We are situated on the outskirts of Portrush(<1mile) and central to the beautiful Causeway Coastal Route which is rightly regarded as one of the world's top drives as it meanders from Londonderry(Derry) through picturesque coastal villages and the Glens of Antrim to Belfast. The many historical sites trace the turbulent history of this area from medieval times to the present day.

This area is a golfer's paradise with beautiful links courses. Royal Portrush(2012 Irish open) 1mile,Portstewart 3miles,Castlerock 7miles etc etc. The Causeway Coast Golf competition in June attracts golfers worlwide to these beautiful courses
