Distillery, on the current site since 1784. The area has a long tradition of distillation with the granting of a license to Sir Thomas Phillips by King James l in 1608. The Bushmills range of whiskeys are as much appreciated at home as across the world.
The Lighthouse is located on the stunning Portstewart coastline offering exclusive panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the bay of the blue flag beach Portstewart Strand, a stones-throw away from the subject property. The Portstewart Strand offers a beautiful 2 mile stretch of golden sands and is one of Northern Ireland’s finest beaches with views of Inishowen headland and Mussenden Temple perched on cliffs above. This attraction offers long walks and exploration into the ancient sand dunes which are declared as an Area of Special Scientific Interest, as well as picnics and a favourite for surfers. The habitat surrounding the beach is a precious nature conservation site with way-marked trails. For nature enthusiasts, the Bann Estuary is located nearby, offering a sanctuary for waterfowl and wading birds like curlew and redshank.

The immediate surrounding area boasts amazing attractions including Dunluce Castle, the world heritage site of the Giants Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, the famous Bushmills Distillery and many ‘Games of Thrones’ locations to explore. Many beautiful hikes and walks of various difficulties are found in the area such as The Cliff Path in Portstewart stretching from Promenade to Portstewart Strand, White Rocks Beach in Portrush, Shepherds Steps and North Antrim Cliff Path Hike in Bushmills, Mountsandel Wood in Coleraine, and Mussenden Temple in Castlerock.
